Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2 DVDs)

George Lucas continues his epic tale of Star Wars with Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. It is the sixth film produced in the series, and, although the newer 3 films are highly criticised in comparison to the original trilogy, this is perhaps the best of the new three. The Plot The young Anakin Sywalker, Jedi in the making, feels the force pull of the Sith even stringer than ever, and his struggle with making a choice between good and evil becomes harder. Follwing his fighting for three years in the Clone Wars, Anakin comes closer to the Dark Side without realising it, and puts his relationship with his mentor, Obi Wan Kenobi, at risk as well as his ...  Read the complete review

My flatmate saw "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith" a few days before anyone else I know, thanks to landing a ticket to see all six of the "Star Wars" films back to back on the Monday of the UK premiere. He came home raving about this film, saying it was by far the best of the "Star Wars" films and quite possibly the best film he'd ever seen. Both he and a colleague had booked the day of release off work so they could see the film at the first opportunity and yet another friend took advantage of a 1 a.m. showing on the day of release to get to it as soon as possible. They all came back raving about how good it ...  Read the complete review

So many promised aspects of this story thrown down the drain, wasted! Wookies - pointless, wasted. Why even bother? Death of Count Dooku - I seriously expected a darn sight more there! General Grievous, like Darth Maul, much promised, zero delivered. Wasted! Skywalker becoming Vader - I think I'll call you Darth Vader. Yes, Padme was pregnant but hadn't given birth yet so he wasn't a father. Idiot! This film ran way too long (2hrs 13mins from start of start credits to beginning of end credits), It threw us way too far into the deep end at the start of the film with a huge space battle that was ripped wholesale out of A New Hope (we've seen this before). ...  Read the complete review

I have butterflies. This is to be the last Star Wars film I will ever see. I feel a rush of adrenaline as the familiar titles roll up the screen and the now legendary score bellows through the speakers around me signalling Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith is about to begin. I can barely contain my excitement. Will it be as good as I hope? ******************************** I need not have worried. Episode 3 is a cinematic masterpiece. From the rolling titles until the closing credits I was transfixed by this contrasting tale of despair and hope. Continuing from Episode 2: Attack of the Clones war rages across the galaxy. The Republic ...  Read the complete review

This is film that completed the job of ruining many people's childhoods. Taking the Star Wars universe and absolutely ruining it for future generations. The first film was hideous, the second ridiculous and so, everyone pinned their hopes on this film episode to redeem Lucas' superb franchise. The plot, in a nutshell is the final battle between the Empire and the Republic and Anakin Skywalker's conversion to Darth Vader. Sadly, the only character decently cast (perhaps this whole sorry saga) is Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan, bringing suitable gravitas to the role. Samuel L Jackson seems to just play himself and Hayden Christensen could teach Keanu Reeves a thing or ...  Read the complete review
