Not to give it away but... Anakin becomes Darth Vader

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2005)

Remember when Attack of the Clones came out and you were thinking, "I really wish Anakin would shut up and Yoda's fight have gone for longer."? In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin shut up and Yoda's fight went for longer. Even the small amounts of humour of the other movies are missing from the final (sort of) chapter of this epic piece. This is due to the pulling out all the stops and just showing the dark side weave its cruelty. It begins with the Clone Wars and they are dark, brutal and well portrayed. For the first time, a ship is shown entering an atmosphere and you'll think that looks more amazing than any other effect because you'll forget it isn't real. Suddenly, you are in a galaxy far far away, a long time ago. Speaks like this Yoda still does, but his fight with Darth Sidious is the coolest thing in Star Wars. Two masters each balancing the other perfectly, each incapable of defeating the other. It is so good, the cuts to Anakin and Obi-Wan having their own duel is, if anything, a little reliever from the suspense. Too many people hated this movie before it was made and many more suggest that, of course, "The originals were better." In the case of the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, this is somewhat true, but not for this movie. For the fanatical Star Wars fans, this is the movie they always wished for and any fan who doesn't like it is not in touch with the Force.
