Better than most give it credit for., 2010-07-14
br / Yes Revenge of the Sith has its flaws as do all the Star Wars films. First, unlike some I think the acting is subpar in this film, the dialogue is anything but perfect, and at times it seems forced. Why do I give it four stars? Because what it does well makes everything else easily forgiven. br / br / First, the evil Darth Sidius is the best part of this movie. He clearly is the villan that has started the clone war, is manipulating the war from both sides, and (at least for me) perfectly portrays a politician who is hungry for power. Anakin Skywalkers transformation into Vader for some is unbelievable, and I can see why one might have issues with it. However, it is how Darth Sidius manipulates Anakin into believing that he can save his love if he joins the dark side. Further, it is how Sidius manipulates Anakin into believing that he truly is the benevolent one that is probably the most compelling performance of the film. br / br / I found things in this film that can reflect real life which is probably why I enjoyed it so much. First, you have a crooked politician who started the war and is running/leading it from both sides. Second, This same politician (darth sidius) easily manipulates the populace and in the end has them cheering for their own enslavement. Plus I found Darth Sidius very compelling when he stated, "Execute order 66" to have the republic army (who the Jedi were working for) murder the Jedi. He than had Darth Vader kill the Viceroy who were helping Sidius run the droid army on the other side. Just like crule dictators like Stalin or Hitler, Sidius murders those that helped him rise to power. The scene where the lead viceroy of the droid army looks at vader and says, "but Darth Sidius promised us peace" only to have Vader slice him in half with his light saber immediately after makes one think. One has to wonder if Lucus took history as a blue print for this film.

Great Episode - But not for young kids, 2010-06-24
This is my favorite of the first three Episodes of Star Wars. That being said it is not for young children - is disturbing when you see Anakin transform into Darth Vader. br / br /I usually don't watch the extra features but I did watch the ones on this DVD and there were a lot of cool behind the scenes footage on all the people involved in making the movie - very cool!

Dark, just my style, 2010-06-21
Star Wars fans rejoice: a prequel that's actually good! I went into this film skeptical because Episode I was mediocre and Episode II was absolutely terrible, but I was pleasantly surprised by how awesome this one was. The plot engages the viewer in it's twisted coils of political conspiracy and strained relationships, and the action sequences really give you a rush of adrenaline. It's true, as many other reviewers have pointed out, that the dialogue isn't always the best, but for a Star Wars movie it's up to par. I also liked the special features on this DVD set. The commentary gave a lot of interesting insight into the making of the film and into the very creative mind of George Lucas, and the documentaries on the second DVD gave me an appreciation for just how complicated a film it was in terms of the special effects and stunts.

FANTASTIC, 2010-06-04
Thank you for making my day, I had ordered all of the star wars so I have all six and I sent the day watching them in order and it was great to see how every thing got started all the way to the end of return of the Jedhi. Thank you for getting me all of them together.
