This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the rocky start the prequel trilogy found home and gave us a satisfying conclusion to the Anakin trilogy. While you knew what would happen you still wish things could have been different since you have gotten to know all the characters. There is only really one problem I have with this movie and that is the way Anakin finally falls to the darkside by accidently killing a Jedi. Things really goes from 0 to 100 after that. But maybe that was the point? Maybe George Lucas wanted us to see Anakin as someone who didn't actually want to join the darkside and trapped by one really bad mistake, as an explanation why he still has some good in him that Luke later can find. Even if him killing children feels kinda strange since he so strongly believed in justice. It always felt like it was suppose to take much longer for him to get that far. But then again, this is fantasy and the darkside corrupts really fast. We have seen before that going darkside makes you really dark really fast and turning back to the light goes just as fast.… Expand

Lucas saves the best for last in a film that is not only head and shoulders above the other two prequel films but also, dare I say it, a better movie experience than both "Return of the Jedi" and "The Force Awakens".

Fairly strong ending to the trilogy which contrary to popular perception are actually better films than the originals, maybe not as 'fun' but certainly more intelligent.

Besides, even The Empire Strikes Back had a cliffhanging ending that left room for a sequel and George Lucas finally regained his touch with intelligent writing to conclude the saga that has suspenseful moments, the acting is less flawed, and the visual effects are less overrated. It also has the best lightsaber-dueling action out of all six movies. This movie rules! Stop hating this movie you Revenge of the Sith Haters, it got the job well done to conclude the saga and it was intelligently written and featured great action compared to the originals. And for the record, It's not a bad comparison to The Empire Strikes Back since they share some of the same themes. It also shares a small number of themes with Return of the Jedi and it left room for A New Hope which was the original Star Wars.… Expand

Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, and Ian McDiarmid, are all great and kill their respective roles in this one. The special effects are great and the fight choreography is out of this world. However, what really elevates Revenge of the Sith is that it is the conclusion. In being the conclusion of the prequel trilogy, it is blessed with the ability to be able to have the sequence in which Anakin becomes Darth Vader, which is truly a gift because it is brilliantly done and his transition to the dark side is handled wonderfully. This film is incredibly poignant at times and really retains that biblical element from the original trilogy and beats you over the head with it (lol savior being tempted by the dark side lololol get it? 66? lolol get it yet? omg guys, we read the Bible). I mock it lightly, but I do love the Biblical element all the same. Ultimately, Revenge of the Sith is a good conclusion to the prequel trilogy that is the first film in the prequel trilogy to feel, well, coherent and deserve being compared favorably to the original films.… Expand

But what's flawed is the script was a bit thin. Thanks to Hayden Christensen's improved physical and emotional features, he's very strong at his script when he becomes Darth Vader and he is very good at his Dark-Sided anger and rage which elements his emotions with the Dark Side of the Force and in my opinion, it also gives him a flawless performance to reveal his inner Dark Side. If your in for something thrilling from Star Wars, you could watch this over and over again. So people, Revenge of the Sith is not horrible or whatever you say it is, the battle sequences and the angry lightsaber duels and are all emphasized by it's dark themes, raging tension, the dangers of the Clone Wars, and what villainous people the Sith TRULY are. In fact, the scenes of Jedi being betrayed and killed by Clone Troopers and the angry lightsaber duels is an emphasis of it's raging tension. Anakin being surrounded by the dark side of the force until he becomes Darth Vader emphasizes the dark themes and shows he is truly the Dark Lord of the Sith (As Darth Vader of course). The explosive and very intense battle sequences and lightsabers emphasize the raging tension of the Clone Wars. As soon as Emperor Palpatine overthrows the Republic and turns it into the Empire along with turning Clones against Jedi after he manipulates Anakin into the Dark Side as Darth Sidious, that emphasizes what villainous people the Sith truly are and it eventually emphasizes what an evil Sith Lord Anakin is as Darth Vader. Now that's well-written character development. Powerful storytelling of a conclusion to the saga, it was. Revenge of the Sith reminds us what made The Empire Strikes Back so good: The great dark themes and Jedi-vs-Sith suspense that developed the characters. It serves greatly as a prequel to the originals. The intelligent writing also gave it some suspenseful entertainment. Revenge of the Sith shows how "great" the conclusion to the saga was. And by great, I mean like World War II was one of the greatest wars that ever occurred. It also shows why Darth Vader is one of the greatest Sith Lords ever. It was all powerful storytelling! To all you Revenge of the Sith haters, this movie is not horrible, it's a well done prequel that completes the saga's character development of Anakin/Darth Vader, Obi-Wan, Padme, and the Emperor, so here is some advice: See it as a piece of Star Wars history that teaches what ended the Clone Wars and started A New Hope, like watching a piece of mythology about good and evil because the Jedi and Sith were inspired from mythology so it is very similar to that. As watching it as a piece of Star Wars history, it engaged me, but if you hate this, well I am sorry to admit that is just sad because I mean come on, George Lucas finally succeeded in regaining his touch and it helped this prequel recapture elements and themes of the originals that made the originals classics along with the intelligent writing. Besides, now he has finally taken a Star Wars prequel seriously and Jar Jar Binks isn't such an annoying hindrance anymore. Being a prequel, and the best of the three, Revenge of the Sith absolutely succeeds.… Expand

