This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ewan McGregor is awesome again as Obi-wan and Ian McDarmid as Palpatine but the rest of the rest cast ranges from poor to forgettable. Though you can see it from a mile away the betrayal of the Clones with Order 66 is probably the best moment of the movie. Unfortunately, the moment that the entire trilogy, nay the entire Star Wars series up to that point, counts on fails miserably. That moment is Anakin's falls to the darkside and it is unforgivable thus the hard rating. From the original trilogy we were told that Anakin was seduced by the power of the darkside. Instead it went something like this:
Through half of the movie, Anakin is shown to be a trusted Jedi who has a great relationship with his mentor and friend Obi-wan Kenobi.
When the two Jedi friends are separated, Palpatine starts "luring" Anakin to the darkside with tales of the Sith and trying to pit the Jedi Knight against the council.
Anakin finally learns that Palpatine is the Sith Lord that they have been looking for. He never puts 2 and 2 together that, as the Sith Lord, Palpatine has been playing both sides of the war. Obvious because there are always only 2 Sith and Dooku was named as a Sith earlier in the movie. Palpatine has been the reason for so many Jedi and Clone Troopers murdered and countless of civilians killed over the past few years. Anakin doesn't seem to care.
Palpatine feeds him some line that he can help him save Padme from death. This is the guy that hid from Anakin for 13 years the fact that he was the sworn enemy of the Jedi.
At first Anakin goes to inform the Jedi Council who immediately send a group over to arrest the chancellor. Here we see the worst excuse for a lightsaber fight in Star Wars' history. It's just laughable. Jedi MASTERS literally just stand there while they get stabbed.
Anakin walks in at the last minute and has to make a quick decision to save:
A) the sworn enemy of the Jedi that just lied to him for 13 years
B) his friend, colleagues and brothers who helped raise him since a boy
The rest goes down in terrible cinematic history.
Palpatine's first order after Anakin's heart wrenching decision is to go back to the temple and murder everyone he has ever known... and some children.
Anakin goes from heroic war-hero savior to child slayer in less than 2 hours.
Where was the gradual seduction to the power of the darkside? Instead we got some seduction by a creepy old liar and one hasty split second decision. These scenes literally ruin everything you thought you ever knew about Darth Vader and Star Wars up until those moments.… Expand

The CGI may be a lot better here, but this film is still ruined by horrendous dialogue, headache-inducing action sequences, another terrible performance from Hayden Christiansen (and other characters, although his is still by far the worst) a manic, plot-hole-filled mess of a story that attempts to squeeze tons of failed character development into the film's second half, more worthless, unconvincing romance and tons of 2000s blockbuster movie clichés that are impossible to take seriously. The fact that this movie has so many fans and defenders is downright tragic; maybe in 2005 it might have been a nice surprise because it's more visually interesting than the first two, but it's aged so extremely badly to the point of being inexcusable. The prequels will forever be a complete abomination, among the worst movie trilogies in the history of film.… Expand

However, this one is the "best" out of all of them, I guess, because it's the only one that felt like the missing chapter of the franchise and the one thatThe Star Wars prequels are pretty much the same in quality: they are god-awful. However, this one is the "best" out of all of them, I guess, because it's the only one that felt like the missing chapter of the franchise and the one that finally explains the backstory of Darth Vader that actually matters.

As a Star Wars movie fan, I give it praise for the action scenes and lightsaber duels, they are great and are moments fans wanted so much, like the fight between Obi Wan and Anakin or the fight between Yoda and the Emperor, they look really fake (More on that later) but at least the great score makes them exciting.

As a movie, this is AWFUL. Seriously, the acting, directing, cinematography, visual effects, writing almost every single aspect is BAD!
The acting is awful, it's extremely cheesy, melodramatic, cartoonish, I mean, the lead (Hayden Christensen) is an awful actor and Natalie Portman, Samuel L Jackson and pretty much every other actor (except Ewan McGregor and Ian McDiamird who tried) is just bad.

The directing and cinematrography are just mediocre.

The writing, oh my god, the writing. Who turned Star Wars into a melodramatic middle school play!? You might say that's the point but it's not! The original Star Wars and Empire had good writing! Seriously the dialogue is so bad, it's corny, it's cheesy, it's dumb, it's hilarious and total cringe at times (Remember Darth Vader's "NOOOOO"? That's supposed to be a sad moment but that writing made me burst out laughing). I swear to God, you need to watch this to just make fun of how horrible the dialogue is.

It's full of clichés, Ankin and Padme have no chemistry, their romance feels forced, it has tons of plot holes and incoherences and tons of things that are contradicted in the original trilogy (like how the hell did Obi Wan aged so much in just 19 years, don't come up with some explanation from the comics or anything, I want logical explanations in the Star Wars movie canon), and a lot lazy writing (Like ohhhh so C3PO got his memory erased so that's why in the original trilogy he doesn't remember that Anakin created him, how convenient, right?).

