It's the best of any of the Star Wars movies for me. Hayden Christiansen may not be a great actor but literally every other actor involved is great, and Ewan MacGregor is amazing (It's also worth noting that Harrison Ford is literally the only good actor in the originals but I won't get into that now). The story for this one makes more sense than any of the originals and adds a level of politics and historical/mythological background that is completely absent from the originals. The action and effects have obviously gotten better with time and because the people involved with Star Wars have so much experience. This movie is exactly what it was meant to be the Fall of Troy combined with Julius Caesar and a little bit of Oedipus thrown in there just for fun.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a dark lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise, he could use the force to influence the midichlorians to create... life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
Best Star Wars movie, don't fight me on it.
The third instalment of the "prequels", Revenge of the Sith is the best of the trio and bridges the gap between the three first and the rest in an OK manner.
The dialogue is still cringeworthy, and the heavy reliance on the bad CGI still weighs heavily on the "enjoyment" factor, however...there's a lot more action sequences in this one, so it actually makes the darn thing watchable...
Hayden Christensen is still the worst thing to happen to the Star Wars franchise after the Gungans, but there's a rather great leap in the performances of both Ewan McGregor and Ian McDiarmid, and Natalie Portman is so beautiful in this one that whatever she does is ok with me.
Revenge of the Sith isn't exactly a movie you would need nor want to see if it hadn't been for the small fact that it IS a Star Wars movie, but since it is, we'll probably have to deal with it for years to come...
The ending is the best part, and I'm not only saying that BECAUSE it's the literal end but because it's one of the things that were actually quite good about this movie.
Watch it if you are watching the whole series...skip it otherwise.
I have tried several times to complete it, but it's impossible. It's simply ridiculous.
What about the Droid attack on the Wookies?
After the disaster that Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones was, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was way better!
The dark tone is back on the saga, the tension is built little by little until the devastating climax. The story was perfectly delivered and it's very entertaining from the beginning until the end showing us great action sequences and good special effects.
I have to say that I enjoyed watching Hayden Christensen on this one, he looks more into the character than he was on Episode II.
For sure the best of the prequels and a great ending to a fantastic saga.
I'm glad that I finally watched all of them. I was for doing this for such a long time! Now let's wait for 2015 to see Star Wars Episode VII.
The ONLY redeemable thing about this movie is the fighting that starts with the Wookies. I give a hat tip to Samuel Jackson who just barely beats Hayden Christensen(?) for worst acting in the film. I can see the pain in both Samuel Jackson and Natalie Portman's eyes as they try to deliver the horrible dialog they were given. The transitions between scenes was laughable as well. I get it that they were supposed to be a nod to the later movies, but those movies were made 20+years ago and those transitions are just gimmicky now. I don't understand why I felt the need to finish this movie. 2+ hours? That is just arrogance.
wow, 80%? really? it's slightly better than I and II, but still nowhere close to being good
The final installment of George Lucas' prequel trilogy, Revenge of the Sith, concludes the events leading up to the Original Trilogy, tying up loose ends and giving closure to the Star Wars story fans have come to know and love. The film follows Anakin Skywalker's descent to the Dark Side, the rise of Emperor Palpatine and the Empire, the downfall of the Jedi and the Separatists, and the epic final duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Although it tries to pack in a lot of events, Revenge of the Sith is considered the best of the three prequels.
The film starts off with a thrilling space battle and doesn't slow down, with plenty of action and less dialogue. However, some plot points could have been expanded on for greater impact and some were conveniently tied up in the end. The acting and dialogue have been criticized in the previous two prequel films, but Revenge of the Sith sees some improvement. Ewan McGregor gives a great performance as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen's portrayal of Anakin Skywalker is more brooding and intense than in Attack of the Clones. Ian McDiarmid's performance as Emperor Palpatine is also noteworthy, particularly in the opera house scene. However, the romance between Anakin and Padmé still suffers from stilted dialogue and poor delivery.
