Cheese is fine, but limburger isn't. Fucking could've hurt my jaw from all the cringe.

ROTS vs TLJ

I posted a gif with the same quality as the gif he posted.
Except Kylo does that before his enemy strikes ...

Honestly, Revenge of the Sith. The Last Jedi has great highs, but never can quite stick the landing. Sith is consistent, and has the best scene in the prequels(the opera house).
It's honestly one of the worst choreographed scenes in any SW film that isn't a part of the OT. People get distracted by the RED CURTAINS and don't pay attention to how crappy the editing, continuity, and staging are XD
I'd sit down with friends and have a great time rewatching ROTS. I'd also get much more out of the far superior dramatic throughline and setting of the overall story.
I'd sooner kiss a Wookie than sit through 'the OT but worse', with frustratingly poor decision making, planning, cohesiveness, and wasted potential that is the similarly overstuffed and under developed TFA and TLJ. Everything that isn't Rey/Luke/Kylo in TLJ is a complete waste of time! :)
And don't get me started on how they mishandle and purposefully degrade potentially the most interesting character —Finn— :(
I concur the throne room scene is pretty bad. If you actually watch its mostly a bunch of dumb guards standing around swinging there weapons around and waiting their turn to come in. There was a stuntman who broke this scene down on some youtube vid its pretty funny.
I thought the PT fights were utter shit. The fight in TFA was great. This though...
I'm dying watching the guys just running away on the left
its... soo.... stupid lol
he jabs his lightsaber in the ground and then someone hits the lightsaber
people run away from Rey for no reason
one of the red guys hits his staff against another red guys staff!
FUCK
.......That's not the worst scene in ROTS.
I see people praise this scene a lot when it's just an exposition dump coupled with Anakin acting like an idiot and never once questioning how a supposed politician knows such a story only to go
"HEY WHAT A MINUTE YOU'RE THE EVIL GUY?!!"
later in the film when Palpatine has to be even more obvious about being the big bad.

I love that the guys on the left just STOP, turn around, and walk away near the end. XD
Every time I watch it some new terrible thing catching my eye XD
It's like they lost the final and had to make due glossing up one of the rehearsals.
ROTS is a comically horrendous wreck.
TLJ is the first Star Wars movie with something to say since Empire, and has some of the best scenes in the series.

This is a silly as fuck matchup.
One is a finale and the other is a second act.
ROTS should be compared to TROS and ROTJ.
TLJ should be compared to AOTC and ESB.
So obviously ROTS wins.

It most certainly is, by a considerable margin. It's the kind of scene that belongs in AOTC.
Thankfully the romance scenes are kept to a minimum in ROTS.
That gif is badly choreographed. There's a part where Ben literally stabs his lightsaber into the floor for no reason.
It's really not.
Not when you have shit like this:
The film's conflict and climax are all dependent of the romance that the entire trilogy had focused on soooo 🤷♂️
TLJ is the better made movie, ROTS is more rewatchable but for mostly the wrong reasons. I'll vote for the latter but only just barely because I dislike both.
TLJ is the only Star Wars movie other than empire that has transcended its franchise as a film.
That said Palps is kick ass in the ROTS, in fact with Disney plus I just for the first time ever sat through all three prequels and it took me a week (man people were not kidding when they said these films, especially AOTC, are really bad) but I must admit it's worth watching anything with Palpatine. The rest of them can burn in trash.

That's not a scene. That's a line of dialogue.
Which is followed up by this one wonderful bit of scene chewing.
Sure brings me better memories than whatever came with TLJ.
How can anyone dislike this
This is sad. Pitting the best and worst film, and the vocal minority ;) ;) ;) are choosing the worst?
That is trolling right there. Troll post!

Yes that's the bad choreography at play.
What the fuck is this for?
Yeah the video game was pretty awesome

At least the actors and stuntmen aren't missing their marks so badly that they have to reset or it ends up looking like the point was for them to hit the openents saber instead of the person wielding it. XD
I should know better than to come into TLJ threads at this point...
It doesn't feel like a normal difference of opinion, it feels like half the internet saw a completely different movie. I don't hate Revenge of the Sith but thinking any of the prequels are better than TLJ is so absurd to me.

It's even less fair to compare TLJ to AOTC 😂
Especially the part where Sheev is holding the wrong lightsaber for large parts of it and how it rushes Anakin's turn to the darkside. I especially enjoy the random shot of Anakin running past a bunch of dead jedi bodies, not questioning it, and slowing down to walk. And somehow believing the guy with lightning hands isn't too dangerous to be kept alive. Which is followed by the murder of children five minutes later because fuck good pacing and writing.

They both fucking suckYes that's the bad choreography at play.

No argument there but like we need to make the matchup make sense at least.
A lot of people watched ROTS as a kid and refused to admit that they didn't know any better when it came to film quality. 🤷♂️
That's not how post-partum depression works.
