what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

After George Lucas redeemed himself in a two prequel trilogy which it wasn't in accordance of various expectations, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith was one of the answers so it could be a rebalancing of the two prequels. Now, this is what we want. This is what we're waiting for how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, became one of the most phenomenal antagonists ever in any trilogy. This movie is also for the first time used PG-13 rating in which the whole trilogy used PG on it. For the first time, George Lucas finally able to make and go further into the story for an original Star Wars trilogy that has been released first. This time, Revenge Of The Sith gives a story which is so dark and all the actors and actresses also executed a very phenomenally performance in this movie. This is the final three prequel from the Star Wars trilogy and becomes a connection to the original story.It's promising that the first impressions seem to flow optimistically but slowly. However, the story will start to change little by little as the story goes. A movie which shows how the Anakin Skywalker character that's increasingly falling into the dark side and also the relationship between teachers and students, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi are the most uplifting. Of all the Star Wars trilogy, this episode, what I understand, is the most emotional, gloomy, saddest, and suffering ever. The development of the Anakin character which is more overwhelmed by its contrary perspective which leads to manipulation is well-developed. The conflict was more apparent especially the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin which was like a bromance thing but was ended in a grim situation. The Jedi Council, which was declared useless, finally got their consequences.As well, Obi-Wan who fails to become a teacher like Qui-Gon didn't succeed even though in his deep inside heart, he still considered Anakin as his son. George Lucas's effort to create a rich atmosphere from the story which was also actually complex suddenly changed drastically. Sure, this movie still has a point about political conspiracy from The Phantom Menace until this episode. But, this movie is about Anakin. The movie we want from the beginning. Palpatine as the manipulator character is one of the best and he is able to do so with various attempts at destroying the Jedi council from little by little until the chaos of his behind the scenes is one of the best. For some reason, this is one of the series that I think hit us harder more than anything because everything in this movie knows whether it's the characters or what it has and it brings out the most intense emotional surface. Sure, there are some scripts which it still feels awkward and cringes like in the previous prequel but this takes the cakes.A successful effort he made smoothly at the beginning became the most Star Wars prequel trilogy movie that was able to show all the scenes with full importance and meaning for the original story. George Lucas doesn't seem to just sit silently from behind the scenes because the visual effects are so magnificent from the beginning of the opening scene which is no less excellent than the original and visual effects shown on various planets. Even so, I still like the first opening in The Empire Strikes Back. There is a lot of memorable scenes which are the most recognized in this film, such as the final lightsaber fight at the end, the scene when Anakin and Palpatine talked about the dark side of the Force, Anakin Skywalker who turned into a psychopath, and Grievous as the cameo from Star Wars: The Clone Wars even though he became one of the useless characters but, why not? All choreography from fights and duel between lightsaber is well-executed perfect. It's like one on one duel who is dancing using the lightsaber but in an aggressive yet elegant style.Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi isn't too great and same as his performance in previous films. Hayden Christensen is so damn great at this movie. Regardless of the script that feels shallow, he shows an expression that is so brutal from someone who is hungry for the superpower and just wants to save his beloved wife in order to reach it, he does everything. Same with Natalie Portman as she's so different in this movie and not like the previous trilogy movies. Ian McDiarmid is one of the truly best at this point and of course, he is the one who acts the most important role of all the characters, from manipulating Anakin to showing the true origins. The visual effects of Yoda also look very nice and emotional in certain scenes with Frank Oz's support as the voice actor. John Williams is awesome in composing the scores. It's so brilliant and emotional especially at the end of the movie when it shows the birth of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker together is just one of the emotional scenes which have ever existed in the Star Wars trilogy.Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith isn't the best from all the Star Wars trilogy but can be said to be the best of both prequels. George Lucas bravely enough to step forward and organize a story which was dark and gloomy, various characters filled with various emotional and feelings. The visual effects aren't excessive, some cameos which have some small details are also not too swaying for the aspect. This film is able to give a clear impression and meaning to the original story and is able to make the most important connection.

It's a meh, for me. AT LEAST IT'S BETTER THAN THE FIRST 2 PREQUELS

Everyone loves ROTS, and don't get me wrong I love it too, but it's still a prequel with hokey acting, dated visuals and some bland characters. McGregor, Oz, and Jackson make the prequels worth watching, and as I said before this is a good film, but to say it's the best Star Wars film is a long shot for me. The prequels took focus from the stories away in favor of world building, but this film focuses back on the story and puts things on track to stick the landing. (albeit a little bumpy) This definently has some of the best sequences and scenes in any SW film. The Mustafar fight, Order 66, General Grevious vs Obi-Wan. As I said before the visuals for this film have become SOOOO dated it's not even funny, normally I wouldn't complain, but The Lord of the Rings came out around the same time, and this is Star Wars they are known for there Visual Effects. Hayden Christiansen's acting is bad, but I blame that on Lucas' direction, and Portman clearly just isn't into it (feeling more like a daytime SOAP actor, and yeah I know Star Wars is like a soap opera, but it's also a big budget blockbuster movie, so come on.) I prefer The Original Trilogy and The Sequel Trilogy over this film, but it's well made and I still get goosebumps when I see that mask draped over Vader's face.

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.