The film is darker in tone than the previous five Star Wars films, depicting death, child murder, mass slaughter and immolation, adding weight to the tragedy of the story. The visual effects are spectacular, with CGI utilized extensively, but some viewers may find it excessive. The opening battle, General Grievous, the setting of Utapau and the final duel on Mustafar are all visually stunning and provide an epic ending to the saga before Disney's acquisition. However, not all decisions in the film were well received, such as having Obi-Wan ride a lizard and Jar Jar's sudden silence. Overall, Revenge of the Sith is considered the strongest installment of the prequel trilogy.
La última entrega de la trilogía precuela de George Lucas, La venganza de los Sith, concluye los eventos que llevaron a la Trilogía original, atando cabos sueltos y cerrando la historia de Star Wars que los fans han llegado a conocer y amar. La película sigue el descenso de Anakin Skywalker al Lado Oscuro, el ascenso del Emperador Palpatine y el Imperio, la caída de los Jedi y los separatistas, y el épico duelo final entre Anakin y Obi-Wan Kenobi. Aunque intenta incluir muchos eventos, Revenge of the Sith se considera la mejor de las tres precuelas.
La película comienza con una emocionante batalla espacial y no se detiene, con mucha acción y menos diálogo. Sin embargo, algunos puntos de la trama podrían haberse ampliado para lograr un mayor impacto y algunos se vincularon convenientemente al final. La actuación y el diálogo han sido criticados en las dos precuelas anteriores, pero Revenge of the Sith ve algunas mejoras. Ewan McGregor ofrece una gran actuación ya que la interpretación de Anakin Skywalker de Obi-Wan Kenobi y Hayden Christensen es más melancólica e intensa que en El ataque de los clones. La actuación de Ian McDiarmid como el Emperador Palpatine también es digna de mención, particularmente en la escena de la ópera. Sin embargo, el romance entre Anakin y Padmé todavía sufre de diálogos forzados y mala entrega.
La película tiene un tono más oscuro que las cinco películas anteriores de Star Wars, y representa la muerte, el asesinato de niños, la matanza masiva y la inmolación, lo que agrega peso a la tragedia de la historia. Los efectos visuales son espectaculares, con CGI ampliamente utilizado, pero algunos espectadores pueden encontrarlo excesivo. La batalla inicial, el General Grievous, el escenario de Utapau y el duelo final en Mustafar son visualmente impactantes y brindan un final épico a la saga antes de la adquisición de Disney. Sin embargo, no todas las decisiones en la película fueron bien recibidas, como hacer que Obi-Wan montara un lagarto y el repentino silencio de Jar Jar. En general, Revenge of the Sith se considera la entrega más sólida de la trilogía de precuelas.

Still not perfect, but 'Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith' is such a more enjoyable entry in the prequel trilogy - which ends strongly.
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.
THE WACPINE OF ‘STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH’
WRITING: 6
ATMOSPHERE: 8
CHARACTERS: 6
PRODUCTION: 6
INTRIGUE: 8
NOVELTY: 5
ENJOYMENT: 7
The Good:
No Jar Jar Binks.
The coughing droid killer machine General Grievous is a great addition to the cast, providing some excitement and humour to the plot.
I like the darker, more mature tone, the more natural take on action and the steady build towards massive finale. Those things alone make this the strongest film within the prequel trilogy.
Ian McDiarmid is great as Palpatine as he turns from a harmless Chancellor the evil Emperor. His presence is duly felt throughout the film and he's a joy to watch.
The darker tone, the growing atmosphere of danger and evil and the build-up towards the rise of the Empire make this film more adult and less comically goofy like the previous two entries.
The plot is slightly more streamlined and focused this time around, particularly turning attention to Anakin’s turn from the light side to the dark side. Those parts are the most enjoyable. The Grievous vs Obi-Wan sequence and the rubbish love story are the types of terrible parts that the previous two films were riddled with.
Thanks to the high tension and high stakes, this film flows nicely from beginning to end. There's enough action to keep you satisfied, yet enough story to sufficiently bridge the gap between the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy.
The film's final act, with Anakin's killing spree, Palpatine's takeover and the duel on Mustafa is among the greatest Star Wars ever made.
The two lightsaber duels at the end remain my favourite fight scenes in anything ever. The epic John Williams score strengthens the excitement factor.
