It's from this vantage point that I approach "Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith," a filmAs a longtime fan of the Star Wars series, having seen all of the films, I have a unique perspective on the saga's various twists and turns. It's from this vantage point that I approach "Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith," a film that I believe captures the essence of the original trilogy while offering something unique and profound.

The film starts with a philosophical note, portraying good and bad on both sides of the force, something that no other Star Wars movie has managed to achieve. The battle between Anakin and Dooku is a standout scene, masterfully capturing human aggression and pride, and the timeless theme of youth overtaking age.

Palpatine's character is nothing short of bone-chilling. A hegemonic dictator who plays all sides, his manipulation tactics are unparalleled within the Star Wars universe. Hayden Christensen's acting might not be considered top-tier, but in this film, it's not only forgivable but enhances his character's depth. Anakin's uncertainty and restraint in dialogue make his portrayal even more realistic.

General Grievous is a thrilling villain, adding further intrigue and excitement. Anakin's descent into the dark side is portrayed with such finesse that it can be considered an unsung masterpiece. While I am not a fan of Episodes I and II or the films that came after "Revenge of the Sith," this movie successfully captures that old saga energy.

Contrary to the stereotype that this film is inferior to the originals, I believe it stands strong. The final battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan is the best lightsaber duel in the entire franchise, while Yoda and Palpatine's duel is also noteworthy. Padmé's performance is far more authentic in this film, and the romance feels real and grounded, unlike in Episode II.

Overall, "Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith" is a triumph. It retains the spirit of the original trilogy while adding new layers of complexity and emotion. I would rate this as the best Star Wars movie or at the very least, the best one outside the original saga. It's a film that should not be dismissed and deserves its place in the spotlight within the iconic series.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolutely fantastic and heart-wrenching conclusion to the Prequel Trilogy. It had to work to make Anakin a quality character after Episode II, but boy, did it. He's legitimately more likeable and relatable in the movie where he turns into a planet destroying supervillain than in the movie where he's supposed to just be a goodhearted teen with anger issues. It's beautifully terrible to see Palpatine manipulating him, promising him help just to take power for himself... The visual design and effects are breathtaking. (Seriously, how is this the one Star Wars movie not to be nominated for Best Visual Effects?) The worldbuilding is fantastic. The writing and characters are the best they've been since Vader and Luke in Return of the Jedi. It does have a few flaws: the Kashyyk part feels a bit like fanservice/filler, the very final moments of Anakin's fall are a tad confusing, Padme's death feels a bit dumb, and the Order 66 scene is less impactful if you haven't seen the CG Clone Wars show, which hadn't come out yet by the time of the film's release. In my opinion, it's a more significantly flawed film than Episode I. But it's highs are so very high... The score, as in all of the Prequels, is fantastic, and when Obi-Wan says "You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!"... Oh my gosh. This is truly a beautiful film in so many ways.
9/10.… Expand

Well, let me tell you this film is close it is by far one of the Best Star Wars films in the entire Franchise. So I give this film a 9/10.

For this to get a 10/10, it needed to fix one thing, and that is the Plot. Look the plot isn't bad it's just it almost hit the ceiling, but Not even George has the power to create a complete masterpiece...

Ok, I lied it's a 10/10, no Recent Star Wars can compare, everything from the music, the Dueling, the insane plot jumps, the acting, the emotion, the action scenes, EVERYTHING here is of the highest quality and what I expect of Star Wars film.

The Prequal Trilogy especially this film is like Space Opera With action and instead of loud singing, you have the best Star Wars music ever composed by the mastermind John Williams.

This film is the Stuff of legends Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen did an exceptionally challenging amazing Job.

If you haven't watched this and you are a Star Wars Fan, If you are a Star Wars Fan and Disliked this, then I'm Sorry.
You were meant to love this film, not hate it.

Again, the memes here are strong with this one.

