A half-baked conclusion to the prequels

Rating: 7/10 (8 January 2020)

Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith stars Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, and Natalie Portman, and is directed by George Lucas. And this is also the final chapter to the Star Wars prequels and what I enjoyed is that the team balanced Obi Wan taking Anakin under his wing into becoming a Jedi to Anakin becoming Darth Vader. But I do think that this could've been done smoother, instead of having felt rushed and forced to the point where they just want to show you the events leading up to episode four. I'm not saying that this is a bad movie, but if I were to describe this, I would call it a guilty pleasure. I will say that I will give everyone credit for creating a half-baked story in which the hero transforms into the villain. It may not be executed correctly, but at least they didn't turn Anakin into the dark side because he didn't get accepted into the Jedi council and wasn't a spoiled brat. He had his moments here and there, but at least unlike some movies involving the hero becoming the villain, he took a step back to reflect on his actions, and then later betrayed everyone. I always feel like the script writers are lazy when it comes to the prequels, but since this is the last one, they gave this a serious makeover to it, and sprinkled in some cheesy dialogue for the good old times. But what it lacks in script writing makes up for it in action and music, as those two go very good together like cookies and cream. Even if this film sucked I still would say that the music and those action scenes make up for it. So in the end, it may not be the final conclusion I was expecting, but at least everyone tried their best to give us a conclusion that ties everything together.
