Not as good as the originals, but is close

Wow, George Lucas managed to redeem himself and this prequel series here didn't he? This film is fantastic, almost every complaint I had about the previous two films has been fixed, even Hayden Christensen's acting was okay at some parts! From the moment you start this film it feels more like a Star Wars film, that sense of adventure and daring has returned as you are plunged right into Obi-Wan and Anakin's new mission. The script has traded in the light-footed, mediocre script that was quite obvious in the previous two films, for a darker, more mature story line that works. In parallel with this is the improved acting with consistent performances all around, maybe not Hayden Christensen but at least it was better this time, elevated this story full of treachery and deceit and made it much more gripping. My other major problem with the previous film has also been fixed; the CGI is mostly believable making for some very interesting battle sequences.
Overall 'The Revenge of the Sith is still not perfect, but its damn close, the tight script, visuals and story made this one a pleasure to watch and gave me a chance to become engrossed in the story of one of the best film franchises to date once again.
