Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Pros: good balance to the film, more coherent story, Ian McDiarmid
Cons: wooden acting, inconsistencies, why the hell does a droid cough?

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... Well, okay, it was almost thirty years ago in a suburb of New York City that a girl finally got to see the movie that everyone was talking about at the local $1.50 movie theater. That movie was ...

Pros: Cast (Christensen particularly), SFX, plot
Cons: A couple of logic and continuity problems

Star Wars: A New Hope (Episode 4) started it all off, with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, rogue mercenary Hans Solo, and of course Chewbacca (a Wookie) saving the galaxy from the evil Darth Vader. In The Empire Strikes Back sees Darth ...

Pros: McGregor, McDiarmid, Christensen, good action sequences and supporting performances
Cons: Some story lines not adequately answered

When George Lucas introduced the "Star Wars" series, I was still in high school. During the time of the first three releases in the series, I heard the buzz that a lot of people heard. Lucas was going to make his franchise a series of nine films. Three ...

Pros: Better story, lightsaber battles, and spectacular visuals
Cons: Few inconsistencies. Uneven pacing. No explanation for some things.

I have been anxious to see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith since I first saw a trailer for the movie late in 2004. I felt that S tar Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and ...

Pros: Stronger-than-usual Prequel narrative; exciting action sequences; great score
Cons: Padme and Anakin storyline weaker than expected.

And you, young Skywalker, we will watch your career with great interest. -- Supreme Chancellor Palpatine to Anakin Skywalker, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Someday I'll be the most powerful Jedi ever! I promise you. I will ...

Pros: great action, great special effects, beautifully filmed
Cons: weak characters, problematic plot twists, no emotion

About 20 years coming, we finally have the last chapter in the George Lucas saga of Star Wars. Six films, billions of dollars made, and now we finally have closure on the Star Wars story. In actuality this is Part 3 of 6, after Lucas decided to make ...

Pros: The climactic lightsaber battle scene against Anakin and Obi-Wan is awesome.
Cons: A few weak acting scenes between lead characters.

Star Wars Episode III, Revenge of the Sith opened May 19, 2005 with early reviews giving this film more publicity than all of the force in hyperspace. While I consider myself a Star Wars fan, I'm not one of those hardcore fans that were willing ...

Pros: Excellent story and acting along with the usual great special effects
Cons: None

It is 3:16 A.M. and I'm reviewing a movie that started at 12:20. My wife and I joined literally thousands of people in little ol' Odessa, Texas to see a movie that completed the circle that started long ago in this same galaxy. In fact, I saw the first ...

Pros: Spectacular visuals, Anakin and Padme finally get real, ungodly lightsaber battles!
Cons: Sheeeeeeit.

It's hard to remember specific details. People gathered in clusters of five or six, a rock radio station was camped out right outside the movie theater, playing "Heavy" by Collective Soul. It was 11:25 at night. Oh yeah, and it was raining. After ...

Pros: dynamic, visually stunning, better action, more interesting themes, great bridge
Cons: some wooden acting and lines, the anticlimactic feeling of ending on such a downer

I went to a sneak preview of this film, filled with the excitement of a theater full of nerds allowed to roam the streets at midnight - and on a school night, no less. I also went in partly burnt by the spoiler reviews that care little about the ...

Pros: Visuals, plot, connections with Original Trilogy...
Cons: Violence, underused characters, the already-much-maligned-dialogue...

Last week's Entertainment Weekly had an interview with George Lucas where he basically admits that he screwed up with his prequel trilogy. After having the most successful movie franchise of all time, he made some severe missteps with the prequels. ...

Pros: Explains some things, Yoda looked great
Cons: The music was lacking, Anakin's bad hair

Star Wars Episode III – The Revenge of the Sith concludes the prequel trilogy to the original Star Wars trilogy of the late 70’s and early 80’s. It details all the events leading up to Anakin Skywalker becoming Darth Vader and sets up the ...

Pros: Vader's mask looks cool. Integral part of the Star Wars six-ogy.
Cons: The acting. And Padme gives birth the the HUGEST newborns ever. And they were premature!

Picture Darth Vader stretching his arms out and screaming "Noooooo!" when he learns Padme is dead. It takes a good actor to pull the ole' "noooo" scream off. Hayden Christensen is not. In fact, he's pretty horrible. That part would ...

Pros: just read the review
Cons: acting can be a little wooden, dialogue a little stilted.

I've been waiting nearly 23 years for this moment to arrive! 23 years spent sitting in front of a TV screen enthralled by the ominous character of Darth Vader and wondering how anybody could possibly get that damn cool. Needless to say that when George ...

Pros: better acting and dialogue, R2-D2, some emotionally charged moments, visually impressive
Cons: not all dialogue and acting was better, cheesy moments, not enough C-3PO

“Star Wars is the defining event of our lives,” my dad remarked to my mom on our way home from seeing Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. “The first one came out just as we entered adulthood, and the last one just as our kids are entering ...
