Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Darkness,

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2007)

Anakin Skywalker drifts towards the dark side and the cutesy nature of this new trilogy is minimized, easily making this the best of the second trilogy. Most of the scenes even have less light in them to add to the effect that was started in the second half of Attack of the Clones. The biggest thrill in this movie is watching Ian MacDiarmid slash his way through the scenery. He was given next to nothing to work with in the first two films, but he makes up for it here. then, there is the fight that everyone has been waiting for, as Obi-Wan and Anankin duel near a planet's surface as lave rushes by. Although, I'm still not sure why Obi-Wan couldn't finish off his friend. If he cared about him so much, why would he leave him to suffer? There is still a sense of the childish in this movie and Natalie Portman, while beautiful, is mind numbingly dull for the third time, but this movie nearly reaches the same heights as the weakest of the original trilogy.