Not even the visual effects are good: Star Wars is a franchise known for its outstanding innovation in visual effects, but here, genius filmmaker George Lucas (Ha,fun fact: the best Star Wars movie wasn't even directed by him) decided to use CGI heavily and as a result, this movie hasn't aged well. I swear to god that when watching this I'm just "why not just make the actors CGI too? They're pretty much the only thing that's not CGI. The visual effects haven't aged well and as a result it looks like a Playstation game, how is it that a movie from 1977 has more convincing effects than a movie that came out in 2005?

What a terrible movie, I mean I don't review the other two (Phantom and Attack of the Clones) because I'll say pretty much the same (except in Phantom I'll just add the worst comic relief in cinematic history, you know who it is and if not, you must be a Star Wars fanboy). Seriously, those who give this a 9/10 or 10/10 must be Star Wars fanboys, like, guys, open your eyes! Open your eyes and admit that this movie has more bad than good. Even The Last Jedi is better YES, I SAID IT, you wanna know why? Because at least that movie is better in almost every aspect I just criticised (Acting, cinematography, visual effects, writing) not the best in the franchise but at least better than these three prequels.… Expand

No twenty minutes of psychological twisting to break him, nothing just "la-di-da, I'm good! I must uphold goodness!" "la di-da, I'm evil, let's kill some kids". And that's not even an exaggeration. This is the worst Star Wars movie ever made, hands down, and one of the worst movies PERIOD. NO amount of flash can take that away. In addition, Haden has the acting talent of my left testicle. He couldn't pull off a convincing CADAVER. In my mind, there are three star wars movies, only. The last three were pathetic attempts to leach money from fanboys and the unaware, with zero effort or skill put into dialogue, plot, or character development, and Lucas should be ashamed for prostituting his own creations so completely.… Expand

We cared about a mysterious force without explanation. We enjoyed hating Darth Vaders weezing. Harrison Ford was cool. We all wanted Liea in THAT bikini. We all wanted to own a light sabre. We all thought the cute fluffy things we're cute and fluffy. We watched 3 more films. We didn't care about some fandangled unexplainable force. We all hated General Grievousnesses wheezing. Harrison Ford didn't continue his decade long trend of appearing in bad films. We all wanted Padme to slap Hannakin. We all got a light sabre for christmas. We all thought the clumsy, jokey characters were clumsy and jokey. But that's not why this film is bad. It's the final fight scene of the final Star Wars film. Good vs Evil, we've watched 6 films just to see how one of our favourite film baddies turns from a whimsical, indecisive, unemotional freak into an all powerful, unforgiving yet emotional freak. And what do we get? Handbags at dawn....... "You're evil" "No! You're evil!" "Well you're eviler!" "Well you're evilererer!!!" We then realise that all along we actually know all the story and that we're watching a pointless cash-in. Still our light sabers and all that merchandise was pretty cool huh?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was worth a watch, that is the only good thing I'll say about it. Even then, only watch it when it's on T.V. and you have nothing better to do. Masturbation is a better use of your time.

The most disappointing aspect of the 3 prequels is the lack of artistic integrity. The original 3 were works of imagination, initiative, clever writing, and wonderful story telling with a hint of special effects. The 3 new Star Wars movies are only special effects mixed with bad acting and simple story telling. There were no surprise twists or turns in the story line, it was utterly predictable and uninteresting. Anakin (Hayden Christensen) seemed to be a completely week minded, morally confused, hormonal teen-age girl. Coupled with Haydens terrible acting, it was almost embarrassing to watch. I feel like he got an acting certificate from a community college, or more accurate, Lucas pulled the first semi-decent looking man off the street with no previous acting experience and threw him in as the man who turned into Darth Vader. The Jedi were laughably powerful in some aspects and the actual power of the force was laughably feeble. Light saber duels were overly complicated and literally just a dance with pretty lights. So many questions that this movie doesn't answer and so many questions it raises. Why can Yoda move amazingly dextrous when fighting, yet so crotchety anywhere else? Why, with a council of 10 or so JEDI MASTERS not see this coming when I, a simple watcher of events, knew what was coming, even had I not watched the first films? Why, devoting his ENTIRE life to the Jedi order, did Anakin decide to turn against it with little more than 2 conversations with the emperor? Why was master Windu able to defeat Darth Citius(?) so easily yet Yoda, seemingly the Jedi leader, fall so easily to him? Why would you move to a lava filled, dangerous mining facility with magma splashing around to sword fight? Why is it that NOT ONE person said 'Hey, killing all the Jedi seems wrong.'? Why would the Jedi council put Anakin in charge of watching the emperor if he was obviously close and friendly with him, knowing that he was wildly impressionable? These are just a few of the questions that either needed to not be asked or could have been answered with some basic story telling. The Emperor has been working for YEARS building his power, planning out his take over, conserving his power, yet the plan was laughably feeble and relied far too heavily on events that were, in all realistically, EXTREMELY unlikely to happen. So many holes in the plot and unrealistic events. Bottom line, this movie seemed to be written by 14 year old boys saying "You know what would be cool? um... um... um... if they had a sword fight on lava! Or if um... all the clones were actually really mean instead of the valiant army of level headed clones!" The acting... oh the acting. Natalie Portman, with her disturbing attempt at loving and crying. Hayden was overly dramatic and switched from a dark, twisted lord to a lovey dovey husband and future father, both grossly different emotions for one character. There should have been come carry over but it was a terrible switch in roles. The only decent actor Ewan McGregor. Even Samuel L. Jacksons acting seemed forced. Its as if they did one take for every scene and said "Good enough!" and left it at that.

