The best of the final 3 films, but Stars Wars and Empire still rule

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2006)

Revenge of the Sith was the best of the final three movies, but when I compare it to Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, it doesn't quite match those two films. I believe most people will agree with me on that assessment, but Revenge still delivers some goodies.
The action scenes are incredible and the visuals are stunning. With computer graphics, special effects have come a long way, and there's and ultimate feast of them in this movie. The action sequences are also top rate and some of the best I've seen.
Still where this movie slips is in the chemistry between Padme and Anakin (Christensen, and Portman). A lot of this probably has to do with some cheesy dialogue when the two are on screen together. I'm not sure, but neither one showed that love they share, which is what ultimately leads to Anakin's turn to the dark side.
The supporting cast was much better. Yoda is on screen much more this time, and with computer animation, he looks as real as the actors surrounding him. He is even given some character development that matches that of Empire when he was just a puppet. Ewan MacGregor, as Obi-Wan, gives his best performance of all the films, and seems to have enjoyed making it. Senator Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) is also strikingly creepy as the Sith Lord.
Overall, Revenge of The Sith was a very memorable film. It may not be as good as Empire or Star Wars, but it's slightly better than Return of The Jedi, the third film in that series, and that's saying something.
