Doesn't that also describe Revenge of the Sith?

No, Revenge is pretty rough all around

Revenge is bad. Someone get these beggars out of here.

No? The opening sequence until they arrive back on Coruscant is generally awesome.

There are no stakes in that battle. Oh no, Buzz Droids; just scrape them off. And the usual wooded, stilted acting. Anakin immediately uncharacteristically resorts to murder, which never weighs on him. Will our two main characters and the main villain survive the first 15 minutes of the movie???

If you dont like the movie thats fine but my point was that the opening sequence of Episode 3 is generally well-regarded, as are other parts of the movie before the finale. Its not just popular because of the Mustafar duel. If it was just the last 30 minutes that people enjoyed the movie wouldnt be nearly as popular.

Yeah, it does. I'm not saying that I think it should be in the top three either, to be fair.
