You know how I said that Attack of the Clones was an improvement over The Phantom Menace? Well, this one kicks both their asses and is the best of the prequels for sure. Like I have said in the other two, it's nowhere near as good as anything in the original trilogy, but its still an awesome entertaining finale to probably the best science fiction series of all time. Just when you thought that George Lucas had sold out completely and was just milking the franchise for all it was worth, he gives … more
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
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.
Best if the last of the "new" trilogy of Lucas prequel films. I loved the volcano scene, the rise of Vader and the birth of Luke & Leah. Also the most successful of the three new trilogies. It really wasn't that bad!
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. That's not to say Star Wars Episode III is really bad. It's just to say that it still feels like it's missing something. … more
There are a ton of things I could gripe about with Episode III. I'll discuss a few below. But by and large, this is the best of the prequels and, in my eyes, ranks pretty highly as a sci-fi film. First, the bad. This should have been more than one film. Rather than a whole film for the events in The Phantom Menace, the Clone Wars could easily have consumed a whole extra movies. Unfortunately, squeezing all of this into Revenge of the Sith means that a lot of important footage … more

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
I will provide this review in two parts; the first for the movie and the second for the DVD. First, the movie itself. The first three Star Wars (SW) movies were some of the most amazing, popular, and incredible movies ever made; so it would be hard for anyone to match them, even George Lucas himself. Yet after the disappointment with Episodes I and II, many were hoping for a much better III. Unfortunately, these hopes were dashed. Episode III does tie up all the loose strings … more
