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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Special effects, the visual part of the story.
Cons: George Lucas is still writing, poor dialogue, fast paced camera angles.

While I was still slightly disappointed, I actually enjoyed the first two movies in the series. Episode I set up the story of finding Anakin, how he bonded with Obi-Wan, and set-up the importance of the senate. Episode I was basically a child’s ...

Pros: Awesome special effects, good ending to an excellent story.
Cons: It took twenty-seven years to complete.

Senator Amidala: This is how Liberty dies, with thunderous applause. Directed & Written by George Lucas Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi Natalie Portman as Padmé Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker Ian McDiarmid as Supreme Chancellor ...

Pros: Yoda - Yoda and umm did I mention Yoda
Cons: having to sit with adults wearing costumes; some of the cast

Let me just start off by saying I am not some die hard Star Wars fan - you won't catch me attending the midnight showing of the movie in my Princess Leah costume. I am not here to debate if this is the best or worst installment in the series (but I can ...

Pros: Storyline; Outstanding special effects.
Cons: Dialog is again below par; Hayden Christensen!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away… So every Star War epic begins, and this one is no exception. I came into this movie with high expectations, after having watched the brilliant Star Wars Clone Wars adaptation of this ...

Pros: fantastic film, amazing special effects, good story and ties up the series nicely
Cons: bad attempts at droid humor early, horrible performance by Natalie Portman

note: this was moved from the 'Videos and DVDs' section to the "In Theaters" section My faith has been restored. I admit it - I went into this with the same hope that I went into The Phantom Menace and ...
