Star Wars movies tournament: Revenge of the Sith
November 10th 2019, 3:24 pm
Decided to make a funny tournament between the Star Wars movies. I will summarize all the votes after each round. Each thread will be open for, I don't know, 3, maybe 4 days. I don't want to set any rules, since this is purely for fun.
We rate the movies, then I tally the votes into arithmetic average.
Note: the other rounds are obviously still going on, but I'll be just posting new round each few hours, bump the older threads on Discord and here, etc. to keep things moving and active, since there's no need to wait.
My personal interpretation of the scale below, in spoilertag.

Fourth round: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (ROTS)
My personal interpretation of the scale below, in spoilertag.
- Spoiler:
- 1/10 - absolutely terrible movie without any saving grace. Every aspect possible is just bad. There are no qualities in the movie, anything you can think of is subpar or straight up worst ever.
2/10 - extremely terrible, disgusting movie, a complete failure, although minor details can be okay, even if the movie in itself is one of the worst in history.
3/10 - bad movie. It may be very good in terms of technical aspects, the music, the effects, but with plot and writing being so terrible you cringe all the time, with literally nearly nothing making sense, but with visuals that are good to watch. Maybe it's the opposite, and plot is good on paper, but acting looks like done by random normies who never even saw the script. Maybe plot is good, and acting is okay, but terrible camera work make it so painful to watch for the eyes you pass.
4/10 - poor movie, but not tragic. Maybe it's overall subpar, with no real extreme downsides. Maybe it's pretty good in some aspects, but terribly sucks in some crucial thing so much it brings down the rest.
5/10 - as average as it gets.
6/10 - it's okay. Good thing to watch, it's fun, nothing to really recommend to others, but it's a good experience, even if nothing really interesting. As with other scales like that, maybe the story and acting is rather subpar, but epic visuals and music make it a good time to watch it. Maybe it's a good story, but told rather poorly. Maybe the worldbuilding is nice, and plot is just somewhere around.
7/10 - good movie overall. There is not a single thing you can call terrible and bottle-necking the entire movie, even if some aspects can be rather average or even subpar. Pros outweigh the cons by an insane amount though and there is not a moment of doubt it's a nice movie.
8/10 - great movie. Just that, great, great in every regard, the worst aspect of the movie is just above average, or maybe some plot holes or bad premise pull it down, but basically bad things are either just details, or some very basic aspects like the premise itself.
9/10 - fantastic, outstanding movie. It's just nearly perfect. Maybe some themes are not for your taste, some music themes are poor, one or two actors are subpar, but overall, it's insanely great movie nearing perfection.
10/10 - perfection in its genre.

8/10, Lucas really turned it around. Great film, some minor/major issues, but I loved it overall.

My actual opinion is that it's 9.5 but I'll be generous and give it a 10. It's my second favourite SW film, terrific movie.

7/10. A good movie, but the novelization is much better.

Novels are usually better than films, both due to their penchant for narrative and flowery description as opposed to visual storytelling as well as their ability to go much more in-depth than a film that is limited by a runtime limit. Unless the author is really bad, basically any book is better than its live-action counterpart.

7/10. Still not on par with the Empire Strikes Back

I liked the Grievous portions much better in the novelization and Stover does have great prose and knowledge of the EU but honestly, I thought most the dialogue was really cringy to read even by Star Wars standards. "Happy Empire day!" "He told me I would leave you in pieces." Obi-Wan staring at Anakin's butt. The constant "This is what it feels to be blah blah blah". I actually think Shatterpoint was a better novel from a writing standpoint where Stover uses a more plaintive writing style. The other novelizations were better companion pieces IMO. This one just feels a bit overindulgent.

The story probably would have been better served if split into two films, one with it ending in Anakin's turn to the dark side and the other focusing on the eradication of the Jedi order and the rise of the empire.
That said what we got was still a great film. Still prefer TPM overall but a great finish nonetheless.

Grievous and Dooku were wasted, other than that solid 8/10

This is an 8/10 for me. A "flawed masterpiece" like the other PT movies, except with less of the "flawed" and more of the "masterpiece". Has perhaps the greatest soundtrack, some of the most emotional scenes and moments, and overall a really epic conclusion to the Prequel trilogy. Of course, there are plot holes, some poor pacing, wasted opportunities, etc., but there's a reason why its story events are so talked about and its scenes so famous.
