Ending the most popular film epic in history, Star Wars: Episode III, Revenge of the Sith is an exciting, uneven, but ultimately satisfying journey. Picking up the action from Episode II, Attack of the Clones as well as the animated Clone Wars series, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), pursue General Grievous into space after the droid kidnapped Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid).

It's just the latest maneuver in the ongoing Clone Wars between the Republic and the Separatist forces led by former Jedi turned Sith Lord Count Dooku (Christopher Lee). On another front, Master Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz) leads the Republic's clone troops against a droid attack on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. All this is in the first half of Episode III, which feels a lot like Episodes I and II. That means spectacular scenery, dazzling dogfights in space, a new fearsome villain (the CGI-created Grievous can't match up to either Darth Maul or the original Darth Vader, though), lightsaber duels, groan-worthy romantic dialogue, goofy humor (but at least it's left to the droids instead of Jar-Jar Binks), and hordes of faceless clone troopers fighting hordes of faceless battle droids.

But then it all changes.


Star Wars Time Line (click for larger image)


After setting up characters and situations for the first two and a half movies, Episode III finally comes to life. The Sith Lord in hiding unleashes his long-simmering plot to take over the Republic, and an integral part of that plan is to turn Anakin away from the Jedi and toward the Dark Side of the Force. Unless you've been living under a rock the last 10 years, you know that Anakin will transform into the dreaded Darth Vader and face an ultimate showdown with his mentor, but that doesn't matter. In fact, a great part of the fun is knowing where things will wind up but finding out how they'll get there. The end of this prequel trilogy also should inspire fans to want to see the original movies again, but this time not out of frustration at the new ones. Rather, because Episode III is a beginning as well as an end, it will trigger fond memories as it ties up threads to the originals in tidy little ways. But best of all, it seems like for the first time we actually care about what happens and who it happens to.



Episode III is easily the best of the new trilogy--OK, so that's not saying much, but it might even jockey for third place among the six Star Wars films. It's also the first one to be rated PG-13 for the intense battles and darker plot. It was probably impossible to live up to the decades' worth of pent-up hype George Lucas faced for the Star Wars prequel trilogy (and he tried to lower it with the first two movies), but Episode III makes us once again glad to be 'a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.' --David Horiuchi

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - My comments are more about critics than this flawed but worthy film - 3.5 stars
1. Really, are there any spoilers? You should know most of this film going into it. I respected that Lucas knew that and still gave the audience an entertaining and sometimes surprising movie. That is to his credit.

2. I've heard people complain about the coughing robot, General Grievous, a fine character indeed. Yet the film makes it obvious that the character is alive, and so the coughing is not a problem.

3. The acting was truly a set back for Attack of the Clones and everyone knows that Jar Jar ruined The Phantom Menace. In this film, I see a very mature Hayden Christiansen who nearly pulls off the role of Anakin, if not for a few hiccups here and there. Yet the moments where Christiansen falters as an actor are largely due to cheese in the script or having to "interact" with an eye towards post-production computer graphics. Even Natalie Portman is bearable here. She finally realizes that her character is meant to love Anakin and die in childbirth. Both Portman and Christiansen simplify their characters and get to the raw root, which is the only way to make Lucas' script work. I believe Anakin cared for Padme. I believed his motivation was such that he would risk his sanity for her life. It doesn't work completely, but I'm more apt to blame Lucas' wooden script before I blame the actors.

4. And yes, there were two or so gaping flaws. Anakin's transformation to the darkness is missing something. The scene needed him to threaten Palpatine's life just one more ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - The Merciful End of a Saga that I never wanted to see! Howard the Duck: where are you when we need you?!
The only thing good about this movie are the light sabre battles; and even they have glaring flaws.
Lucas has shown his utter contempt for his audience with these prequels. I remember well when he saw the line of fans who had waited years for a "star wars film" since "Return of the Jedi" and Lucas sarcastically quipped that the fans needed a life. A strange remark coming from a man making very bad prequels but who had many people willing to put money into his pompous pockets just to relive a moment of Star Wars history,--that moment they felt when they watched the first three movies--especially "A New Hope" and "The Empire Strikes Back". "The Empire Strikes Back" being arguably the best movie in the entire series. The magic began to fade during "Return of the Jedi" when Lucas had the little Ewoks basically being the cause for the destruction of the Empire. Luke, Vader, and the encounter with The Emperor being the best part of the whole movie. He should have stopped while he still had some of the old magic left. Oh yea; and we come to find out that by the third movie "Return" this is somehow some morality play about Vietnam and how a less advanced society could overthrow the shackles of a powerful empire. I guess the Ewoks were the Viet-Cong (the good guys to Lucas); and the United States was the Empire (the bad guys). This is a constant obsession with George Lucas. Right through the prequels into this movie: "Revenge of the Sith", Lucas still made comments about this being a metaphor ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Who doesn't love Star Wars?
This movie is just awesome. I know people have said that Hayden Christensen is a horrible actor, but I think it's great. I love the powerful scene near the end with Obi Wan Kenobi is yelling at Anakin after he cuts off his legs. Anyway, very good movie. And, as always, Yoda rocks.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lucas finally listens to the fans.
Finally, Lucas pulls it off.
After the dreadful Clones I didn't go into the theater with high expectations.
My fears were dismissed as soon as the opening saber fight with Dooku.
Wow!!!
He usually saves that for the end.
LOVE this movie.
Love it
Love it
Love it
The Emperor finally gets the screen time he always deserved.
He truly makes this movie as great as it is.
The fight between Obi - Wan and Anakin? EPIC!!!
The fight between Yoda and the Emperor? EPIC!!!!
The only thing I hated about this movie is the "Frankenstein" impression Vader does at the end. Unacceptable!!!
However..........this film was the best way possible to finish the trilogy and was an adequate apology for Clones.
Another Star Wars must see/must own.
The second best Wars movie. Period.




Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - "I'm Not The Jedi I Should Be" ~ Embracing The Darkside Of The Force
With the release of the '05 film `Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith' it appears George Lucas got the message and delivers a dark, brooding tale that the older and largest portion of this fan base can finally enjoy. It's a wonderful journey that takes the viewer down the dangerous path awaiting those that allow themselves to be consumed by fear, desire, selfishness and obsession.

While this film suffers from the same lame dialogue we've come to expect, the awe inspiring special effects and finally complimented by a storyline worthy of our time and attention. Gone are the cutsie little creatures that dominated `The Phantom Menace' and `Attack of the Clones' giving way to a marvelous battle to the death between the selfless Jedi and the self obsessed Sith.

`Revenge of the Sith' is definitely the best of the three most recent episodes in the `Star Wars' saga, surpassed only by the original `Star Wars' and `The Empire Strikes Back'. A nice way to wrap things up, thanks Mr. Lucas!