The story of Anakin's turn to the dark side. In comparison to the last two, it's a huge improvement. While it's not a great movie by any real stretch. As a whole it tells an engaging and focused story. From the get-go you can easily notice that the visuals look 10 times better than the previous two movies. Even the acting isn't as hoaky as before. Yea, there is still some bad delivery here and there, but it doesn't overshadow the ideas of what's in store. Unlike the others, this is the first time I saw a character (for the most part) rather than just a guy trying to pull off a convincing performance. At times you do feel his expressive emotion. In reality, it only pulls through when he is simply acting with his facial features. Even the musical score felt exciting and heart pounding. So yea, it's an improvement, but shades of the last two can still be seen in certain scenes. The chemistry between Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman is still bland, some delivery of ridiculous lines come off as cheesy as hell. However, I still liked the movie overall. There is still some fun to be had with it and it didn't end with a cringe fully bad taste in my mouth. Honestly, this is the only prequel movie that feels necessary if you truly think about it. There didn't need to be two big movies about Palpatine coming into power and how the clone army came to be (not to mention the romance). You could have still gotten the information needed in this movie quick and easy. So, if you're new to the Star Wars universe, my advice is to start with "Revenge of the Sith". It may not be the best, but it's one I think you'll find very interesting. I give it a B!… Expand

One thing I feel I have to address: It's completely unacceptable that Darth Vader would say "NOOOOOOO!" when finding out that his lover is dead, but yet it perfectly acceptable when Luke says "NOOOOOOOOO!" after finding out Darth Vader is his father in the original trilogy? You people are hypocritical morons, and it's not surprising since you people already have biased opinions on the prequel trilogy in the first place. Please, go back to pretending that the original trilogy was perfect and the prequels did nothing at all. The more you say it, the more I know who's worthless opinions to ignore.… Expand

It's the story we all wanted from the start and it's actually a pretty good movie, both from a personal and critical point of view. The main antagonist; Anakin Skywalker is constantly under the dark pressure from his darker self, and the film does give a great inside how he became the main protagonist we all know of. His character is under an enormous pressure, and we see him develop and change in a smart and clever way. The acting by Hayden Christensen is debatable, but it's a great improvement since 'Attack of The Clones' even though he still does lack a greater and a more mature performance. This continuation got one new major character; General Grievous, who might have had a perhaps too fast introduction, and was defeated in the same vast speed. He lack the same character-depth like Count Dooku, but of course not the awesomeness since he's a very menacing and an overall awesome villain. The rest of the main characters are all well presented and there's great interactions between most of them, even though the romance between Anakin and Padmé still got some dry and forced moments, but it's still somewhat okay to watch. The dialogs however; are not as acceptable. There are still some very forced, unnecessary, dumb and weird dialogs. Sometimes you got to wonder why George won't learn from his mistakes (I'm looking at you episode I & II). The vast amount of forced expositions through dialogs are also a major aspect of this third installment, but the dialogs are still not as bad as the previous films, and there are some really good ones (surprisingly!). Still, there are some really stupid moments all over the film where characters really have to explain what they feel, even though it really is obvious through the character's facial expression. Horrible.

