Review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) by Matt U — 05 Dec 2015

The final installement of the much derided prequel trilogy and out of them, Revenge of the Sith not only surpasses the underwelming last entries and is possibly ,in my opinion the best film since Empire Strikes Back.

Don't get be wrong though, the flaws of Phantom and Clones such as awful romantic dilogue, Hayden Christain's wooden acting and some massive continuty errors with the orginal trilogy regarding Anakin's motivation to become Vader, Padme's fate and the removal of cruical scenes that set up both the formation of the Rebel Alliance and Yoda discovering Dagobah.

However, what's great about this film is extreemly well done rather then just ok. The opening space battle is really entertaining to watch, Ewan MacGregor, Frank Oz and espiecally Ian Macdirmind give some of the best prefomances of thier careers, John Williams's score is scend only to The Epire Strikes Back as my favourtie Star Wars Soundtrack and the final 50 mins havve some of the best moments of the entire franchises such as the Jedi Purge, Yoda and the Emperor using the senate platroms as battering rams via the force and the final duel between Obi-wan and Anakin set on the Star Wars's version of hell, Mustafar.

Overall a much more satisfying film then Phantom and Clones, and despite still having a few major hiccups with the dialogue and the story, did manage to serve a fitting finale to a legendary series (for 7 years that is..).
