The General Grievous vs. Obi-wan duel in Episode III could have been so much more. It's just that they relied too much on motion capturing, and since 4-armed people are hard to find, they had to make Grievous get rid of two sabers quick.
They really failed to exploit the unique stuff that Grievous could do. And they dropped the ball by having him act desperate and try to run away too soon.
Clone Wars cartoon Greivous = badass. Movie Greivous = not so much.
comment #52415 That bugged me to no end during the movie. If Grievous had an actual fighting style beyond "OMG BUZZSAW!" he'd have won. Honestly, tactics: You have 4 blades, your opponent has one. Lure your opponent to attack, any attack, and block it. You are now occupying your opponent's one blade. Advantage.

I pretty much walked out of the theater when I saw how they completely butchered Grievous. -_- Heck, even the Count got butchered, the guy that was able to fight with Yoda gets "punked out" in about three minutes?
Lame excuse, they should have just killed Grievous in the cartoon series with a proper battle instead of being cheap skates and not go to the trouble of making a cool fight. And Lucas had said they only did the chest thing so people knew he wasn't a droid....
hmm I am just a fan of Grievous. Maybe cause I'm a girl. I've seen other female fans just fawn over him ^_^. While males seem just bitter that he wasn't all "bad arse" and blade wielding.
I just like his character, he stood out quite a lot.