Moving on to the action. The first act might be one of the best aspects with this movie, it's both intense and really action-packed! The whole film got much of that aspect, including many spectacular visuals and CGI. The combination with the touching music and incredible cinematography only makes it better. The plot is miles greater than what we saw in episode one and two, and there's much more feel and emotion to the story too. The third act is a big part of the Star Wars-franchise, because it connects the prequels and the original films. I really think it's an emotional part of this movie, even though the climax is a bit too overdramatic and perhaps too long. Since we all know how things are going to transpire (after ep III) is the fight between the main characters too overdramatic, and unnecessary. It lost the feel after going on for too long. It doesn't make the film greater that there are some plot holes too, but just a few of them.

'Revenge of The Sith' is the film we all wanted, but had too wait through two less impressive prequels to get here. It's a much better film and it's the story we all wanted from the start!

The Palpatine/Skywalker story was nailed, and the ending duel between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader is among some the best fight scenes in cinema history.

I have finally watched all six films in preparation for The Force Awakens which I eagerly await with my pre-ordered tickets. Revenge of the Sith is undoubtedly my favorite of the prequels and my second favorite overall, behind The Empire Strikes Back; I was surprised by how much they stepped up their game and ended the trilogy in a darker, more emotional way. In Revenge of the Sith, the Jedi Knights are spread out all over the galaxy leading a massive clone army against the Separatists. Obi-Wan Kenobi is sent to kill the leader of the Separatist Army, General Grievous. Meanwhile, Anakin Skywalker becomes closer to Chancellor Palpatine who is secretly a Sith Lord and eventually leads Anakin to yield to the dark side of the Force and become Darth Vader. Although Anakin's transition to the dark side was only foreshadowed in Attack of the Clones, it is a major theme in this movie and gives the film much more dramatic depth to explore. Watching his mind wawrp into that of an eventual Sith Lord is almost tragic in context with the rest of the trilogy, and it makes Episode III the most emotionally driven prequel. Hayden Christensen's acting is still questionable as ever, which I blame on poor writing. He has great facial expressions and body language, but the material he has to work with is dreadful at times. Even then, Revenge of the Sith is still a wholly satisfying and terrific ending to the prequel trilogy. From its memorable opening action sequence to the final scene showing Darth Vader's construction, Revenge of the Sith is a thrilling and impressive conclusion to the trilogy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know what happened but George Lucas really went back to making incredible movies. Star Wars: Episode III is easily the best prequel and the fourth best movie in the entire saga. While this movie had some bad acting from Hayden Christensen (But he wasn't terrible) and some of the worst love scenes I have ever seen with Anakin and Padme it was still really good.

Star Wars: Episode III mainly focuses on two Jedis named Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Anakin is Obi-Wan's apprentice as Obi-Wan has taught him ever since he was a teenager and has been with him most of his life, excluding his first 10 years. A man named Emperor Palpatine converts Anakin into a Sith as he says it will save Padme (His pregnant girlfriend) from dying after childbirth due to Anakin's powers. After converting Anakin, he executes an order called Order 66 where all the Clone Troopers betray the Jedi and murder them without hesitation. After being converted to the dark side, Anakin kills many Jedis and fights with his master at the end. After having his legs and arms chopped off at the end of his duel with Obi-Wan and getting burnt in lava, he has to wear a special made suit which finishes his conversion into becoming Darth Vader.

Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan) does an amazing job at acting. He is easily the best actor, he somehow managed to read some bad lines and make them not seem terrible. Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker) on the other hand, was pretty bad. He wasn't terrible but his lack of emotion destroyed the amazing character of Anakin Skywalker although he can be whiny and annoying at certain times.

The story of this film is easily the darkest that was made in the entire prequel with Return of The Jedi being second. The reason that this movie was incredibly dark is Anakin's transformation into the dark side as it's story is tragic and the scenes are intense such as Order 66, the final duel with Obi-Wan, murdering the younglings (What the hell?) and putting on the Vader suit.

The lightsaber fights in this movie were truly amazing. While the original trilogies had emotional lightsaber fights, the prequels had great looking ones but they lacked emotion. Star Wars: Episode III had both, it had plenty of emotion with the biggest example being the final duel with Obi-Wan and looked incredible with amazing choreography.

The CGI in this movie was over-used but better than all the other prequels. It looked realistic although it was still over used in many places. I can understand Mustafar being completely CGI though, as it would be impossible to have a lava-filled landscape using practical effects.

Overall, Star Wars: Episode III is the best prequel film, and the 4th best in the saga. You should watch it if you are a fan of Star Wars but if you are not, you might not completely enjoy it. If you are watching this with the family, some kids might find some scenes too intense and graphic such as the final duel with Obi-Wan, the younglings slaughter and the immolation of Anakin Skywalker.… Expand

The film itself is pretty awesome. Yet again, in some parts, the acting seems a little forced, and the score, not being brilliant, does what it has to do very well. The special effects were good for the time it was released, and the action sequences are great and well done (the lightsaber parts weren’t perfect, but they are still cool to watch). The plot, like in any other Star Wars film, has a lot of imagination behind it, it’s absolutely original and great, but when it’s taken to the big screen you can’t avoid seeing a couple of things that simply aren’t right (still awesome, though).
It’s a must-see, surely.… Expand

higher quality. The action was also pretty good in this one. It was a
entertaining film that doesn't quite get good. That will come in with
the later three films. The scene with Yoda against the emperor was a

Ups and downs. The movie is certainly the best of the 3 prequels, but it still has problems. I loved the path that led Anakin to the dark side, very well written and Christensen is very good. But on the other hand, some of the climax scenesUps and downs. The movie is certainly the best of the 3 prequels, but it still has problems. I loved the path that led Anakin to the dark side, very well written and Christensen is very good. But on the other hand, some of the climax scenes lack pathos: Obi Wan's reaction to Anakin killing the children, or Padme's reaction to Obi Wan's report about Anakin's actions, for instance. The final battle between Obi Wan and Anakin is more a show off of abilities than a fight for survival and the sake of the galaxy (in their different point of view) and, again, it suffers a lack of pathos.
The action scenes are spectacular and enjoyable but just a moment after people are always too well combed, clean and fresh (dirty ripped clothes, dirty sweaty face, some scratches and blood here and there could help give the idea of what they've just been through). The final scene where Anakin is rescued by Palpatine and bionic legs are put on him BEFORE curing and even washing his burned skin (or even remove his burned clothes!!!) is simply ridiculous. Padme's death totally lacks pathos, again, and remains a mistery. Furthermore, she has just given birth to two children, isn't this enough reason to live? Has she been killed by Palpatine? If so, it's not clear.
Last but not least, what about an echography? The story is set in a hyper-technological world and she had to wait to childbirth to discover she was carrying two babies.
Jedi are definitely out of touch with the real world, too busy keeping the order and balance in the galaxy I guess, ok, but in the end, when Obi Wan asks Padme if the baby is Anakin's I laughed. Padme's been living with Anakin for at least 3 years and I bet Threepio is innocent.… Expand

The once horrendous 'Star Wars' prequels come to a surprisingly satisfying end.

'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith' is the third installment of the prequels and we finally get to see the dark and troubled Aankin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen)The once horrendous 'Star Wars' prequels come to a surprisingly satisfying end.

'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith' is the third installment of the prequels and we finally get to see the dark and troubled Aankin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) become the legendary Darth Vader (voiced by James Earl Jones reprising his role). The movie begins with a space battle between the Galactic Republic and the Separatists. The action here is very well done, both Anakin and his mentor Obi Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) with dazzling colors and fast-paced choreography.

Their mission is to save Chancellor Palpatine from the commander, General Grievous. Anakin manages to take down Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) and they all return safely. The one issue I have with this scene is that Anakin takes down Dooku with very little struggle, their battle lasts for roughly 5 minutes. Perhaps it's to do with the fact that Dooku is old, (Christopher Lee was hitting his 80s at the time anyway).

