One Word........ Fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2016)

SPOILERS AHEAD!
This movie gets a lot of criticism it does not deserve.
1. The Acting of the this film is a lot better than the last two prequels, there is emotion shown when order 66 is introduced or when Anakin turns to the Dark side.
2. The dialogue is also improved in this film. It was terrible in the last two but it has been improved. There are a few lines with bad dialogue like Darth Vaders Noooooo at the end.
3. You can't blame the actors for being bad when the scripts they are given are no good. For example people hate on Hayden Christensen, however in his defense, who could act with that kind of dialogue anyway? thought he did a very good job of it.
4. This is the only prequel which isn't boring. The other two had too much politic talk and peace treaty signings, this film there were more battles and lightsaber fights. I really like the opening battle on Coruscant, the CGI already looks better than episode ll and it really shows you the war between the republic and the separatists. Next we have the lightsaber battle Obi wan and Anakin vs Count Dooku. I already think this lightsaber battle was a lot better than the one in episode ll. It is a lot better choreographed and and you really feel tension in Chancellor Palatine's voice when he says "do it" to Anakin when he is about to kill Dooku, it gives you a little hint of the emperor. After this we have the Obi Wan vs General Grievous, I think it was a good battle but a bit short and I also like the battle on Kashyyyk and Utapau. After this really it is Mace Windu vs Palpatine. I do not like this battle as I think the 3 Jedi at the start were killed way to easily and the battle was lacking pace. However I really like the scene where Anakin has to choose if he will save Windu or Palpatine. Then after this it is order 66. Love the idea. George Lucas explains in this scene how the Jedi were wiped out in the galaxy at Palpatine ordered the clone army, you can see Yoda's face and what he is feeling afterwards. The last action scenes in the movie are the two lightsaber battles at the end. Anakin vs Obi Wan and Yoda vs the Emperor. I think the Yoda vs the Emperor is a good fight we all wanted to see and we know why Yoda never had a lightsaber in the original trilogy as he lost it battling the emperor, it's a good battle but nothing compared to the other one. Anakin vs Obi wan is my favourite lightsaber fight not only in the prequels, but the entire saga. It has everything fast pace, action, emotion , flips , background and the music is stunning. Battle of the Heroes is one of my favourite Star Wars pieces.
5. The Plot. This film has a compelling story, I love the way Chancellor Palpatine just persuades Anakin to think he is ready to be a Jedi master and then the council don't approve, this frustrates Anakin and Palpatine knew it would. Then he does the same thing when he thinks Anakin should fight General Grievous. Every time Anakin talks to Palpatine, he starts to talk more about the Dark side, like when he told him about Darth Plagieus the wise. I love this quote "is it possible to learn this power? Not from a Jedi". Palpatine knows Anakin has fear about his mother so he lied to him about this power. I think it was a great idea, it really showed us the temptation and manipulation of the dark side. So After this Anakin kills Mace Windu and then he says "I will pledge myself to your teachings", the only part I don't like his transition the dark side is that it is too rushed. 9 minutes after he said this line he is killing younglings! Don't get me wrong I like order 66 and the Jedi temple March song, it really shows the republic's fall and the empires rise. The next biggest scene is the emotion from Obi wan after the lightsaber battle on Mustafar. The acting from Ewan McGregor is better than ever and really shows he was a brother to Anakin. The next few scenes are connection scenes liking 3 and 4, this transition works and makes perfect sense though.
6. So overall this is a fantastic movie Things I love: The Wars, lightsaber fights, the special effects, the emotion, the acting from Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan and Ian Mcdirmind as Emperor Palpatine, Republic's downfall and the Empires Rise, the Soundtrack (especially Battle of the Heores and Jedi Temple March), the Scenery, Order 66, Jar Jar doesn't have a line, the linkage form 3 to 4.
7. However There are a few flaws, Things that are not so great:
The dialogue in some places is a bit dodgy, don't mind the scenery but there is an overuse of CGI, Vader's transition is rushed.
8. Overall it is a Fantastic movie, my 3rd favourite of the saga below The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi
