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: - Really good, and worth the wait.This movie, like all Star Wars movies, was good. This one had the long-awaited origin of Darth Vader. It grossed the highest at the box office, and it was overall a great film. Rating:  - They saved the Best for last... But Almost nobody noticedIt is August 2008 as I write this, why have I waited so long? well after listening to all the Star Wars and George Lucas Bashing, I felt I had to Speak Up. As a True fan of Star Wars I have to say something. First off Episode III of the Star Wars saga is Probably one of the best overall Star Wars movies EVER!!! First off why were the Original trilogy so successful and the Prequels so...We'll not as Revered. I'll tell you. The Original Trilogy was Unique and Groundbreaking, nobody EVER saw ANYTHING like that before. Since then there have been a million and one Epics, Action Adventures and Blockbusters. Simply Put For the Prequels, People wanted Anakin to come out of the screen and walk on water.... The expectations were Impossible. Nothing could have matched what people were expecting. They got great movies. That fell short. Anything would have fell short. That is what Happened. Now to the Movie. Here you have the Darkest of the movies, it is Anakins Decent into Madness as he Becomes Vader. People wanted a whole movie, No a whole Trilogy of Nothing but Vader, Well This is the Story of Anikin. Vader is at the End. As the Clone Wars Come to an end. So do the Jedi. WE see The Magnificent Jedi Fall. We see THe greatest duel Ever. Anakin VS. Obi-Wan timed well with Yoda vs. Darth Sideous. It is Spectacular. The Fact that this movie was just about excluded from the Oscars is a crime upon movie - making in itself. People who say George lost it, didn't see the same movie I saw. ...

Rating:  - Ok movie!I am not a die hard Star Wars fan but I bought this for my husband who used to be. He said that the movie is good but it can't touch the original Star Wars movies from the 70's. From what I have seen, the special effects are good though. Rating: - Finally a worthy prequel installment that adds great value to this legendary franchiseLucas and company have done the unexpected, which was pull off a near masterpiece to salvage the prequels and perhaps the entire Star Wars franchise as a whole among its deepest fans, which I consider myself to be. Technically and visually, this is perhaps the best film of all six. True enough, nothing will take away from the magic of any of the first three, but this film can easily be held in their ranks and in some ways, goes beyond. It's almost a stand-alone film, with only the back-story of the Clone Wars being necessary to fully understand it. It could have easily been the only film of the prequels and been just as satisfying. I'll spare you the plot that so many of you know; what is finally touched here is an emotional understanding within the Star Wars universe, much like both EMPIRE and RETURN OF THE JEDI were to able to capture through the relationship between Luke and Vader. What are captured are many things: a history and deeper portrayal of Palpatine and his rise to power. The pain of Obi-Wan as he watches his apprentice fail. The burning desires of Padmé to retire with Anakin and their baby to a life of normality, free of politics and code. Lastly, we bear witness to the walls caving in around Anakin in his attempt to maintain balance between the Republic he has been always sworn to protect, his wife and unborn child(ren) and finally his ambition for power to protect all of the above. Plus let's not forget the epic lightsaber duels we could have only imagined ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
