Ok, you NEED to read what a crappy review this is. This is from my local news paper "The Journal News". I don't think they give one good reason why they gave the movie a C+, also note that this paper gave AOTC an A back in 02:

"Lucas' dark finale feels forced"
By KEVIN CANFIELD
"The amount of anticipation surrounding the final installment of George Lucas' "Star Wars" series is remarkable considering that we already know how it's going to end. After all, the key plot twist in the saga — that Darth Vader, once known as Anakin Skywalker, is Luke Skywalker's father — was revealed in 1980's "The Empire Strikes Back." And so, like the other films in Lucas' trio of prequels — "The Phantom Menace" (1999) and "Attack of the Clones" (2002) — "Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith" arrives with a side order of anticlimax.
Having written himself into a narrative corner, Lucas is faced with a bedeviling problem: Can he craft an entertaining film built around a storyline that, in terms of its narrative arc, peaked 25 years ago?
The answer is yes. And no. "Revenge of the Sith" is a visually stunning movie. No surprise there. But if, as some are predicting, this sixth — and final, the director promises — "Star Wars" film rides to box-office records, it'll do so in spite of the stilted dialogue and uneven acting that by now are Lucas trademarks.
"Sith" begins with a 25-minute interstellar battle that finds Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) storming a ship commanded by a creature known as General Grievous. A lanky robot with a hacking cough and a hooded cloak, Grievous has taken the head of the Galactic Senate, a fellow called Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, as his hostage. As hand-to-hand combat ensues, it's clear once again why Anakin is the golden boy of the Jedi army. He has a deft touch with a light saber, and soon enough he has rescued Palpatine and dispatched Grievous to the outer ring of the galaxy.
Returning home to the pregnant Padme (Natalie Portman), Anakin is plagued by nightmares; he dreams that his beautiful wife will die in childbirth, and quickly decides that he'll do anything to keep his vision from becoming reality. (Anakin had similar dreams before his mother died.)
Around this time Palpatine begins exhibiting the classic characteristics of despotism: paranoia and an obsession with consolidating his power, an evil little chuckle. Palpatine reveals to Anakin that he's a Sith, a sect of outer space reprobates whose aim is to destroy — or at least control — the Jedi Order, of which Anakin is a member. Palpatine promises to help Anakin ensure the safety of his wife and child — if, that is, Anakin agrees to take up with the Siths.
Throughout, Christensen is a distracting presence. A slight young man with a lot of hair, he looks less like a roguish space cowboy than he does a sensitive teen living in a dorm room decorated with Belle & Sebastian posters. He seems to believe that scrunching up his eyebrows will make him look fierce, but more often he just seems sleepy.
Anakin morphs into a zero-sum tyrant, and in one scene Lucas seems to be using him to comment on contemporary politics. Late in the film Anakin says, "If you're not with me you're my enemy." The statement is almost the mirror image of George W. Bush's stated position with regard to the war on terror: "Either you're with us, or you are with the terrorists."
Yoda, voiced by Frank Oz, adds plenty of levity, however. A small green creature with big ears and three fingers on each hand, his unusual way with language — he inverts traditional prose structure so that a sentence's predicate comes before its subject — drew many laughs from a theater full of fans at a recent screening. Anyone whose earliest film memories include Chewbacca, the massive fur-covered Wookie from the first "Star Wars" movie, will find themselves chuckling when Yoda declares, "Good relations with the Wookies, I have."
It's telling that the film's best bits of dialogue are spoken by space creatures. Lucas has never been very interested in human beings. But this film's weaknesses are also its strengths; bored with dramatic, scene-setting soliloquies, the director spends most of his time parading his newest and neatest creations across the screen. There's an angry, yelping dragon, a motorcycle with one huge wheel, a river of molten lava and a crack medical team ready to outfit Anakin with a spit-shined Vader helmet. Lucas isn't a great storyteller, but as an inventor of overgrown toys, he's the best we've got."
I just thought this review explained nothing as to why they thought the movie wasn't that great. I dunno, am I wrong to think this way and they're right or are these completely ridiculous reasons.
is that Capt. Dumbass has an agenda. I don't think Gigli got any zero star reviews. C'mon....