Order 66, Anakin's dark turn and the touching final moments all sent shivers down my spine, which, to be honest, doesn't happen to me very often.
The Bad:
Hayden Christensen’s acting hasn't improved a bit, his and Ewan McGregor's relationship is still problematic and most of their onscreen chemistry is cringeworthy.
George Lucas' ability to write dialogue, humour or politics hasn't improved a bit and still sticks out like a sore thumb.
Ugh. The dialogue between Anakin and Padme is even more cringe-worthy this time around, and the line delivery from both actors is horrible.
The use of CGI is very excessive in this film, which makes many sequences feel plastic-y and unnatural, lightsaber duels and environments included.
The Ugly:
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
WACPINE RATING: 6.57 / 10 = 3,5 stars
Worth it just to see Halfa Christenson
A fast pacing action flick with tons of SFX but unfortunately nothing more. Even after watching it several times I stand by my verdict: for me, this is the weakest of all (new) Star Wars movies! Especially the first half is not very well done and the last few chapters of the DVD / BluRay are just a (not very inspired) transmission to Episode IV - VI.
And not a single clever dialog was given.
That was some waste of lifetime...
Is the best of the 3 and the saber duels are great but everything else just stinks I'm afraid(the music is always top notch)
The sad, pathetic Star Wars prequel series finally concludes with Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. It's what we've all been waiting for; Anakin Skywalker turns to the Dark Side, becoming Dark Vader, and proceeds to lead an attack against the Jedi. The acting is still awful, as are the script and the special effects. George Lucas once again shows his complete ignorance of the original Star Wars films, and commits some major continuity errors. That said, this is the most action-pack film of the series and delivers some spectacular lightsaber battles. While Episode III – Revenge of the Sith has its moments and is fairly entertaining, it's another disappointing chapter in a supposedly epic sage.
Let Her Go Anakin
Master Yoda You Survived
The best of the prequels. It has the best story and best action. The lightsaber fights are a lot of fun. The scenes between Obi-Wan and Anakin are the best. The opening space fight and rescue are cool. McDiarmid and McGregor steal the show.
Both ep. 1 and 2 where pretty sucky but this one is pretty great! Hope the upcoming movie will be as good or better!!
Anakin goes further towards the dark side by becoming more of a whiny, jealous, paranoid mess. He has dreams of Padme dying and thinks only the Chancellor who he suspects is a powerful Sith, can help her.
While the screenplay is so weak that it forgets that Yoda and Obi-Wan shouldn't be so clueless about Anakin and Padme. Especially since Padme did kiss Anakin during the arena fight in Episode 2 in front of every Jedi.
What makes Episode 3 work is all the great light saber duels. As well as the evil performance by Ian McDiarmid. Although I would have to say that Anakin vs Obi-Wan is a bit of let down in the end. The fight is a bit overdone and not as good or fun as Yoda vs the Emperor.
Episode III still has some flaws but this one is the best of the prequel series. Almost up to par with the original trilogy.
In most ways, this is a much improved film over the previous two prequels. As before the design, effects and music continue to be refinements of already excellent work. However, the script is much stronger and Christensen and Portman in particular seem much more comfortable, with far less focus on their romance. The film starts strongly, as the friendship and camaraderie that has developed between Obi Wan and Anakin is shown and the opening sequences are enormous fun. Once the central plot starts to develop, McDiarmid plays a much more prominent role and his scenes with Christensen develop and build up tension, despite the outcome never being in doubt. The final hour moves with breathless ease to bring the story full circle back to the original Star Wars film. Unfortunately, the central plot element of the film concerning the choices which Anakin must face and the development of his character, is rushed at key moments, making his decision difficult for the audience to accept. A better handling of this aspect would have resulted in a much stronger film - as it stands it is these dramatic moments which hold so much weight in the entire story of Anakin Skywalker that let the film down. There are some of the usual problems with dialogue that have characterised these prequels, but here there are far less than before. A real shame, but overall a much better Star Wars film than the previous two prequels.
Watching Episode 3 - Dawn of the Empire L8wrtr Fanedit...
Truly a tragic tale, still the best of the prequels.
