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).
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.
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

- Better than the the other 2 new ones, but still not good
Sorry, but these new Star Wars movies are loaded down with not so special effects, lame acting, and weak characters.I hate you George!

- They Really Did Save The Best 'Til Last
I cannot believe how impressed I was with this film, how well the writers wrapped up the whole Star Wars saga and put all the pieces together.
This was an excellent film, the best of the entire series. It inspired me to buy the latest DVD set which had the first three movies released and then reacquire the Clones film to complete my DVD collection of it.Now, I suppose I'll buy the Blu-Ray versions, if-and-when they ever come out.
The special effects were, of course, top ... Read More
Rating: - The darkhorse of the Star Wars series and definitely the best of the prequel trilogy
I am a huge Star Wars fan. The original trilogy films were great, and the first two prequels were decent, but not the same hype as the others. I saw Attack of the Clones in theaters with my aunt when I was ten. And now, the saga is complete. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) has grown into an accomplished Jedi Knight. When he and his former mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) rescue Chancelor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) from General Grevious (voice of ... Read More

- Lets make new ones without Lucas
This is a horrible movie. I just watched it (afraid to before now) and really thought it was horrible. I will just hit a few notes.
(1) Humor: Why are the first three movies so totally lacking in humor. C3po and R2D2 are still around. No comic foil there. What balances the drama in the first three movies are the funny jokes. Nothing like that here. In fact, the movies are way too dark... (why is everything happening at night?) no doubt a way to cover needless special effects.

Rating: - The only episode of Star Wars, never sold on VHS.
Since I own the Star Wars Trilogy and Star Wars Episodes I and II on VHS, I actually taped Star Wars Episode III on a blank VHS tape when Star Wars Episode III first aired on HBO back in 2006.Because, when it was released on DVD back in 2005, I didn't see it sold on VHS, since at the time VHS was starting to be discontinued since most movie lovers were starting to purchase movies on DVD and nowadays, sometimes on HD-DVD, BluRay, or any of the newer advanced discs for digital video technology that we'll ...
