The best of the prequels and that isn't saying much. Still suffers from WAY over reliance on special effects and wooden characters not to mention a bad story but at least it FEELS like the Star Wars of old.
More Star Wars: Episode III - Reven... reviews
The end of the war is near; The Galactic Republic is in total disarray the Galaxy is being torn in two by the ensuing conflict on every front. In the midst of the Clone Wars Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker is grappling with his feelings for his wife and his friends and his desires for more power. But little does Anakin know is that he is part of a much larger plot, a plot that has been in the making for ten years, a plot to destroy all that is … more

Flashy and fun finale to the maligned prequels. Cuts down on the yakking and closes things up cleanly with little fussing from Anakin.

Almost everyone loves Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. I think it mostly comes from the idea that the first two movies just weren't that great and so by then audience expectations was so low that the third movie could've been Anakin sitting on a toilet for two hours and it STILL would've been better than the first two movies.

The stretch for me from Episode I to Episode II was painful. I really enjoyed Episode I as nice light entertainment and waiting to see what surprises we would see. After Episode II I couldn't care less. The movie was painful, wooden, uncreative and stuck us with a pretty boy who whines and cries throughout most of the movies run time. That three year span was left with almost no anticipation. Episode III made me want to reinvest in Star Wars again. Th … more
