    Emotionally powerful & supremely entertaining. Not recommended for younger viewers, being that this is a very grim & very darkly disturbing entry in the series.

    mmmm not really my favorite
  • September 26, 2009
    It's definitely better than the other 2 prequels, but I still like the originals better.

    The last half an hour is great viewing, the trilogies link up and everything makes sense. It has the right balance of dark dramatics, great action and pace. Christensen even just makes up for his terrible performance up to know in the last five minutes. Better late than ever eh! ...( read more)It's just a shame we had to sit through the 2 awful film that came before. Lets just leave it at that Mr Lucas!
    PS. Star Trek was always better!

    Best of the newbie flicks, more adult, darker and of course it completes the story arch, but best of all the action is great, loved the 'plan 66' sequence and most of the dark brooding fights and plotline :) finally a Star Wars film that compares to Empire in sorts.
    This is the ...( read more)best of the new trilogy for sure, its still nowhere near as good as the original three but its close. The acting and effects have all been tweaked to their best for this last film, the effects obviously being better hehe and the final part of the film does not let you down as we find out how it all fits into the Star Wars jigsaw, its not perfect but its still damn good.

Kurt Loder, MTV

Spectacular ... but it never really lifts you up into a new imaginative realm -- it never takes you away. It just keeps blazing at you. full review

May 22, 2005
Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness

Nominally better than its immediate predecessors thanks to a pervasive atmosphere of catastrophic doom. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Revenge of the Sith might be tolerable if it weren't designed to be taken seriously. full review

May 17, 2005
David Edelstein, Slate

What a shock when George Lucas finds his footing and the saga once again takes hold. full review

May 16, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

George Lucas has achieved what few artists do; he has created and populated a world of his own. full review

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

So much here is guaranteed to cause either offense or pain... full review

May 15, 2005
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

This is by far the best film in the more recent trilogy, and also the best of the four episodes Mr. Lucas has directed. That's right: it's better than Star Wars. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Drink the Kool-Aid. Wear blinders. Cover your ears. Because that's the only way you can totally enjoy Revenge of the Sith. full review

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com

A good film, but just not the classic it could have been. full review

    Better than previous star war films. The good thing is that it can be viewed with all family members togather. Provides entertainment and that's what we see movies for.