George, where ever you are, just know that Disney Right now destroying the franchise you built, the last 3 mainline films are despicable, Star Wars Can be so much more but they refuse to see it. If I ever get the opportunity, My duty will be to fix what Disney, Kathleen Kennedy and the executives have done. It will be a lot of work, and while Disney has put out some good Star Wars content it is not enough, and by enough I mean Quality.

There will be a New Hope one day, hell maybe Disney might Strike back, but there will always be the Return of the Jedi.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most underrated star wars film. this is 100% in my top 3. getting to explore the origin of darth vader through such a wonderful movie is an incredible experience. this is the movie that made me like star wars. and let me explain why:

when I was like 10-11 or something, I saw a new hope. I hated it (at the time, I love it now. it's my favorite star wars movie) I was not interested in watching any more star wars. it was only years later when I finally decided to give it another shot. And I saw episodes 1 and 2, and they were fine. but then watching this movie and seeing the battle of mustafar had me on the edge of my seat. This is currently the only movie I can remember that actually brought me to tears. some movies get very close, but this was the only one to break me. Now I am a massive star wars fan and it is all because of this movie. thank you george lucas for this masterpiece… Expand

This film is like the incarnation of the word "epic". The final fight scene is among the best ever created, filled with epic dialogues, awesome music composed by Mr. Williams and a fight with speed, power and energy. That's how a fight is supposed to be. And yet the film has more to offer than just action. It has a very dark atmosphere and a quite deep story for an action movie. Palpatine's corruption is well written and you even can see the movie as a metaphor to our real life in a few ways. This movie is just one of the best movies ever made, and it's even better than the original Star Wars a new hope. Why? Because it grew up, it's not just about good vs. uberevil, but it's a story of the chosen one, Anakin, who falls to the dark side because of love, and you can see what people are willing to do because of love. Tragic story and awesome movie, hands down.… Expand

What is left to say about Darth Vader? One of the greatest characters ever written, brilliantly
performed by Christensen. Revenge of the Sith makes Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi even better
films than they already were, providing the necessary background to Darth Vader.

On the other hand, it also proves how unnecessary Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones are, which could have been reduced to a 30 minute prologue. In a nutshell, you could say Revenge of the Sith equals EPIC.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Better than I remembered! This film has many layers, from the subtle implications of the Plagueis legend, and the overlying meaning of what it means to be the chosen one, and what those ramifications mean. If you subscribe to the theory that the chosen one prophecy was Anakin destroying the jedi, reducing the sith and jedi to an equal ratio, it's a lot better. Besides that, Hayden's acting is very much improved, and the plot is right to the point. There is no tiring filler like in Episode 2, each scene serves a point and the CGI/Practical effects mix has aged like fine wine. While I am a 2000s kid and I admit this film has a certain bias for me, I truly think this is a competent, well paced and well acted film, but not without flaws. Anakin choking Padme makes little sense and the infamous plothole where Leia says she remembers her mother who died a few seconds after giving birth to her is glaring. What you do see, is a very ambitious and tragic movie that truly felt like Lucas knew, deep inside, that this was going to be his final Star Wars film. ever.… Expand

