15 Movies You Wrongly Assume Are Terrible

7. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith

What Everyone Says About It: "It's simply the least-awful entry into George Lucas' wildly disappointing Prequel Trilogy, but still wildly disappointing, with lines like, 'Anakin, you're breaking my heart' to Darth Vader's 'Noooooooo!' proving unintentionally hysterical. None of the actors care because everything's shot on a green or blue screen, and simply, it brings the franchise full circle with more of a whimper than a bang." Why It Isn't Terrible: While it can't reach the highs of the original Star Wars movies, Episode III still depicts Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader in suitably epic style, such that even Lucas' over-production can't ruin it. Yes, there are some cringe-worthy dialogues, but compared to the previous two episodes, this one's practically a masterpiece, and though the hardcore fans may decry it, it's really a pretty solid sci-fi actioner. Weird villains, a darker tone than what came before, and insane action: it's not perfect but it's sure not terrible either.
