Star Wars Revenge of the Sith Review

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2005)

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith is by far the greatest of the prequel films. It is also the catalyst for the sequel films which makes it even more great.
This film is exceptional in creating the emotional blackmail that is being used in Anakin's transformation into Darth Vader, hitting all of the right notes with Ian McDiarmid's superb acting and fabled Sith legends.
Revenge of the Sith is the ultimate film for any Star Wars fan. It features the largest number of lightsaber duels in any other Star Wars films, the best of these being Mace Windu vs Darth Sidious, Yoda vs Darth Sidious, and Anakin Skywalker vs Obi-Wan Kenobi. The best of these duels being between Darth Sidious perfectly evoking the powers of the two greatest masters of the Dark and Light side of the force. The duel uses an exquisite range of force and lightsaber techniques; this duel is perfectly complemented with the fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan and John Williams music score.
All this combined with the excellent space battles and chases and of course the excellent acting from Hayden Christensen, Ian McDiarmid, Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor and Samuel L Jackson form together to create one of the greatest movies of this generation and the best movie of the saga.
This film truly is a masterpiece.
