Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith received a lot of praise from critics happy to finally see a passable new Star Wars movie.

Harry S. Plinkett's NSFW 110-minute review takes that gimme and shoves it where it belongs. In the words of one reader of Roger Ebert, it "doesn't rip Episode III into 1000 pieces so much as completely disintegrate it into dust."
