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).

The Star Wars Family Tree (click for larger image)
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

5.0 out of 5 stars The second best of the new., Feb 11 2007
By Maurice G. Tousignant "Gilvan Blight" (Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Still going through the series again.

Quickly: best of the prequels. Some great stuff here and some disapointing, still doesn't live up to the originals. 7.5/10

Summary: You know this one too, even if you haven't seen it. Anakin turns to Vader, the who, what, when, how and why. Also ties up a bunch of loose ends that tie the old series to the new.

The Good: definately the best of the sequels. It's much darker and there is a ton more action then the others. The end fight between Obi and Anny is awesome to see. The fall of Anakin is done well, though it does seem a bit silly that they made it all for love. Tons of great fighting including Kashyyk. The effects are even better in this then clone wars, and there is stuff they CGed that you would never think they did. The line "Good relations with the wookies, have I" will live with me allways.

The Bad: A few of the Palpatine/Anakin dialoges were drawn out a little to long. The lizzard thing Obi rides on his way to battle Grevious is just annoying. The acting though better then the other prequels was still bad.

The Ugly: The plot was just too contrived. There were too many things done to tie it to the other movies, and that got annoying. Things like C-3P0 having his memory wiped and given to Wedge's dad. The fact Chewbacca was there on the wookie plannet and was good friends with Yoda. Things like that, just stood out as annoying. The fight with Count Dooku and the later battle against Grevious were both lame, neither baddy put up much of a fight at all (especially Grevious, even though it was 'explained' in The Clone Wars).

Overall: the best of the three prequels, but it still doesn't live up to expectations. It was enjoyable but contrived.

4.0 out of 5 stars chapter 3, Sep 23 2007
By falcon "disdressed12" (canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
of the 3 prequels,this one is the best.Anakin is now a young man,very
close to the dark side.helping him to get there is supreme chancellor
Palpatine(Ian Mcdiarmid)a dark lord of the sith.Mcdiarmid clearly
relishes his role as he brings an intensity and believability that must
be seen to be believed.this is an Oscar worthy performance.the movie
does a fairly good job of tying things up,as the saga concludes.there
are,a few problems with the time line,of course,but despite that,the
movie works.what everybody was waiting for was the reveal of Anakin
into Darth Varder:so was it worth the wait?for the most part yes. the
last scene treads close to being funny,but stops just short.as for the
movie itself,the best of the prequels,and closer in quality to the
original trilogy. 4/5

5.0 out of 5 stars "Birth Of The Empire", Sep 1 2007
By Tommy Morais (Canada,New Brunswick) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
INTRO:After the first two prequels out of three,"The Phantom Menace" in 1999 and "Attack Of The Clones" in 2002,comes the final prequel and movie(at least for now)of the legendary Star Wars serie episode III:"Revenge Of The Sith".The first two prequels didn`t exactly meet fans of the original trilogy`s expectations and receved mixed reviews,would episode III share the same fate?Read on to find out.

After "Attack Of The Clones" we knew it was near,Anakin Skywalker would meet his destiny and become the evil Darth Vader in the third prequel,"Revenge Of The Sith".With this episode we would see Anakin`s transformation to Darth Vader,see why and how it happened,and much more making of episode III a must see movie as it holds the answers to many questions.

STORYLINE:Anakin and Obi-Wan must find and stop Count Doku and droid leader General Grevious who captured Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.After a succesful mission Anakin and the Jedi council are in disagreement over wheter or not he can become a Master Jedi,Anakin turns to Chancellor Palpatine(his interrest in Anakin,is a hint of who he really is)for help and he and Anakin develop a strong relation wich cause Obi-Wan to fear for the worst.Anakin has dreams in wich pregnant Padme,his love dies when giving birth,to make sure those visions don`t come true Anakin ask Palpatine for advice,who tells him that he can protect Padme if he joins the dark side...

REVIEW:Even after seing episode III once(Like i did in theater,but i own the movie),you could tell that it was a great movie,connecting the entire Star Wars prequels trilogy to the original trilogy,and giving a sense to everything.The storyline for one,is much better than episode I and II,the final lightsabres battle is epic,seeing Anakin becoming Darth Vader is iconic and nearly everything about this movie is excellent.

OVERRAL:Revenge Of The Sith sets everything in place for episode IV:A New Hope and the rest of the original trilogy,it all make sense now how it happened and if one thing,the prquels make the original trilogy even better movies.Its a great movie worth seeing.
