Stunning, impressive, thrilling.....ROTS delivers!

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2006)

The best of the prequels starts off with a stunning battle above Coruscant with Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi going to save Chancellor Palpatine from General Grievous.
The story is a lot better than the previous prequels, with a lot of action including the fights with Obi Wan and General Grievous, Yoda and the Emperor and the final battle with Anakin and Obi Wan, which was perfectly portrayed. The story kept on going from the beginning to the heart wrenching end, showing how Anakin and Obi Wan had become close to having a brotherly relationship, only for them to become enemies. How Anakin falls to the Dark Side is effectively shown, with Anakin's anger and impatience and how he was deceived by the Emperor because of his love for Padme.
The acting was superb, especially stand out Ewan McGregor (Obi Wan) who was perfect as a younger version of Alec Guiness. Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine) was great as the Emperor and Hayden Christensen (Anakin) is certainly a lot better than in the AOTC, showing the anger and impatience Anakin was going through. The acting has greatly improved since AOTC and all the actors seem to have enjoyed this film more than the previous two. The acting really stands out and just makes ROTS more enjoyable.
I think this is definitely one of the better Star Wars prequels. TPM was mediocre with a letdown of a story, AOTC was better and more action packed but with quite bad love scenes, ROTS really ends with everyone feeling like Lucas has finally done something better and made the film that we have all been waiting for, and it is immensely enjoyable - action, love, drama, more action, thrilling light saber duels and impressive special effects make up ROTS. This film is perfect for anyone, and is the one that all Star Wars fans have been waiting to see and it was worth the wait!
