Serenity is so overrated. Sure it might have decent dialogue, much better than Revenge of the Sith, but it doesn't have a hell of a lot of anything else. Sure, Revenge of the Sith might have some seriously cringeworthy moments, but to me, they're in different reality's. Serenity being the weaker alternative reality.
It might be overrated.
I didn't see Sith. I just couldn't manage to get my sorry ass to the theater for that last Lucas...I don't know what you call his creations anymore. The characters are just, ugh.
I think Orson Scott Card called Serenity the best sci-fi movie ever. Whedonites are generally starving, frothing at the mouth for new Joss material. And it's not mind-blowingly original in terms of sci-fi themes or ideas. And he's obviously lifting concepts from Star Wars, among other sources. But it's all sort of mixed together in a uniquely Jossian way.
I guess it's a matter of your tastes, priorities. I don't care enough about sci-fi to complain. I care more about the dialogue, characters. I actually enjoyed the pseudo-political, social commentary stuff in Serenity.