After two rather poor films, “Revenge of the Sith” is easily the best part of the Star Wars prequel trilogy for me. It finally tells the story you want to see: how Anakin becomes Darth Vader. And even if the weaknesses of the predecessors are still there, in particular the questionable dialog and the sometimes wooden acting, the pacing works pretty well overall. The action is strong, with the whole opening sequence and the fight between Anakin and Obi Wan standing out. As far as I'm concerned, George Lucas could have left out some of the references to the original trilogy. These often make the universe seem unnecessarily small. But overall, “Revenge of the Sith” is still a conciliatory conclusion to the trilogy.
watching The Clone Wars tv series makes this movie hit so much harder.
Star Wars is back to being great! This movie really improves upon everything the Prequels were. Nostalgia helps, but I truly think this one is great! 9.5/10 :star:
noooo anakin don’t turn to the dark side you’re so sexy aha
9/10
Superb
Although I really ejoy
episode 2 as my favourite
this concluding episode
is the best of the first
Trilogy, being dark and bumping younglings
off plus heads and legs
coming off and of course
engulfed in flames.
Shorta movie and less
soppy lovey-dovey BS
helps. This movie has a nice
pace to it also, actually the best of the Trilogy,
And the way They tie it all
in to 4,5,6 is rather satisfying
and thought out.
and as soon as
Baby Hitler cones of age
thing escalate quickly and
from then on things go
Batshit crazy and I love it.
Side note:
I would have thought
Grandad would have
turned his lightning off
before fcuking himself up
to the point of disfigurement,
Well at least I get to see
my favourite
Purple Lightsaber
can never have enough
Screen time with that
Beast.
Still the best Star Wars movie for me by far.
Revenge of the Sith is a standout installment in the Star Wars franchise, bringing the prequel trilogy to a satisfying conclusion. The movie features some of the most iconic moments in the entire saga and also explores the darker side of the Star Wars universe, with Anakin's descent into the dark side of the Force and the rise of the Galactic Empire. Overall, Revenge of the Sith is a fantastic movie that delivers on all fronts, offering a thrilling conclusion to the prequel trilogy and a satisfying bridge to the original trilogy.
"Remember back to your early teachings. "All who gain power are afraid to lose it." Even the Jedi."
Always try to have the high ground Anakin!!
Revenge of the Sith is my favorite movie of the prequel trilogy. I like the Dark Side of Revenge of the Sith. Anakin finally embracing the Sith moniker Darth Vader. The lighting powers. Yoda is always a treat to see no matter what. Still freaking love Samuel's purple Light Saber and I love how quickly Darth Sidious turns ugly and old after using the Dark side powers and especially how he explains it to everyone. Lovely stuff. I also totally forgot how dark the Jedi temple scene is with Anakin slaughtering the Younglings. Totally forgot about that!
Rewatching the prequel trilogy wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be but damn I'm happy that in the coming weeks I'm finally going to rewatch the original trilogy.
So love has blinded you?
It must have because Natalie Portman is not an attractive woman.
While this movie took a while before people appreciated it, the movie now holds so much weight given how much Star Wars has grown. Anakin's entire story throughout the six movies has led to this single moment, even though three of those movies happen after this one takes place.
The better of the first 3 episodes, still some bad acting but overall better than the first 2 episodes
Objectively (yes, objectively),and lamentably, the worst of the prequels due to mishandled storytelling and screen time management. I like some of the scenes and shots very much. The story it tried to tell was extremely compelling, and it necessarily had some of the best and (brace for proper use of a much abused word) properly epic moments that were culminations of character and universe/plot developments from both directions, in-universe past and future. The development and pioneering of CGI techniques was truly revolutionary. They also looked really bad a lot of the time, and CGI environments were used in place of actual characters, leading to the majority of scenes being 2-4 people, and it made the film feel artificially empty and fake.
There are great scenes that, in a vacuum, make it to an "8", but too often drop to a "5" within the same scene, instead of going on to be classics like the OT's Luke/Vader/Palpatine scenes, but instead became Internet meme bait years later. This film was, sadly, reminiscent of what happened with ROTJ: Some beautiful scenes, a disjointed and partially nonsense plot, and an amazing final showdown. I won't harp on the obvious reasons why scenes failed, but I will remark on what killed the storytelling of the film.
