I thought this was good!

Rating: 8/10 (27 June 2005)

I thought 'Revenge of the Sith' was easily the best of the Star Wars prequels, but not as good as the original trilogy. However, the film tied up many loose ends for me. I had wondered how Anakin became Darth Vader, and this was answered spectacularly with the fight scene between he and Obi-Wan.
I also thought that Ian McDiarmid as Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine was good, as there was definite menace in his voice when he spoke as the Emperor/Darth Sidious. The special effects were amazing, and most of the fight scenes were pretty good.
The only problem, for me, was General Grievous. He was OK, but nowhere near as menacing as I had thought he would be. Hayden Christiansen as Anakin was brilliant. Overall the film was good.
