Review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) by Barney O — 13 Dec 2015
WHAT I LIKED: Lucas knows what he wants here - 'Revenge of the Sith' has much more direction thanks to a plot that ties everything up really well. It's also very dark, thanks to some exciting characterisation and the music that adds so much to this film. 'Revenge of the Sith' is probably the best it could have been considering what it was left to work with, saved by (mostly) great acting, amazing action scenes, and the whole last 40 minutes which are just spine-tingling in comparison to anything in the other prequels.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: It's still bogged down by petty politics and average writing. And like all the prequels it still suffers from being pretty dragged out too.
VERDICT: A memorable and moving Star Wars prequel finally worthy of a place in the trilogy.