The fact is that the story evinces far too much plot for its relatively short runtime, and the time the film did take was misused. ,,No good film is too long, and no bad film is short enough" the saying goes, and it's doubly relevant here, I think. It really should have been multiple film_s_, films that didn't allow the director to go on extravagant 10-20 minute diversions from vital screen time needed for plot developments. To be clear, I'm not saying the plot outline or premise were bad. They weren't. They were fantastic. In fact, these films have the opposite problem of the Disney Sequels. The Sequels had nonsensical plots that bulldozed the previous plot, character, and universe developments that came before just so that they could make a quasi reboot/remake while still cynically including the old characters to pander to older audiences, but created no, or non-sequitorial justifications. However, they had fully corporate-backed $500M production budgets, and gimmicky directors who possess no creative originality of their own, but could work well with actors to get good performances... for the most part. The Prequels, however, were indie blockbusters, like the OT, only George had more complete control this time, with no one to reign him in, but the core ideas and creativity he possessed were astounding. He's just bad at writing dialog, and bad with actors. And he already tried to get Ron Howard to direct TPM. So really, this is Ron's fault (kidding... kind of).
We didn't need the entire fist two scenes that led up to the confrontation with Dooku. Even the Dooku scene itself was goofy. Fanboy Christopher Lee all you want, but that scene was campy as hell, and it shouldn't have been. Dooku was a Sith Lord by this time, and he should have been menacing instead of just prideful. Peter Jackson made much better use of him as Saruman.
I have nothing against a cool starfighter scene of wonderful battlescape spectacle, but the actual dialog is terrible and doesn't achieve what it tries to. Likewise, we didn't need Obi-Wan chasing the awful Grievous cartoon character while riding a Barsoomian lizard mount. We certainly didn't need a metre-by-metre play-by-play of the entire chase and battle. And the version we got in the theater cut was considerably shorter than the original animatic!
We, however, desperately needed the "seeds of the Rebellion" scenes that were cut and never properly filmed. I watched those scenes. They were vital. They were also really bad, and felt like an afterthought that got cut because the film was already so long and George didn't know how to make it work.
The scenes with Anakin and Palpatine are like drugs hiding in pixie sticks. When they're good, they're electric. McDiarmid, when he lets the veil down as Sidious, is intoxicating. You're just hovering there, watching and waiting to see what Anakin will do in response to his prodding. What I wouldn't give to turn back time to have had George work with great co-author(s) and make a slow burn Machiavellian miniseries showing Palpatine's machinations and manipulation of Anakin and the order, and with Plagueis! Plagueis was behind all of this, and the eponymous novel tells this story, and it would have been wonderful to see the same story told with more of a focus on Anakin and Palpatine's relationship, and Palpatine's triple/quadruple/quintuple?-dealing.
disclaimer: I mostly enjoyed, TCW, BUT...
Yes, there's SW: TCW, but I said great co-authors, not people who consistently ruin quality preexisting lore and characters in an ugly cartoon. There's also no Plagueis. They also ruined Quinlan Voss, who would have been another great inclusion for expanding the story into the Coruscant lower levels if a hypothetical series had been allowed to branch out its contiguous story. Creating Ahsoka, Hondo (arguably more Jim Cummings' creation), Ziro, and making Plo Koon into an actual character doesn't undo the damage done to other characters and better lore from professional writers. It's also a complete ret-con re-write of Anakin Skywalker and his personality because people didn't like the awkwardly realistic, arrested development character that was a talented boy who was continually failed by those in authority over him and who controlled his development. Anakin was like a homeschooled teenager who lived in a powerful cult, insulated from society and never got a proper coming of age journey before he was thrust onto the galactic stage, all while being manipulated and used by everyone. Cocksure Hotshot Fuckboy Anakin is a fucking cartoon character. Fun. But not realistic.
