Jackson Christopher Lee Directed By: George Lucas Running Time: 140 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY Rating: PG-13 UPC: 024543203094 Manufacturer No: 2230309 Amazon.com: 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).
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 The Complete Star Wars Saga

Average Rating:
 Rating: - My comments are more about critics than this flawed but worthy film - 3.5 stars1. Really, are there any spoilers? You should know most of this film going into it. I respected that Lucas knew that and still gave the audience an entertaining and sometimes surprising movie. That is to his credit. 2. I've heard people complain about the coughing robot, General Grievous, a fine character indeed. Yet the film makes it obvious that the character is alive, and so the coughing is not a problem. 3. The acting was truly a set back for Attack of the Clones and ... Read More Rating:  - The Merciful End of a Saga that I never wanted to see! Howard the Duck: where are you when we need you?!The only thing good about this movie are the light sabre battles; and even they have glaring flaws. Lucas has shown his utter contempt for his audience with these prequels. I remember well when he saw the line of fans who had waited years for a "star wars film" since "Return of the Jedi" and Lucas sarcastically quipped that the fans needed a life. A strange remark coming from a man making very bad prequels but who had many people willing to put money into his pompous pockets just to relive ...

I love the powerful scene near the end with Obi Wan Kenobi is yelling at Anakin after he cuts off his legs. Anyway, very good movie. And, as always, Yoda rocks. Rating: - Lucas finally listens to the fans.Finally, Lucas pulls it off. After the dreadful Clones I didn't go into the theater with high expectations. My fears were dismissed as soon as the opening saber fight with Dooku. Wow!!! He usually saves that for the end. LOVE this movie. Love it Love it Love it The Emperor finally gets the screen time he always deserved. He truly makes this movie as great as it is. The fight between Obi - Wan and Anakin? EPIC!!! The fight between ... Read More Rating: - "I'm Not The Jedi I Should Be" ~ Embracing The Darkside Of The ForceWith the release of the '05 film `Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith' it appears George Lucas got the message and delivers a dark, brooding tale that the older and largest portion of this fan base can finally enjoy. It's a wonderful journey that takes the viewer down the dangerous path awaiting those that allow themselves to be consumed by fear, desire, selfishness and obsession. While this film suffers from the same lame dialogue we've come to expect, the awe inspiring special effects and finally ... Read More |
