The Dark Side of the Force.

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2009)

Going into The Revenge of the Sith I knew what was going to happen in it already. However I did not know exactly how it was all going to happen in it. To be honest though, a lot happened in it that I did not expect and that helped out a lot.
Anakin and Obi Wan must rescue Senator Palpatine from the trade federation and General Grievous. After doing so Padme reveals to Anakin that she is pregnant. Palpatine starts to develop a unique bond with Anakin. Soon Anakin has bad dreams about Padme dying and learns that the only way to save her may be to join the dark side of the force.
I think that this film did a pretty good job of developing the characters. Anakin gets a good explanation on how he decides to join the dark side. However I always thought that he joined the dark side out of impatience and greed rather than out of necsessity to save his wife. Obi Wan is great once again and truly is a great character from this series of films. Yoda is awesome once again.
The villains are awesome in this film. Palpatine is so evil and manipulitive and truly one of the most evil people ever in a film. In a way Palpatine really is the star of this film, convincing Anakin to the Dark side and just constantly coming up with one evil plan after another. I also thought that General Grievous was really cool. He is sort of a cyborg droid that has four arms and an evil machine like voice.
What made this film so great for me is the action. Grievous's battle with Obi Wan, battle at Kashykk, Dooku against Anakin and Obi wan, and tons of other great scenes. This film in my opinion has the best action of any of the star wars films. Also the most lightsaber action which is spectacular.
Once again the settings are great. I especially loved the volcanic Mustafar Planet and the sink hole planet of Polis Mas. Once again the special effects were legendary and I do not think that they went too far with them as they had in the other two films at times.
TO be honest, I was sad at the end of this film. It was the end to a great series of films and I wanted to see more. Still, this is a great film though. Easily the second best of the Star Wars franchise and the best from the new series. Highly recommended.