All in all, doesn't deserve the title of Star Wars by any means, but its still a watchable moving if all you're expecting is flashy special effects.… Expand

Anakin's turn to the darkside is what makes it the worst. His turn was handled with all the delicacy of a monster truck rally. I will split this review up into parts. 1) Anakin turns to the darkside in about the time it takes you to scratch your ass. Nevermind all of the horrible oddly specific speeches given to him by Palpatine throughout the movie. The scene where Anakin stumbles upon Sideous and Mace dueling and decides to side with Sideous is so awfully done. Basically Anakin is forced to rashly decide where his allegiance lies, with the people who have trained him and raised him since the age of 9, or with some creepy looking old dude who basically does the equivalent of luring a little kid into their van with the false promise of giving them candy. There is really no drama, intense thought or reasoning, or even any visible struggle in Anakin's decision. Then after its all over its like "well I guess I'll just do whatever you ask now". Really? Thats how he turns? He acts like a little **** the whole movie because his elder's don't think he is mature enough. More like teen angst than "turning to the darkside". 2) The dialogue is SO poor and pathetic that even Republicans were like "well we probably shouldn't exploit that one". I'm pretty sure a 7 year old with down syndrome could write better dialogue. Each line delivered with the stiffness of morning wood. I can only imagine the actors doing a table read of the script "Uh George.... should we REALLY say that? Like really?" 3) The characters are so flat and boring. Grevious? C'mon just call him generic bad guy with sinister voice. All of the Jedi Knights are clearly retarded for not seeing anything wrong with Anakin or Palpatine. Are they not supposed to be the most mindful creatures in the galaxy? Can they not move **** with their minds? Apparently they can't see anything thats happening right in front of them. Padme is pretty much rendered to random sobbing and crying. 4) The end where Vader screams NOOOOOOOO... self explanatory. Theres a whole bunch more, but this is clearly the worst of the new three. At least Phantom Menace had Liam Neeson, and Clones had a cool battle/war sequence. But pretty much every aspect of this movie is garbage I can't imagine anyone, from the director, to the actors, all the way down to the guy who sets up the sandwich spreads in between takes, had their heart in it at all.… Expand

The only thing that kept me there was the feeling that I ought to see how it ended. And to be fair, the last half-hour was entertaining, but only because it was bluntly (spoiler-style) explaining the mythology and background that was so well hinted at in the original trilogy, and made those first films seem all the more impressive as a result. (Starting a new, expensive film franchise on Episode IV is actually pretty inspired and brave when you think about it, eh?) An analogy. The original trilogy was the magic trick and the prequels just explain how it was done: They're not as good, they devalue the trick itself, and the best they can do is give you a cheap thrill by referencing the original and crudely filling in the gaps that made it 'magical' in the first place. But at least I didn't have to pay for my ticket :)… Expand

The dangerous, witty and noble reality of the first two movies in the series has collapsed into a bloated mess of unconvincing technology and inane scripting. The original vision proved that adolescent auteurs had both hearts and minds. After nearly 30 years, those same moviemakers seem to have been running in place, losing much of both. Hayden Christensen's inexplicable casting, ticking like a time bomb through the last three movies, finally detonated any last hope of salvaging a satisfying close to the series.

