A True Aristotelian Tragedy. Superbly acted by Christiansen.

Rating: 7/10 (11 November 2007)

Though certainly not on the same level as the original films, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith a great film. The film was packed with all of the things that make watching movies so fun- action, emotion, humor-its a blast. The film was engaging and thought provoking. The film is an Aristotelian Tragedy because it depicts the downfall of a basically good person through some fatal error or misjudgment, producing suffering and insight on the part of the protagonist and arrousing pity and fear on the part of the audience.
The film is well written indeed, but i believe the reason the film is such an emotional experience is because of Hayden Christiansen's amazing performance. He put so much heart into the role of Anakin Skywalker and I really felt as though I knew him, as though we were pals. As I watched him fall to the darkside, I begged him not to, I pleaded and tried to reason with him. In the scene on Mustafar after most of the battle has been completed and there is that dialogue between Anakin and Obi-Wan is the best example of the superior level of acting put forth by Christiansen. I actually got goosebumps when Anakin growled "I Hate You!!" That whole scene was just stellar.
Its a great film if you haven't seen this or any of the five other star wars films, you should.
