Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Can't agree with this review. Usually I feel all your reviews are spot on but not in this case. Revenge of the sith was a very good movie not great but not bad at all.

This movie is easily the dumbest of the prequels.

Anakin is at first willing to join the emperor because he says he can save people from death, without being given any evidence that he can actually do this. Then Palpatine admits he doesn’t know how, but they can try to find out, and Anakin still joins him and tries to kill all his friends. How dumb can you be?

The novelization of this one is so good that it actually made me give this movie more credit than it deserved for a while. Watching it again a year ago fixed that.

Glad you raised Stover's novelisation, which introduced me to his fantastic talent. The tragedy of the prequels was that there was a great story in there (far more than in the originals, which are effectivey every hero story for the last 2 thousand years, but in space) if Lucas had let someone who knew how to write take care of it.

More or less agree, I was not a fan of any of these movies.

However, I only recently took a stab at the animated Clone Wars cartoon (the one you refer to).

It is excellent in my opinion, and fills in some much needed story and character development provides weight to the third film. Highly recommended even for people (like me) who thought the Star Wars Universe had nothing left to offer them.

To the first anon: If you disagree with this review, could you put foward an argument as to why you think it's "good". You haven't put forth a good case as for why this movie should be considered good.

We can only hope that if the new Star Wars films prove successful, the prequels might one day be remade by film makers more talented than Lucas. We can but dream. - Ian
