When this movie came out in 05 everyone loved it for the most part. It had an 8.something rating on IMBD for a long time...now its 7.6. With the release of the new movie there seems to be a bandwagon of episode III hate. Not cool. Ep3 was great. Yeah it had its moments of Haydenisms but
People are acting like if Hayden took his talents to Miami or killed a kitten. Lol Am i the only one?
People woke up and saw ROTS has major flaws. This has been going on for years, long before TFA was announced.
This is a good look (if a bit long) at just how flawed it is:

Note the original review came out in 2010, and was re-uploaded recently due to copyright claims.
I actually really enjoyed EP 3!
shareMe too. It's one of my favorite movies.
shareSeriously enjoyed it more than any of the other flicks. Not saying its better...just saying i enjoyed it. Obi vs General Grievous was well done. The heartbreak of order 66. The final battle on mustafa. Vader's transformation. Yeah that corny Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo was retarded but to say it was wack completely cuz of Haydenisms is dumb. It was an emotional Rollercoaster ride. I think people just like to hate on Lucas cause its the cool thing.its a Bandwagon like a Golden State Warrior fans.

A lot of people hated it in 2005.
Maybe not on IMDB, can't remember that. But on a lot of other internet sites, it was hated.
Personally, i think it's a stupid movie.
I'm just on my way up to Clavius.
I never cared for the prequels that much. I always preferred the Original Trilogy and the prequels do contradict the Original Trilogy. For instance in the Original Trilogy it was never said by Yoda that Luke could never get married if he was a Jedi or that wanting to be married is what lead his father Anakin to turning to the darkside. Lucas for no good stinking reason added that rule into the prequels. If he couldn't think of a better reason for Anakin to turn to the darkside then he shouldn't have made the prequels at all. I freaking hated that plot point in all of them. The prequels have good action scenes and that's about the only positive they have. They are entertaining to watch I will admit. But I didn't care for the story they told.
Green Goblin is great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1L4ZuaVvaw

or that wanting to be married is what lead his father Anakin to turning to the darkside.That's not what this film depicted.
The prequels didn't contradict the originals at all. Yoda never even mentioned anything about love or marriage in the originals.
And the story of Anakin's downfall is one of the best things about the prequels. Don't tell me you were honestly expecting Anakin to be some saint who suddenly wanted power? The originals never even mentioned in details how he fell. The only thing that was revealed was that he was seduced by Palpatine. So it would only make sense that he wanted power for noble reasons (to save his wife) and due to moral and emotional turmoils.
I think Anakin turning to the Darkside was more than just his love for his wife but honestly, it makes sense when you think it took the love for his son to fulfill his destiny at the end of Jedi.
shareYou're missing the obvious. It wasn't marriage per se that was the problem - it was continuing to hold onto deep seated personal attachments, and Anakin's primary attachment was not to Padme but to his mother. This was never explicitly spelled out because how do you go into detail about an Oedipus complex when your projected audience is 13 year old boys? Take that into account and it explains Anakin's immaturity, despite his grave responsibilities; his defiance of the male authority figures (ObiWan, Windu); his surprising crush on a woman several years his senior. It was all transference from his mother to Padme, who he'd actually adopted as a mother-figure in E. 1. This was compounded by his inability to protect his mother, and then realized when he killed his father (Mace Windu standing in for the authority figure that was preventing him from, again, saving Padme (his mother)). It even makes sense of the silliest "Nooooooooooo" in SF history, as it is a realization that despite his best, soul-killing efforts he again had failed to save his mother (Padme) who he was in love with.
Simple, isn't it?
Some people just love to hate
shareGrievous is probably the worst character in the movie, the cough cough cough is unexplained-we're supposed to rely on the now non-canon DVD movie Clone Wars (not the recent Clone Wars that is canon) to find out Mace Windu wacked Grievous one in the chest for him to start coughing. That was fine and dandy in 2005 when a lot of people had watched the Clone Wars anime, but that is not fine in 2016 when no one has a clue that thing even existed and Grievous just coughs coughs coughs his way to failure.
It's also stupid that Obi-Wan goes into Episode III with NO idea that Palpatine is the sith lord they are looking for, despite being told in the third quarter of Attack of the Clones that the Sith were leading the Galactic Republic & Senate. So stupid, as a result, Palpatine is allowed to endure and a 22 year Empire is born.

You don't really need an explanation.
It's also stupid that Obi-Wan goes into Episode III with NO idea that Palpatine is the sith lord they are looking for, despite being told in the third quarter of Attack of the Clones that the Sith were leading the Galactic Republic & Senate.It's easy to say Obi-Wan is stupid when you're privy to information that he isn't. From his point of view, Dooku may have been trying to create mistrust between the Jedi and the Senate.
Most Starwar fans dont mind doing the extra homework. You forget the main reason for the movies are to make money. They have to figure out a way to get you to buy the books, comics and watch the shows for more profit. The Starwars universe is endless and they cant possibly put every little detail into a 2 hour movie. However, if you have never seen the Clone wars tv show and you're a fan, you should def watch it. Its amazing.
shareGrievous cough is not explained in the movie, but does it need to be? It's just a little quirk and a nod and foreshadowing to old wheezy himself.
shareThis movie was greatness mixed with trash so it evens out to a good movie for me. Some parts like order 66, the mustafar duel, and the beginning were absolutely great (like the best in the franchise great) but those parts are just so dragged down by all the bad dialogue and missed opportunities (showing anakin killing younglings instead of a sweet battle between clones and anakin vs jedi) but still...overall a good movie
share"With the release of the new movie there seems to be a bandwagon of episode III hate"
I noticed the opposite : with the release of TFA there are a lot of crazy people who try to convince normal people that the prequels were good.
I cant take the opinion of "Normal people" who take online personas of a dull and extremely boring Conan movie serious. Conan had some of the worst acting in cinema history. lol
