It was also extremely confusing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first two prequels were bad but at least had some redeeming qualities. This movie was boring and pointless. Anakin&#8217;s transition to Darth Vader was not believable.<\/p>\n<h2>Dishonourable Mentions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The Crow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Senseless violence. I thought it might be interesting since it was directed by Alex Proyas &#8212; it wasn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highlander<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Senseless violence. Even the presence of Sean Connery couldn&#8217;t rescue this garbage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jumanji<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Robin Williams made a bunch of great movies &#8212; this isn&#8217;t one of them. It&#8217;s not funny, just silly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Krull<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just a series of fantasy clich\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Matrix Revolutions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first movie was brilliant, the second was mediocre &#8212; this one took another giant step downward. For a movie set in the future, it felt strangely old fashioned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sleeper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Woody Allen in the future &#8212; this may have been funny in 1973 but it&#8217;s not funny now. Unless you like slapstick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Total Recall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Senseless violence. The last movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger I watched before I decided to boycott his movies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Under the Skin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some critics like this movie for some reason.