Anakin receives news from his lover Padme (Natalie Portman) that she is pregnant, he tries not to let it affect him, but he keeps getting nightmares that she might die at childbirth. Meanwhile, Palpatine wants Anakin to join the Jedi Council as his representative, but is turned down, and Obi Wan orders Anakin to spy on the Chancellor.

Palpatine tells the vulnerable Anakin all about the dark side and how he would be able to "cheat death", Anakin then informs Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) about it and he fights with Palpatine, but Anakin then gives in to Palpatine's tricks.

One of the most exciting battle sequences involve Obi Wan fighting General Grievous which involves Grievous whipping out four lightsabers and the choreography is one of the best I've seen. Another great scene involves Obi Wan fighting Anakin with lava surrounding the two of them, and their relationship is put to the test as Anakin is seduced to the dark side.

The movie's strengths is mainly found within the opening sequence and towards the third act, the middle act does stretch on for longer than it should do as it is mainly dialogue-ridden and just...well plain boring at times. The third act does contain some great acting as the young actors (mainly Christensen) start to show more emotion, Christensen does frown a lot throughout this movie, we very rarely see him smile or showcase more emotions.

The dialogue is still as crummy as ever, but the actors have finally found a way to make it work, but the movie's strengths are found mainly within the battle sequences. Not only is this the best of the prequels, but if you can skim over the stiff acting, and the long middle act, it is a much better "Star Wars" movie than most will give it credit for.

'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith' gets a solid 8/10...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Say what you will about the other prequels (even though I still like them), but you can't bash Revenge of the Sith (I mean, you can but you shouldn't)! Are there some dumb parts? Yeah, like the part where Mace Windu fights Palpatine and the other three guys get killed in a few seconds. However, this movie, as a whole, is superb. The CGI and fight scenes are excellent. It's easily the most action-packed Star Wars and serves well as both a finale and connecting tissue. It's the tale of Anakin officially committing to the dark side and the fall of the Jedi order (it's appropriately tragic. The best part: Anakin vs. Obi-Wan on Mustafar. This is easily one of the best ights in the saga (if not the best)! Honestly, I enjoyed this movie as much as the original films if not slightly more!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Revenge of the Sith" is by far the best episode in the prequel trilogy and a quite good movie in general. It certainly is filled with some flaws though which is the reason I cannot love it, although I want to. Let's start with the cons.
The biggest problems are certainly the bad dialogue and acting. The latter is often way over the top and Hayden Christensen cannot portray the struggle within Anakin Skywalker. The lightsaber duels are nearly too well choreographed because one does not have the feeling that either Jedi or Sith can be hurt by his respective opponent. Darth Sidious pulls too many faces during the movie, General Grievous is not an interesting character and Anakin's turn to the dark side happens too quickly in my opinion. On an emotional basis, ROTS may be the most powerful episode of all. You really care about the characters and their fates. Obi-wan telling his former apprentice about the prophecy or the execution of Order 66 are good examples for that. John Williams' music is absolutely beautiful and is given too little credit, I think. Also the final scene when Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru look up to the binary sunset on Tatooine brings tears to my eyes.
All in all, ROTS is not a great movie but a great ending to the prequel trilogy. If you have not seen it, watch it!… Expand

Frank Oz's voice over performance is great. The makeup and costumes were very nice. Also the musical score was fantastic.… Expand

Though Christensen still can't nail his performance, this is a mostly good and well acted conclusion to the story Lucas set out to tell. A noticeable improvement over the previous two efforts.

An action packed film fitting to end the prequel trilogy, it has an over reliance on CGI, a perhaps rushed story eager to fit in all the action, but it captures an adventurous and new Star Wars feel, worth any fan's time

Una muy buena película. Narra el acabose del jedi más poderoso de la galaxia de una forma bastante acorde a la visión de Lucas respecto a su obra maestra de 1977. Muy emotiva y de acción satisfactoria. Totalmente recomendable. Diez de diez.

Directed and written by George Lucas, it has the participation of Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, Christopher Lee, Samuel L. Jackson and Ian McDiarmid, among other actors.