At least, Lucas fulfills his promise of making a film that 'replicates' the spark of the original trilogy. Nevertheless, something is always missing. The problem lies with Lucas himself. He is more of a great businessman / producer than a director. He pays more attention to his CGI creations than his actors. That's why 'younger' directors such as James Cameron and Peter Jackson have exceeded him at this point. They always bring the 'best' from their actors, making their blockbusters more emotionally resonant. AVATAR has a very simple storyline for instance, but it works because of its actors (and golly gee, they're not even A listers). Revenge of the Sith works in some way because of the nostalgia factor. But it never, ever reach the same heights achieved by the original three.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where it’s two predecessors, Menace and Clones, often felt stuffed with too much window dressing and lack of focus, ‘Sith’ surprisingly comes into its own with thrilling action, a mostly satisfying story of the origin of one of cinemas greatest villains, and a killer soundtrack from the masterful John Williams. ‘Sith’ still features some of the things, like clunky and stiff dialogue, and some odd window dressing and padding out of the plot. Anakin’s decent into darkness is fun as it is tragic to watch, even if a bit rushed and the film is a bit overstuffed with other side plots (the hunt for Grievous) which honestly could have been spread out or explored in previous entries, but the final hour of Sith is deliciously dark, meaningful and perhaps the most pivotal in the entire saga. Seeing the destruction of most of the Jedi, Anakin’s betrayal and turn as Darth Vader and the epic duel between Obi-wan and Anakin on the lava world of Mustafar (Lucas’ metaphorical version of hell) and between Yoda and Emperor Palpatine, is nothing less of payoff from all the previous film’s set up. Overall, it’s not perfect but it managed to end the prequels on a high note and provided a satisfying bridge to the originals… Expand

I was very reluctant from watching Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith because of how bad the previous two movies were, but to my shock this one was actually pretty good! Now of course this isn't some absolutely masterpiece movieI was very reluctant from watching Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith because of how bad the previous two movies were, but to my shock this one was actually pretty good! Now of course this isn't some absolutely masterpiece movie that could be remembered for being classic, but at least it saved the entire prequel trilogy by simply not doing anything bad. I had been waiting to watch this movie ever since I began bingewatching Star Wars. I watched this two years back, so the rating is from that time. I haven't changed it after seeing the cult following.

The story is a huge improvement over the previous two movies, although it does stay in line with them. In the last two movies it seemed as though they completely forgot that Anakin is supposed to slowly turn bad, which is something this movie did pretty convincingly. Anakin became Palpatine's bodyguard, and then he heard the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise. This movie's story is so good that I often get confused when I remember the good parts of Episode II, as to whether they were from Episode II or this movie. When I wrote the review for Episode II, I thought Anakin killing his mother's killers was from this movie.

The character development is also another thing that is much better over here. Starting from Anakin of course. He doesn't like sand. It's rough and course and gets everywhere. The Kenobi-Skywalker duo who were the besties in the beginning of the movie became enemies in the end. Mace Windu gets his comeuppance for being so annoying. And of course, how can I forget that my favourite character, General Grievous is from this movie? He learnt the art of dual wielding from Count Dooku himself!

The next big thing was the CGI. It's amazing how come the first two movies had such a bad CGI but it improved so much over here. It's almost like they took some extra time to polish the visual effects. The cinematography is also a lot cleaner now. Unlike the last two movies, I didn't feel like falling asleep in the middle of the talking scenes.

With all that said, nothing is still perfect. The VFX being better than the last two movies is actually a very low bar. The acting is still very campy. In the beginning scene where Kenobi and Anakin are talking after coming back from fighting Grievous (the one from which the "This whole operation, it was your idea!" meme came), they are both speaking such that one person will finish talking, the camera will linger on them for some time, then the camera will transition to the other character and then they will speak. It looked like a school drama. The final fight was fun but the dialogues ruined it.

Star Wars: Episode III is one of, if not the best Star Wars movie. It is kinda sad that George Lucas does not have the cap when these movies are made. It would have been pretty cool to watch these movies in today's time and technology. This is way ahead of the dumpster fire that the sequel trilogy was. Although I have given it a less rating, I will increase it if I rewatch it in the future.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Revenge of the Sith has some shortcomings such as its occasional questionable dialogue, but it's just full of so many memorable and interesting parts. It's starts of with an amazing space battle and lightsaber duel. Then it moves on to some really interesting parts involving the Jedi council and the emperor and then it ends with the downfall of the Jedi and one of the most amazing duels I've ever seen in a movie. The memorable moments of this film makes it my favourite Star Wars movie alongside episode 5 and also makes it my favourite of the prequels.… Expand

I had a fun time with this. I do have a couple of (relatively minor) complaints, but first the positives. I'd say this is the best that this cast produced during this run of films. Hayden Christensen is excellent in his role, it's the most I've liked him in 'Star Wars' for sure. Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman give more than solid performances as well.

