Best Star Wars Prequel, on Par with the Originals

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2017)

Revenge of the Sith is definitely the best prequel. It fixes almost all mistakes done through the first two movies. This movie is emotional, dark, well-driven, and the story is excellent. Anakin Skywalker is a complete step-up from the character he was in Episode II, it almost feels like he's another character. Hayden's modified acting makes Anakin a protagonist you can understand, encourage, and stand with. A weak character, however, was Padme, at times she felt unneeded and filler, even though she should be an essential point in this movie. The antagonist is perfect. He is well-driven, motivated, and is basically a mastermind. The way the movie's tension increases as we progress is incredible, all the way leading up to the final confrontation, which is also a masterpiece. The CGI is also a minor weakness, but doesn't necessarily ruin the viewing. While you might find yourself bored at times, the end result is a powerful, fun, and emotional conclusion to the prequel trilogy.
