Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) - Movie Review

Well, this is a continuation of the previous movie, Anakin is still portrayed as a whining brat. At least at the beginning. At the end his temper tantrum is almost epic.

In this installment of Star Wars, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christiansen) and Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) are married and are expecting a child. Actually two children. They are keeping their relationship secret, as well as, who the father of Padme's children are.

The graphics are very good. I especially liked the event that Chancellor Palpetine (Ian McDiarmid) was attending when Anakin went to meet with him. Many of the battle scenes are pretty cool. I thought it was great that Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) was brought into the movie. The fight between Yoda (Frank Oz) and Emperor Palpetine was amazing, even though Yoda lost.

There are many scenes I liked, some of them I have already mentioned. But I will describe at least three more.

The first scene I liked was the scene in which Anakin and Obi-Wan are sent to rescue Chancellor Palpetine. Palpetine was kidnapped by Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) and General Grievous (Matthew Wood). Anakin and Obi-Wan confront Dooku. Obi-Wan is knocked unconscious. Anakin cuts off Dooku's arms at about the elbow. Dooku is helpless and on his knees. Anakin has both his and Dooku's lightsabers crossed in front of Dooku's neck. Palpatine eggs Anakin on to execute Dooku, and Anakin does. Anakin immediately regrets his action.

The next scene I like is the fight scene between Obi-Wan and Grievous. Some of it is funny, especially when Obi-Wan kicks Grievous. This was a stupid move since Grievous is a cyborg(?). In the end Obi-Wan succeeds in defeating Grievous by shooting him in the chest and destroying his heart. Yes, Grievous had a heart.

The third scene I liked was the fight scene between Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) and Palpatine. Palpatine reveals that he is well versed in the Jedi arts. Anakin comes in and attempts to help Windu bring Palpatine under arrest, but ends up helping Palpatine defeat Windu. This is the act that causes Anakin to become Darth Vader, but he needs to complete one task for Palpatine... Kill all Jedi in the Jedi Temple, including younglings. It would be this act of killing younglings that would kill the relationship between Anakin and Padme.

I give Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith 10 stars out of 10. What do you think?