However, Episode 3 sinks the Star Wars saga into a new low. As JB said, it makes a complete mockery of the characters that were depicted in the trilogy as serious and had many similarities with real life people throughout history. George Lucas tried to squeeze way too much into this movie, and he also tried to succumb to the likes of little 8 year olds who hardly understand what's going on. He sacrifices the inspiration, the wonder, the heroism, and the drama which were a main element in the trilogy movies all for the sake of special effects and not wanting to confuse 8 year olds. Along with forgetting how to direct actors, Lucas has also forgotten a lot of military strategy elements which were a part of the trilogy. Instead of making the opening scene a race to stop Grievous and his fleet from retreating, he turned the scene into a "2 Jedi storm the flagship, outnumbered 5000 to 1 and still beat them" kind of battle. The movie basically goes from the opening space battle, with good visuals, but crappy military realism and bad acting, to a few other battles which were all interrupted to create even more intricate plotlines, and during all these battles, all we see of Coruscant and daily life in the Republic is the view from Padme… Expand

I am always amazed at the HUGE technology gap between the two sets of trilogies. Just look at R2-D2. Where was all that stuff later? He can fly? What the @!#$%?! But the biggest continuity problem is that Anakin is such a freakin' little girl! I have a hard time believing that this whiny little girl turns into Darth Vader. C'mon! Vader is decisive, intelligent, calculating, and very, very strong. Anakin is operating on the level of a junior-high school girl. "I'm SO in love! I CAN'T lose her!" And yet he still FAILS to do ANYTHING to help her. I'm sorry, Kris B, I loved the original trilogy as much as ANYONE, but this flick DOES NOT wrap everything up in a neat little package, in fact it colors the characters we've loved for decades in a very bad light. Granted, the acting, dialogue, and writing in general were NEVER more than just adequate in ANY of the 6, but only goes to show that Lucas is a CRAPPY DIRECTOR, and an even worse writer.

This film is based so much on digital effects and how to get every part of the story across in a impressive way it seems they (director, producers etc) have lost sight of what makes a good movie. v. dissapointing however if u've seen the other two at least give this one a chance.… Expand

George Lucas can't direct or write to save his life. All of these most recent films are gobbling turkeys and this one is no exception. The acting is stiff, Obi Wan is a complete bore and kind of a goofball, Yoda has been turned into a George Lucas can't direct or write to save his life. All of these most recent films are gobbling turkeys and this one is no exception. The acting is stiff, Obi Wan is a complete bore and kind of a goofball, Yoda has been turned into a Mexican jumping bean, the mystical aspects once so enchanting are now totally absent, every frame has to have something amazing that you've never seen before, robot dialogue just doesn't work, there's a plethora of toys everywhere, the dialogue is so bad it reaches new levels of sheer banality, the love story doesn't feel at all real, how the Jedi order remains unaware of Anakin… Expand

Not only the worse Star Wars Episode but one the worse films I've seen. Extremely bland and elementary dialog. It just seemed to be short acts of basic information separated by computer graphics of locations. I'm sure the die hard Not only the worse Star Wars Episode but one the worse films I've seen.

I've seen piles of rotting veggies that were more entertaining.

Just a long string of saber fight after saber fight. Generally, I like it when movies actually have a STORY!!!! Shame on you Lucas...

I was totally let down by this movie. I've waited too long for this trash movie to be this bad. I had high expectations for this film and that's my fault. They were too high apparently, since after viewing star wars 3, I'm I was totally let down by this movie. I've waited too long for this trash movie to be this bad. I had high expectations for this film and that's my fault. They were too high apparently, since after viewing star wars 3, I'm disgusted. First, I feel that I must add that I like the star wars story, as a whole. I got myself ready for this movie. I read all the comics & saw the clone wars cartoons. So, I was ready. The movie starts off great. Nice sound, nice visuals, lots of action. I'm feeling, "things are good". For the most part, things stay good, only if you don't notice the details. In my opinion, it's the attention to details that make star wars such a great story. Lucas is not consistent with the "big" details. I really can't explain without ruining the movie. I'm upset that other writers, people that worked on the comics & cartoons, put in a lot of work to make great stories for the build up to this movie, only for the movie to mess things up! A lot of the acting is laughable, the Grievous battle was a joke, Anakin is evil at the blink of an eye, and the "higher ground" law didn't apply in episode one. I think this movie is Hollywood trash and not good enough to give it anything near a ten. I wanted more and I'm pissed that I didn't get it. This is a mainstream movie, so the regular people will love it. But, for those of us who remember the original movies, read the comics & novels, and saw the clone wars cartoon, this movie is the third worst star wars movie.… Expand

If anyone thinks they should listen to a word Lucas says, I dare any fan to watch the episodes in order I through VI (as Lucas says he intended all along). The plot holes will be large enough to drive an entire deathstar through.

The rating I gave this movie represents the amount of effort Lucas actually put into the prequels.

Ugh, people like this film? It's my least favorite SW film period. How GL could mess up the prequel trilogy so badly is beyond me.

It is not as good as people pretend that it is. I feel like there as some really good parts. Anankin and Obi-Wan have better chemistry. Though the dialogue is still really awful. The score is good.
