Topic: Unpopular Opinions
So on a music forum I'm pretty active on, we have a thread called "Unpopular Opinions", which is pretty much exactly what the title makes it sound like. It's close to the most popular thread on the board, and leads to a lot of awesome in-depth discussion on different topics. I thought it'd be interesting to see how such a thread would go here; I imagine it'll spawn some discussions similar to those in the "Walking It Back" thread, if it's successful.
To start things off: Revenge of the Sith is actually my least favorite of the Star Wars prequels. Phantom Menace is without a doubt the worst objectively, and ROTS gets the most right, but as discussed in its WAYDM, the things it gets wrong are just insulting. In addition to the little things that show just how much they didn't care (Darth Stapler, the resolution of Artoo and Threepio's story, the pickup shot of the lightsaber, etc.), we have annoyances like:
--Padme going from at least an attempt at a strong female character to a weeping, useless mess
--a John Williams score that, while at least attempting something different, is for the most part just dull
--the absolute worst-choreographed fights in the series
--arguably the worst dialogue of all three films ("Love won't save you! Only my new powers can do that!" "Unlimited powah!" etc.)
And really, all of the positive things only make it worse, as they just emphasize the missed potential of it all.
