Movie review: Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

There are two types of bad movies. The first kind are the banal or the mundane bad movies: films made on low budgets, by filmmakers of modest or no talent, the kind that used to end up on Mystery Science Theater 3000, on late night cable or go straight to DVD, where they languish in obscurity on Blockbuster Video shelves for a few months before vanishing forever. For such movies, badness is a natural condition of their being; given the limited resources, in both money and talent, that went into their making, they have no more chance of being good then a turtle has of sprouting wings. You don’t have to actually sit through Lord of the G-Strings or Carnosaur 2 to know that they’re going to suck. To bemoan their badness is to take a bite out of a dog turd and then complain that it doesn’t taste like pumpkin pie.

Awesome review. I believe this may be the first blockbuster born out of the audience's collective desire to "just get it over."