People hate the "cringy" dialog in AOTC, but I found his behavior and even the dialog to be realistic given his upbringing, and I tear up from Hayden's performance and the genuine and wonderfully executed tragedy in that film every time I watch it. It also has a lot of problems, and is often campy when it needs to be serious, but it's also a more coherent film that tells a more straightforward narrative that a single film should. It still should have been at least two films. That's why I still consider TPM to be the all-around best film in the Prequels, purely because it actually works entirely on its own as an adventure film. I don't love everything about it, but it's still one of the most imaginative films ever made. Aside the odd Jar-Jar antic, I also found the tonal balance to be about right all throughout, especially for what kind of film it was. Empire was mostly dark and serious, and ended somberly, and it was magical. Then ROTJ came along and was just all over the place. It's the same with this film. It's great to cut into Star Wars montages like "Obi-Wan has PTSD", which is incredibly affecting. Unfortunately, as a whole, it's mostly missteps along the way.
the best of the prequels, albeit with several deus ex machina. Between the one who is good at deceiving and those who allow themselves to be deceived, makes the change to the dark side
Basically shite like all star wars movies released after the three original movies
Wow! The best one of the trilogy.
Much better than episode one and episode two combined. This is the pinnacle of the final trilogy by George Lucas, the mastermind and creator of the Star Wars universe.

In a chronological perspective, Anakin was right: This is where the fun begins. In a "release dates" perspective, it's where it ended.
It is the best star wars so far (ie it is better than 1 and 2) the visual effects were super good, the laser sword fights were also super.
The action was in every minute of the film.
The final fight with Obi Wan and Anakin very well done. Only again characters appeared, who are normally the main characters for the series, but without an explanation of where is coming.
Worth 9 stars.
I think this film is a great ending for the first trilogy and sets everything for the new one. The music is great and the battles too, but I just can't stand Hayden Christensen and Ian McDiarmid acting so poorly as the bad guys. And the ending lasts ages, it has like three epilogues. I think this could've been the best film of the first trilogy but with these aspects it ended up being just as good as Episode II.
Wow, this is the best of the prequels by for and I seriously underestimated how amazing this film is. From the first few minutes, I could tell that the energy of this film was so different compared to both Episode 1 and 2 as the film throws you into the action immediately and keeps you engaged the entire time. Also, the acting in this film is miles better with every single actor (yes including Hayden) giving their all in the different roles and even the emotional moments in this movie hit you hard as you know where everything is leading to but you don't know exactly how.
This movie is very exciting and I love it, if you love Star Wars then this film is probably on your list as one of the best Star Wars films with some of the best moments.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith’:
The best out of the prequels by far.
Great movie and dramatic conclusion to the prequel trilogy. The climactic light-saber duells are so well made.
Widely considered to be the best of the prequels--though, according to popular opinion, that's not saying much--Revenge of the Sith brings the action and drama as we see how one-time amazingly powerful Jedi Anakin Skywalker becomes the evil cyborg Darth Vader. A commanding story, insane lightsaber duels, appropriately heartbreaking scenes, a forbidden romance...this one has it all.
As good as it was, I did have one complaint: After the final lightsaber duel, the movie really drags. It spent too much time alternating between stories, and felt like it was just added for the sake of length. If they ever remake this saga, I hope they'll give us a more summed-up epilogue next time around.
The best of the prequels, the story is interesting, dark and sad. Ian McDiarmid does a wonderful job as the manipulative Palpatine and the acting in general is much better. The creation of Darth Vader at the end is really well done, it is a moment of pain and death for him and for his wife but it is also a moment of birth that gives hope for the future.
This is one of the best movies of the whole saga. I liked a lot.
This is gotta be a win out of the prequels bar far, It's got the high ground like Obi did with anakin.
The climax from Star Wars Saga
Pretty damn good installment. Contains a lot of the fun of the originals, but concludes with a dark and serious tone, that it doesn't hold the punches on. Some really great action sequences too. I really liked this one. My favorite of the prequels.
