Plot Summary: After three long years of
relentless fighting, the Clone Wars are nearly at an end. The Jedi Council
dispatches Obi-Wan Kenobi to bring General Grievous, the deadly leader of the
Separatist droid army, to justice. Meanwhile, back on Coruscant, Chancellor
Palpatine has grown in power. His sweeping political changes transform the
war-weary Republic into the mighty Galactic Empire. To his closest ally, Anakin
Skywalker, he reveals the true nature of power and the promised secrets of the
Force in an attempt to lure him to the dark side.

- Who said they don't make 'em like they used to?
Revenge of the Sith is predictable enough. The
interest lies in the telling of the story of young Jedi Knight Anakin
Skywalker’s fall from grace. Everyone knows the ending. Interestingly, audiences
want to see how a good human being turns into becoming a wicked, mean-spirited
and mechanised dictator (see The Empire Strikes Back for ample evidence
of this)... more
Review By: Michael Larson
- Better than a cheese royale: buy one while its hot
This was a very good movie that could have been great. I
guess overall I am disappointed but that has more to do with my expectations
than the quality of the movie.
To me it had pacing and timeline problems especially toward the end of the
movie. The ending was really screwed up timeline wise and took what could have
made a much more powerful ending to go with the semi-happy ending.... more

5 Second Review:
Star Wars fans get ready. The wait is over. Non
fans won't like this movie anymore than they did the others. The best of
the first trilogy by far.