The special effects look nice throughout, while the score is pleasant. I also found the pacing to be practically ideal, which is a marked improvement on its predecessors. The humour and dialogue still isn't great, yet is also bettered. Crucially, the plot is very good.

With all that noted, I do have two things I didn't love. The first being the event that includes Samuel L. Jackson's character. I completely get the intention and reasoning of what occurs, but how it is shown did feel kinda forced and poorly written.

Another is the end, which overruns ever so slightly. I know it's setting up the original trilogy, but there are a few too many scenes; could've/should've ended on you know who's first breath.

However, all in all, I got a positive amount of entertainment and would class this as a step above the preceding two films. I'm glad about that, as it makes the prequel productions way more meaningful and memorable than they were looking to be based on the 1999 & 2002 releases.… Expand

The best of the prequel trilogy, but still not amazing. Hayden's acting is over the top, with all the angst. Some other plot points feel forced, to connect to Episode IV. They tried to pay service to the fans, and partially succeeded.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Revenge of the Sith is my favorite movie from prequel trilogy. It's action-packed and there is little exposition. The story keeps moving forward. It's very well paced and there are lots of great lightsaber duel scenes. This movie came out in 2005 and you can tell. The technology for CGI has advanced significantly since Episode I. CGI looks great.

I even got emotional at the end. I really felt bad when I saw Anakin and Obi Wan fighting to the death. They were friends and they had known each other for a long time. Padme also had a very sad ending.

All in all, I liked the prequels. I plan on watching them again some time in future.… Expand

Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.... the strongest Star Wars prequel, in my opinion. What I liked about the film the most wasn't the action or the special effects (though those aspects remained spectacular as ever), but rather the character development, which was lacking in the previous two films. This movie was truly about Anakin and his transformation into to the Dark Side of the Force, and the movie consistently built up to the classic final showdown between him and his former master Obi-Wan, as well to the born of Darth Vader. "Attack of the Clones" was already quietly setting up that big plot point. We saw Anakin frustrated for not being elected as a Jedi master by the Council, and his dilemma on the nightmares he's been having about Padmé's death. From that, he becomes easily manipulated by Palpatine who puts the former against the Jedi.

Now, there's some things I found myself disliking. The acting for instance was mostly bad. I didn't buy Hayden Christensen's performance when Padmé told Anakin she was pregnant. It was also really hard not to notice the over-the-top acting from some characters such as Senator Palpatine, when he killed Samuel Jackson's character, and screamed excessively, way longer than he should have.

Of course, with all of this we had action, pretty nice action sequences combined with eye candy visuals, and sweet color palette. The lightsaber never gets old, and the sound effects were really great. While I'm not a Star Wars fan (at least not yet), I enjoyed much more the story arc around this time, and all that mythology paid off.

Final Score: 7.5/10… Expand

When Star Wars first hit the cinemas in 1977 the reason it got the amout of hype was because its story and directing stlye was revolutionary for the time and greatly shaped modern hollywood. But in a world where the "Star Wars Formula" is commonly used and further developed Ep 4-6 wouldnt be interesting anymore. The setting "Bad Guys have the power and Good Guys rebell to gain it back" was heavily used in the last 40 years, Star Wars would still be its origin, but that alone wouldnt make it fun to watch. What it lacked was a background, HOW did the bad guys come to power. And ROTS gets into that perfectly. The chancellor manipulating the corrupt republic (based on a war in which he led both ends) and especically the most promising force user in history in the way Ian McDiarmid plays it, is amazing to watch and fills a huge gap in the history of Star Wars, this movie in particular but also the other Prequels are the reason Star Wars is still relevant nowerdays.
