The only worthy Star Wars film of the second trilogy

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2005)

After the pathetic Episodes I and II, Revenge of the Sith comes as a worthy addition to the franchise. It has a believable plot, good performances and the (wonderful) audiovisual effects complimenting and not starring in the film. It is utmost enjoyable, covers the plot holes from all previous films and leaves the viewer with a feeling of closure. I would go as far as considering this the deepest and darkest film of all six. If you leave your childhood fondness aside, RotS is definitely more subtle than the original trilogy. My only objection, we are still subjected to the love story torture, but it is definitely more bearable than the Episode II abomination. Finally, George Lucas is back with a vengeance (or is it a Revenge?)
