Even with my vastly lowered expectations, I didn't care very much for Return of the Sith. The script seems as though Lucas just vomited into his word processor, and despite what many high profile reviewers have claimed, you cannot make a decent movie without a working plot and passable acting. Very little was consistent or interesting, for me, and the worst of this was the politics, both the internal and the metaphorical.

The acting was also tank. I didn't expect anything out of Hayden Christiansen, but I thought Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Jimmy Smits, etc, could make up for it. The only person having any fun is Ian McDiarmid, and boy does it show. He ran away with every scene he was in, and if I see the movie again, it will only be to enjoy the Emperor.

And let's not even get into inconsistencies between the prequals and episodes IV-VI: ExpandCut for Spoilers )
