How the hell does this have such a high rating?

ROTS actually went somewhere compared to the other two, and the fact it had an opening that was entertaining in ways helped it. The climax/ending also seemed to have more to it than the others.

I used to like this movie, and though I also readily saw many of the things people mocked, like the dialogue between Obi-Wan and Anakin, Darth Vader's "NOOO!", the droid slapstick etc. i thought it was a solid movie for the most part.

I think it's garbage now though. The reason so many people seem to enjoy this seems shallow and tied in with low expectations, because this movie at face value did things the previous two didn't, but in the end, it's just as bad as the others, just for different reasons. I can't say which prequel I dislike more, they're all kind of horrible in different ways to me. It's been a long time since I saw any of them in full, but I'm not up to seeing any of them again.

One of the worst scenes in ROTS has to be Padme's disbelief over being told Anakin "killed younglings" when he told her that very same thing in AOTC (which was also one of the worst scenes in AOTC, and did a remarkable job at ruining Anakin as a fallen, noble hero). And calling them "younglings" when Anakin called them "children" before. I used to think "youngling" was the name for Jedi children, but that's actually a Star Wars term for children. It really helps make that scene all the more awful.

I rated this one a 6, Clones a 4 and TPM a 1, because it really is THAT bad and I consider it to be the worst big budget film of all time, for a number of reasons.

I've come to the conclusion that after many years, but at the very least, say 5, there's no point in complaining about the score of a movie on the IMDB. I would say that while there's no such thing as the definitive objective quality, the IMDB score (after some years as I've said) is the closest thing that exists to reflect how good a movie actually is.

If you don't like it, just accept that it's not your cup of tea and move on (and vice-versa). People like and dislike films for all sorts of reasons. I'm not a believer in absolutes, only relatives.

Perhaps because, I dunno um, people liked it?


Star Wars is like pizza, even when it's bad it's still pretty good.

Yeah this film sucks. I really don't understand the ratings on IMDB. The Social Network has the same rating as this? WTF? That's a great movie!

Because it´s an amazing movie you silly :D

Probably because it's the best of which the prequels had to offer. And it was the only good prequel movie.

Compared to the other 2 films in this trilogy, this movie is like the Godfather.
Probably a bit inflated because it was so much better than the other two. I rate it 7/10, it's great IMO.
