Why It's So Ridiculous: The initial lightsaber battle just about stays on the right side of silly, but things get truly absurd when bad CGI lava is introduced, and the pair start sparring while atop hovering platforms.
That's without even mentioning the atrocious "From my point of view the Jedi are evil" line, or Obi-Wan then slicing Anakin's legs off and leaving him to burn. Not even a mercy kill, of course, because plot.

Overall the sequence represents the best and the worst of George Lucas, drowning out potentially intense, engrossing drama and action with an excess of suffocating effects.
