But then it all changes.
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 The Complete Star Wars Saga

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The fans have it wrong!The other reviews are longer to read than the movie itself! The fact is, all six films are wonderful! If Lucas had filmed in order part one, two, three, four, etc. We as an audience wouldn't have cared by part five and the better fims would have been lost forever, selling nothing! But since Lucas filmed 4,5,6, and then returned to 1,2,and 3, focusing more on special effects, he kept his fans far more interested and sold millions, possibly billions! Lucas is a genius! I loved the Phantom Menace! It is a cool name and wonderful movie. Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith just got better and better! You love these movies! Go on admit it! You can keep complaining but you're not fooling anyone! Rating: - This is how I like it. This was worthy of Oscars besides for special effects and soundtrack you know the customary Oscars that Star Wars movies are thrown when they come out. This was well done all the way from storyline to the cast. Most returned from the "Attack of the Clones", and just picked it up from where the last movie left off. I have also noticed that there are little moral nuggets tucked away in these films. The one for here is humility. Not to be humiliated, but to be of a humble spirit. In the scene where Anikan and Obi-Wan were fighting in the volcanic world Obi-Wan reveals to Anikan that he was supposed to be the chosen one to restore the force to it's proper balance. Unfortunately, Anikan couldn't wait to have power, and use that power for the right reasons, so he joins the Dark Side, and uses his powers for evil now instead of good. It seems to me that we as humans have trouble with humility. I am worst of the lot. I can't stand still, and allow the Lord to direct my paths I have to forge it out myself, and believe it's the Lord's will. I feel that Anikan's downfall was the fact that he couldn't wait. It was shown in "Attack Of The Clones" that Anikan couldn't wait, and he couldn't control no matter how Obi-Wan tried to tell him to control his feelings, and tried to make him only think of his duty. That's all well and good, but you can't be blind to your passions realize you have them, and be honest about them, so you can learn to control them, and I feel that's where Obi-Wan failed Anikan. I can't help ... Read More Rating: - The dark side!As a fan of Star Wars, I absolutely loved the movie. I couldn't wait for the DVD release and on Nov. 1, fans got their wish, although with different choices. What was interesting, unlike many blockbuster films that are released on DVD, Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith received special treatment. The three sets featured Obi Wan Kenobi, Mace Windhu and Annakin Skywalker. The hard-to-find second set features Darth Sidious, Darth Vader and Count Dooku. The third set featured three clone troopers. As for the DVD, it does not disappoint. The audio and video is stunning. The DVD comes with two discs. Disc one features the main movie (and the dancing Yoda easter egg). The second disc is jam packed with Star Wars Episode III goodness and features six never-before-seen deleted scenes with introductions by George Lucas and producer Rick McCallum. Also included on the second disc isa full-length documentary titled Within a Minute, a featurette on Annakin's transformation to Darth Vader in The Chosen One. A featurette on the training for the jedi battles in It's All For Real. Fifteen web documentaries of the making of SW:ROTS. The music video for John Williams A Hero Falls. Theatrical teasers and 15 TV spots. Theatrical posters and print campaigns from around the world. Never-before-seen production photo gallery. A playable demo with two entire levels for Star Wars Battlefront II for the XBOX and Star ... Read More Rating: - It's all a bit average reallyWell, on the plus side, its not boring and its certainly not as bad as ATTACK OF THE CLONES. There aren't as many mawkish love scenes or whining from 'Anni,' although there's still too much of that for the films own good. Christensen's performance has gone from terrible to annoying (he's bad, just in a different way), but then no-one is much good in the film. They're just there to link the computer effects sequences that Lucas is really interested in. The film has a frantic pace which proves to frantic for subtlety, character or plot. Annakin's move to the Dark Side is never really that credible, just a plot point. He does it because if he didn't, he couldn't become Darth Vader. You won't be bored, but you also won't be convinced by the bits between the wildly overlong action scenes. Like RETURN OF THE JEDI, Lucas swamps the film with overkill. More lightsabre fights, bigger space battles, even more lightsabre fights, big stormtrooper battles, yet more lighsabre fights, and a lot less return on the investment. You get the picture. There's so much of it that by the time you get to the lightsabre fight that counts, your reaction is "Not ANOTHER one?" All in all watchable but also pretty forgettable. It's not a film you really need to see, but you probably won't mind it if you do. But that does seem to be an underwhelming verdict for something this anticipated. Rating: - My son loves the seriesI ordered episodes 1 thru 3 for my son. They all arrived before the promised arrival date and with no damages. Browse for similar items by category:
