Review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) by Sam O — 01 Mar 2018

I remember seeing this as a kid and actually not liking it as much as 1 or 2 strangely enough, but looking back this definitely one of the best star wars films ever made. I would only consider 4 or 5 above this one.

Gone is the stale dialoge and boring characters of the first 2 films. The characters are full of personality and their thoughts and motives become increasingly palpable as the movie goes on. The treachery of the emperor, the suspicions of the jedi and the turmoil within Anakin make for an excellent, suspenseful story.

The deep story is complemented by the engaging action scenes and cool villains. The emperor is ruthless, Anakin becomes deranged and who could forget General Grevious? Admittedly he wasn't super developed, but he looked pretty damn cool in the action scenes.

The only real flaw that burdens the whole movie is that while watching them in the order they came out you already know how the movie is going to end. The movie really draws you in though and leaves you constantly wondering how though it will happen. Also the child killing scene was unnecessary. Seemed a little too cruel for just becoming evil.
