Two Actors Talking...
Two Actors Talking...Posted: 2/4/2009A review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith by thetruereviewer
Yes, that's right, folks. That's all this film is: Two actors talking. This is of course interrupted by seizure-inducing, very much overdone light saber fights and battles we never get to see. Why don't we get to see them? Because we have to go back to Hayden Christensen and Ian McDiarmid talking. If the two were actually capable actors with a capable script, this would not be so bad, but unfortunately, this is not the case. Christensen scowls and delivers every line with child-like dependence upon George Lucas's creative genius, which has sadly waned over the years. Even good actors, like Sammy L. Jackson can't get their grasp upon the wobbly and dumb dialogue ("A Sith lord?!?" >acts surprised<). Another sad thing is the special effects. They don't come close to dishing out wows, and in some cases (example, the Jedi temple) they look like something off of the SciFi channel. All in all, this sad film gives us little to enjoy, except closure to the series and a chance to enjoy John Williams's score (which isn't as good as his other works either).

When They Brought in Davy Jones...
When They Brought in Davy Jones...Posted: 2/4/2009A review of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End by thetruereviewer
When they brought in Davy Jones they brought this film series right down to his locker. Sadly, film makers couldn't stave off the urge to capitalize on a perfectly wonderful, $654,264,015 film. They had to make two more movies that were baaaaaaaaaaaaaad. This film and the one before it made a single fatal mistake: they made Jack Sparrow a main character. "Wait," you say, "he was a main character in the first movie which you called 'a perfectly wonderful... film'". Yes, that is true; I did call it that, but Jack Sparrow was only a mascot that had little interference with the actual plot of the first film. He was a likable buffoon that was everyone's favorite character. He didn't really DO anything. In this film, however, Gore Verbinski attempts to make him into a Shakespearean tragic hero, who even says a serious line in this film (that truly killed it for me). Aside from that, this film also suffers from a terrible heavy metal score, which sadly fits right in with the story. Speaking of the story, it too makes little sense, its very much like the writer just took out some old ideas he had, and cut and pasted them into the script. It truly makes the film a chaotic mess, and really makes the viewer sick to their stomach. As a matter of fact, the only good thing I can say about this film is that it is better then its predecessor.
