Review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) by Mark M — 06 Jun 2017

One of the best aspects of Revenge of the Sith is how it handles the dark turn of Anakin Skywalker. In the films prior to this one, we get some glimpses of what is to become of Anakin. I'm really glad the decision was made to have a much darker Star Wars film.

There's a lot of death and really emotional moments. This was the grand finale this trilogy needed. And it worked. The action sequences that appear throughout the movie are amazing. When you look at the action scenes in the other Prequel movies, save for the final duel with Darth Maul at the end of Phantom Menace, there's a common denominator.

They're only made to set something up, or to give the viewer some eye candy. The action sequences in Revenge of the Sith are very relevant to the story, and while there's no doubt that the climax between Obi-Wan and Anakin was made to impress, at least it played a big role in the conclusion of the trilogy.

Revenge of the Sith is, without a doubt, the best of the three Prequel films.
