Worse acting/line readings then Palpatine going "No, No no! you Will die!" In revenge of the sith
- Thread starter louisacommie
- Start date
I was gonna say "Too Bad YOU...Will Die!" From Mortal Kombat Annihilation, but someone already posted the clip in here. I'll still say that's worse than that Palpatine line.
I choose to believe that Travolta made this movie deliberately awful to punish Scientology for enslaving him.

Now think about THIS: Stanley Kubrick got a fantastic performance out of him in Barry Lyndon.
Kubrick might be the best director ever just on that basis.
Hating on Sheev? Shame, OP.
In retrospect, McDiarmid deserved some sort of award for making Lucas's bullshit entertaining.

To be fair, Lucas wanted the Jedi to act like they were emotionally constipated because they were emotionally constipated.
It's not the delivery at all. It's just an absurd statement based in absolutes and is even more ridiculous considering the up and down battle they just had.
Sort of like PART Time, there was a line reading or two from Aragorn in the trailers that shat on the version they used in the films by far. One at the Council of Elrond - "We cannot weild it, none of us can."
He sounds so weak and pathetic in the final film. But sounds like a boss at 1:15 in the trailer:

Yep. ROTS redeemed the trilogy just on memes alone.
I don't think there's many movies as memetastic as ROTS in existence.
I feel like Matt Hardy watched this before becoming Broken Matt Hardy.
Pretty much. McGregor was totally wasted on those films. Get that man a well-written Obi-wan solo movie so he can redeem it.

It was highlighted in a RLM review, so it will be repeated ad nauseam even though it isn't even close to as bad as the other examples in this thread.
Lol I remember unintentionally busting up in the theater with my group of friends. God, nothing with be as good as that first time.
It was basically Michael Scott watching threat level midnight after completely giving up on the movie.

The first ever live action movie I had seen as a kid in theaters was episode 3 (I had seen shrek 2 and sponge Bob the movie, which did have live action portions before that)
So it has a special place in my heart
No line in Revenge of the Sith will be as dumb as "I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi."
Only took y'all three movies.

This never stops killing me.
The take in the trailer is confident, like he's saying "You don't know shit about what I do with the rest of my time."
The take in the movie is like, "Eh whataya gunna do I got bills."

So this is basically an Ian McDiarmid appreciation thread? I'm in.
The 4:00 mark is the sound of McDiarmid having the time of his life.

Sheev slowly turning around in his seat gets me every time.
Lol, I know you're ribbing George here, but it's perhaps even more reason why this scene should have been directed to be far more emotional. Having a bunch of weird, emotionless assholes for 2.5 films then finding out their entire democracy and existence are being immediately threatened allows for a good opportunity for Windu to finally show some kind of emotion. It'd contrast heavily from what we've seen previously, and act as a really big "THIS IS IMPORTANT" moment for the audience. Instead it's just "oh jeez, that's no good. We'd better sort that out quick." The reaction is no different than an employee letting their manager know a customer's shat on the floor of the bathroom. If your characters don't seem to give a shit about the situation, why should the audience?
Because that plinkett review told them they should care about it. Otherwise the majority would have never noticed it.
