A final prequel that I believe does it well

Rating: 7/10 (9 August 2014)

Star Wars: Episode III-Revenge of the Sith is the final Star Wars prequel and one that in my opinion, brings around a fine end to the modern films too. Some may disagree but compared to the first two which I actually didn't dislike, Episode III is a good tip top movie and we really delve into the franchise at a heightened emotional level. With things such as improved acting, effects and even writing(well possibly), I couldn't take my eyes off and found the film to be solidly a good one, and here below is why so.
The story is on an epic scale of fantasy film and we get a massive movie that culminates brilliantly. It has tense moments but also the funny parts and for anyone watching it first time, it isn't such an easy movie to predict. I liked the way it played out and when any fighting is involved it never seems too long or too short, they get it done in the right amount of time as so we are not bored by it all. The ending is a real great ending to set up Episode IV and not to spoil anything here, but it plays out also real well.
I found that although he doesn't do that well, Hayden Christensen actually improves a little here and really tries to mix Anakin's feelings around and it comes off well. Ewan McGregor comes back again strong and yet again he has a firm hand on his role as Obi Wan, Natalie Portman finishes off OK and this is as with Christensen, her best film of the three. It has some great characters in this one and things like General Grievous may annoy some fans, but I will say he adds a lot of daunting evil to the pot.
George Lucas puts in a better shift on his last Star Wars film and his writing is just ever so slightly improved, direction is also done very well and the fight choreography is done wonderfully as well. I said about improved effects and it is true, this was made for 2005 and the effects can seem a bit dated now if we watch but for then they were great and yet again Star Wars pushed the boundaries of special effects. The cinematography is beautiful for some too even if it is used on effects.
The script isn't air tight and has little niggles in there, mostly to be fair to do with Anakin as he and Padme have very little chemistry. It could be very much said that the middle part is a bit rushed and seems as if Lucas is desperate to get to his big ending, the story is strong but is a bit fast. One last criticism is the acting as a whole, Anakin in all three has been poorly portrayed to say he is so major and it's a real disappointment he is hard to connect with.
I feel this one should, and I repeat should bring the Star Wars originals and prequels to a round circle and finish it off with at least a bit of style. Some may very much dislike it as it has a few connections with the originals but not too many to annoy. If you are new to the series and seen the first two then this will probably make you feel as if Star Wars only gets better and better as this is massive improvement.
Overall it is Solidly a Good movie, I think at times it is nearly very good and bits are great, but in the end turns just straight good. George Lucas made them again, brought back the franchise to the fans and got both acclaim and panning along with them, but I respect him for doing it and bringing in a whole new generation of fans. Star Wars has a future but I think even in a while to come, Episode III will still be a worthy entry.