La acción comienza con la persecución del general Grievous de la sección separatista quién ha secuestrado a Palpatine. Obi Wan y Anakin llegan a la nave dónde se encuentra el rehén y ambos se ven enfrentados al Conde Dooku siendo Anakin quien logra aniquilarlo, sin embargo Grievous logra escapar. De regreso en la capital Anakin se entera que Pádme esta embarazada y empieza a tener sueños premonitorios sobre su muerte al momento de dar a luz. El consejo Jedi niega a Anakin la opción de volverse maestro Jedi, sin embargo lo admiten en el mismo por solicitud de Palpatine quién a su vez envenena la mente de Anakin contra el consejo y le sugiere la posibilidad de salvar a Padme por la vía del lado oscuro. Al descubrir la localización de Grievous Obi-Wan es enviado a acabarlo mientras Yoda se dirige al planeta de los wookies para ayudarles contra una invasión droide que están sufriendo. Obi-Wan logra acabar con Grievous mientras en el senado Palpatine es revelado como un lord Sith por Anakin pero este evita que sea asesinado por Windu y es convertido al lado oscuro siendo su primer acto vil el asesinato de los niños en el templo Jedi. Se desencadenan los eventos de la orden 66 siendo Yoda y Obi Wan los únicos en sobrevivir aparentemente. Anakin es enviado a Mustafar a acabar con la facción separatista. El senador Organa da la alerta contra la purga Jedi y se reúne con Yoda y Obi-Wan quienes planean acabar con Sidius y Anakin respectivamente. Yoda no logra vencer a su oponente y tiene que escapar mientras que Obi-Wan con la ayuda de padme logra localizar a Anakin y se da el combate entre ambos resultando vencedor Obi-Wan. Padme da a Luz a Luke y a Leia y Anakin es rescatado por Sidius y convertido en Darth Vader. Padme muere en el parto, por lo cual Luke es llevado a Tatooine y Leia es conservada por el senador Organa, Yoda se va al exilio y Obi-Wan se va a vigilar a Luke en Tatooine preparado para recibir un nuevo entrenamiento de Qui-Gon desde el otro lado de la fuerza.
Lo bueno:
Un muy buen comienzo como es usual en todas las Star Wars. Es por lejos el episodio con los mejores enfrentamientos con sables laser, destacando la batalla final de Obi-Wan y Anakin. Conecta todos los cabos con la trilogía clásica.
Lo malo:
Algunas inconsistencias argumentales como son el cambio tan abrupto hacia el lado oscuro por parte de Anakin, el ataque suicida de Obi-Wan a Grievous quedando en una inferioridad numérica absurda.
Es una película que por si sola no se sostendría, ya que está muy metida entre las tramas de ambas trilogías
It's way better than the horrible I and II I feel bad for natalie portman, Padme did nothing in this movie. The fight scenes with lightsabers are the best and all the political conflict is handled well too. I point out the work of Ewan as Obi wan and Hayden a little bit less cringy that in episode II but still not my favourite at all.
Here's to Mr. Lucas for giving us all something spectacular to remember for our entire lives that embodies the whole point of going to the movies in the first place, to escape and lose ourselves in another world.
Best of the prequel trilogy, that doesn't make it good. It actually almost felt like a Star Wars movie. Unfortunately the movie turned to ass about the same time as the emperor's face.
Can be something better than story of rise of Darth Vader? No!
buy it: another great addition to the star wars saga

The lightsaber duels makes this one good. The writing should have been better than the Jedis knowing nothing of the Anakin and Padme relationship. I mean they did kiss in front of the Jedis during the arena scene in Episode 2.
While Anakin said to Obi-Wan a couple of times how he wanted Padme bad. Anakin turning to the darkside because he believed only that can save Padme. That the Jedis were the bad guys. I didn't 100% buy either.
Since how can he think something called the darkside is good ? The same way the Nazis or terrorists think they are the good guys I guess.
Ewan McGregor isn't bad at all but he was a choice for worse actor of 2005 at imdb that year. He was far better than Hayden. He gave it his all as Obi-Wan and has even been called miscast.
Ian McDiarmid however steals the show when he finally reveals to the Jedis that he is a Sith Lord.
I also like how Palpatine turned on Count Dooku in favor of wanting a new apprentice, Anakin. Since if you think of it; he did the same with Luke and Vader in Return of the Jedi.
He wanted Luke to kill his father and join him. It shows how little his apprentices mean to him since he easily trades them in when he finds someone more powerful.