This is the last film in the second trilogy and, therefore, binds directly to the original film of the first one. The script is good and establishes this connection in an interesting and credible way. The actors performance wasn't very good and this is, perhaps, one of the worst elements of the film. Natalie Portman disappointed, with a dull interpretation, as Hayden Christensen, who achieved a poor and too theatrical performance. On the other hand, Ian McDiarmid knew how to surprise and gave his character a huge dose of cruelty and coldness, capable of raising the skin of any audience. The special visual and sound effects were perfect. The costumes, make-up and scenarios didn't disillusioned Star Wars fans. Thus, Star Wars ended his second trilogy of a fruitful and positive way, up to the early films of the saga, and the wishes of the public.… Expand

A very underrated Star Wars film in my opinion. It brought the darkness and cruel ending to the story, and it left us off with what we needed from the 1977 film, hope.

At last, Lucas manages to not screw it up.

The origin story of Darth Vader and the Empire is a beautifully tragic one, and there was a lot riding on Episode III being the one that would save the prequel trilogy from the lackluster, meandering storytelling of the first two installments. Thankfully, it mostly delivered.

From the opening sequence of Revenge of the Sith, it's clear that the filmmakers have a much stronger grasp on their ambitions. The special effects in this one are leaps and bounds better than those of Episodes I and II, and it results in a much more lively, vibrant, believable visual portrayal of the galaxy we came to love in the original films. Though Revenge certainly does still suffer from the same trend set by its predecessors of digitally constructing entire sets even when it's completely unnecessary, it's not quite as distracting as it was in previous films. For the most part, it works. In addition to this, John Williams' score (as always) is breathtaking. It's arguably the best of all the Star Wars films, adding beautiful emotion to the tragedy of the fall of the Jedi.

Speaking of tragedy, the plot behind the prequels has always been exactly that, but it just was not as compelling as it could have been in Episodes I and II. In Episode III, the plot develops much more quickly and it's fascinating to witness how the dark side of the force manages to seduce everyone and tangle people of all sides of the conflict in their own good intentions. The moving story is further anchored by strong character arcs that make every individual equally relatable, even the villains.

Despite its many strengths that make it stand out among the Star Wars films, however, Revenge of the Sith does suffer from many flaws that it just couldn't shake from its predecessors. The most prominent of these flaws are the acting and dialogue. Both are still much better and more believable than they were in the previous films. Ian McDiarmid is creepy and effective as the Chancellor and Ewan McGregor sometimes shows plenty of meaningful emotion as Obi-Wan. But the line delivery is still just awful at times and the dialogue is written in such a way that it seems that Lucas doesn't trust his actors to convey emotion on their own. Every character must say what they are feeling all of the time, and it's not believable. It's forced and still worthy of cringe and laughter.

Revenge of the Sith is not a bad movie. I would even argue that it's an above-average one. It has a lot of rough patches but most of them are smoothed out by chilling visuals, some forceful character development, and a politically astute narrative that's surprisingly thought-provoking and intelligent.

The best of the prequels where the story and mythos is able to suppress the dodgy acting, Ian McDiarmid is great as the Emperor and the story builds to a good crescendo.

First of all, I am a BIG Star Wars fan so I would love this movie even if it would be really bad, which it isn't. Allow me to explain. I see a lot of people complaining about the acting of Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker). I thought he played the character formiddable. Anakin is supposed to be monotone, dark and impatient. He played this perfectly. Even George Lucas himself said, and I quote: "Poor Hayden. His perfomance was great, they just didn't like the character". The same goes for Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and the other characters. The story was refreshing. I never saw a story fold out like this one. It was not the best, but it was certaintly not bad. It did stick with me after the movie but the build up still feels slow especially since we have had 2 movies before this one explaining the story of Anakin. Effects were great, CGI is great (during the time of making). Film technical I don't have any problem with it. But, there's one thing that does bother me, a lot. And that is that the technology in this movie is so much better in ROTS that in ANH that it looks unrealistic. The ships are more viable and better defended, the troops have more weapons and look stronger and overal the combat technology looks advanced. I know ANH came out about 30 years prior to the prequels and that thus the effect and stuff look worse but that's not what im talking about. Im talking about the machine we see and how it operates. Just rewatch the movies and you will see my point.

7/10 it's great long live Darth Jar Jar.… Expand
