Star Wars Episode III, the Revenge of the Sith (2005, PG-13): *** ½
The Revenge of the Sith is the film that completes the saga, and brings all of the points together, which would make it the most whole film in the saga. Even though the Revenge of the Sith can get action oriented at times, the characters are more developed then in the last two predecessors, even though Lucas still has yet to prove his talent as a screenplay writer. The film is dark, sad and hauntingly realistic, but the best of the trilogy. At this point, it is perfectly safe to compare the original trilogy with that the prequels. By way and large, the originals are superior in every way, but that doesn't mean that the prequel trilogy is horrible. I like to think of it this way: the three films comprising the Star Wars prequel trilogy are good movies, just a downgrade from the older films. But even if Revenge of the Sith is a downgrade from the original trilogy, it is still a serious upgrade to either prequel. Directed by George Lucas.
