Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

tomr-28618 This film is easily the best prequel. It has better acting and less cringe worthy dialogue, as well as better CGI. (Although there is still an over reliance on it). There are some truly good scenes in this film such as the anything containing General Grievous who should have been included in Attack of the Clones as well. The action scenes looks somewhat more realistic with the use of CGI but they are also the most over the top action scenes in the whole franchise. It honestly becomes ridiculous watching Anakin and Obi Wan swinging their lightsabers around like a couple of circus performers. The argument could be made that the Jedi are in their prime here but there isn't any feeling of wieght or tension in these scenes so I really don't consider that a valid defence for the film. After all it's about making a great action scene, not making fan service to let Star Wars fans watch a light show of a fight. However the ship battles, planets, the alien creatures and most other CGi creations all look decent in this movie.There are some good dramatic moments such as the order 66 sequence and Anakin staring across to Padme usingthe force.Overall this film is watchable and I do re-watch it from time to time. The story is kind of interesting and as mentioned there is more to like here than what was in the other prequels. However it definitely does not compare with the original trilogy or the newer films.

DCfan This is the final from the prequel trilogy and is chronologically the third movie of the franchise.After the events of Attack of the clone and both clone wars cartoon (if any of you are/were following those). The senator was kidnapped by count dooku then Anakin and Obi Won go and face him to save. We are then introduced to General Grievous and his droid army.This movie was good at explaining Order 66 when Commander Cody and the clones were ordered to betrayed and kill the jedi and, when Anakin turns to the dark side and becomes the monster you see in the original trilogy. Meanwhile, Padme is pregnant and about to give birth to Luke and Leia. Out of the prequel trilogy this my favourite as had the most tear jerking and heart crushing moments.The only thing which never made sense was that Anakin says to Count Dooku that he hasn't seen him ever since he cut off his hand and he also says to General Grievous "You look shorter then I expected" where as in the clone wars Anakin is see in lots of episodes fighting Grievous and Count. I know the show wasn't thought of at the time but I think it's still worth mentioning.Have a good day everyone and may the force be with you.

anh-94946 I quite enjoy this movie. Though there are still some unbearable sets of dialogue, this movie works on almost all levels. All the action (except for 1 of the 4 lightsaber duels) is fantastic. Though I can't say Hayden Christensen is good, he's not terrible and has definitely improved since the last one, and all the other performances are great. For me personally, this is by far the most emotionally impactful Star Wars Movie. It didn't make my cry, but it gave me genuine emotion. And aside from a few odd green screen effects, the CGI in this movie is awesome. I really like this one. It gets an 84%

Robert Ayotte Revenge of the Sith has a special place in my heart. It came out in theaters when I was still a kid, and it was the one I probably watched the most growing up. I know nearly every line of dialogue and can recite lines on command. As a kid, it was probably my favorite Star Wars movie. But then, I grew up and realized that the movie has tons of flaws, sharing many of the problems that the other prequels have.It has become clear to me that many people really love this movie, claiming its one of the best Star Wars films, etc. While I agree that there are many aspects of the movie that are great, the film has so many problems that people are overlooking for some reason. Good movie? Yes. Perfect movie? Far from it.Let's start from the beginning. Revenge of the Sith has a gigantic opening action sequence, as Obi-Wan and Anakin try and rescue the Chancellor from General Grevious's ship. There's a lot here to like. Some of the banter between Obi-Wan and Anakin is pretty solid, considering there was none in any of the previous two movies. The lightsaber fight involving Count Dooku is very well done and way better than the one at the end of Attack of the Clones. However, the opening also contains horribly written dialogue, mostly coming from Anakin. The film attempts to have Anakin and Obi-Wan talk as if they have a great, brotherly relationship even though we haven't seen anything of the sort at all in the other films. There is a huge reliance on CGI here as well.Why is General Grevious in the movie anyway? We haven't seen this character at all yet. He is randomly and awkwardly introduced in the beginning of the film for no reason at all, just to die about an hour later at the hands of Obi-Wan. We are told nothing about this character, nor are we given a reason to care about him at all. The horrible dialogue from the beginning lasts throughout the entire film, especially in the dull and forced scenes between Anakin and Padme. The over-reliance on CGI is a problem throughout this film, and it has become more apparent as the years go on. When Obi-Wan is chasing General Grevious (who shouldn't even be in the film) on a dragon-reptile thing, it looks ridiculous and unnecessary. When Order 66 happens, it's very sad and well-done, but the Jedi getting killed have gotten virtually no screen up to this moment, so we have trouble caring about their deaths. One of my biggest issues with the film lie in Anakin's eventual turn to the dark side. It's so abrupt and awkward, as Palpatine randomly knights him as 'Lord Vader" as if he pulled the name out of a hat. Granted, the fight between Palpatine and Yoda is pretty badass, but the fight between Obi-Wan and Anakin goes on far too long. Its cool to look at with the raging lava and all, but it drags on for eternity, with virtually no dialogue throughout to slow things down. You should never be bored during a lightsaber fight, but here I was. And I'm not even going to mention the atrocious NOOOOO once Anakin is actually put into his suit.It may seem like I'm bashing this movie a lot, but I actually do like the film quite a bit. I just struggle to understand when people say this is their favorite, as it has nearly every flaw that the other prequels had.
