Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

George Taylor My favorite of the Prequels. The movies flies along giving us the fall of Anakin to the dark side. The end of the Jedi. The rise of the Empire. Order 66. Luke (he's the oldest!) and Leia. Great battles, including two of the best light saber duels in the entire series. This ends on a low note but is the best of the Prequels.

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.

topshelfmack Easily the greatest Star Wars film, All the events leading up to this movie has been an emotional rollercoaster. I still cry myself to sleep every night thinking about anakin's turn.

alexisbessonmackain I will try not to include any spoilers in here. First off, i am a huge star wars fan and watched the originals and prequels several times, with empire strikes back being one of my favourite movies. I will have to admit george lucas and his career are going down the drain nowadays but he had something that the new star wars films(with the exception of rogue one) could not beat: imagination: Positive: Lightsaber fights The acting is the best out of all of the prequels( though samuel l jackson feels out of place in this franchise, hayden christensen is sometimes unbalanced in his performance but his performance has improved) The visuals obviously No more jar jar binks moments(except for two brief appearances) The story is dark and one of the best stories in the star wars franchise since empire strikes back. Bad: some of the dialogue can be irritating A few unanswered questions(look at star wars the clone wars for answers)Overall, in the franchise if i had to rate this film i would rate it higher than the prequels(due to its darker tone and emotional stakes) but lower than the originals(there is no beating them) and higher than any star wars film that has come out from 2015 onwards(thanks to george lucas). i would like to thank Lucas for creating this franchise and ending it with a satisfying bang.
