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.

emipelaez I too was critical of Lucas' prequels, after all, how could you improve upon the originals; but after watching them again and taking my time with "understanding" what Lucas was trying to lay out as the foundation, I grew to enjoy "some" of the prequels (still can't stomach Jar Jar or young Anakin), and thoroughly enjoyed Revenge of the Sith. For much of the same reasons that TESB is my favorite of the original movies (seriousness, tragedy, and directing), ROTS is by far my favorite of the prequels, and sadly, includes The Last Jedi and The Force Awakens, which in my opinion didn't do anything for the franchise. The storytelling and direction in ROTS is top-notch and although people, I know, hate Hayden Christensen's portrayal of Anakin, I feel he redeemed himself and brilliantly portrayed a flawed character who went selflessly down the wrong path for a noble reason, his love for Padme. That path, told throughout the three movies, is evident and painful through his transformation because of the unknown, to fear, and ultimately ending in anger and madness in ROTS. Could it have been a better movie, possibly, but as movie afficionados, don't we all wish our favorite movies had been better in some ways? I think "fans" have wrongly, unmercifully and unapologetically trashed this movie unnecessarily, IMHO, of course. Again, the best of the prequels and infinitely better than VII and VIII.

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.

shubhamsrivastavalu This episode largely revolves around Anikan being of a part of the trap set up by the Lord Chancellor. The biggest reveal was that the Chancellor himself was the Lord Sith. The Jedi make efforts for ending the dark forces but the Chancellor manages to poison the mind of Anikan who turns towards dark forces with the bait of protection of Padme's life using his powers later. This part was a sharp turn from the earlier ones where are story seemed predictable but now Anikan makes the wrong choice and transforms into invincible Lord Darth Vader. The Jedi forces are largely killed at the hands of a treachery planned leaving only few like Master Yoda. The fighting sequence between Anikan and Obi Wan was breathtaking with unprecedented results. Interested to see how the Jedi reassemble to fight the dark forces.
