The movie grabs us from its heart-pounding opening sequence and pulls us inexorably along its trajectory with the grip of the last gruesome act of a Greek tragedy. Its fascination is not what happens but HOW it happens.

The best Star Wars movie of all time. It’s not even remotely close either lol.

Only now can we truly step back and admire the full tapestry that it has taken George Lucas and his ILM wizards nearly three decades to weave.
Two prequels' worth of scene setting pays off in the politically resonant Revenge of the Sith.
Though it starts slowly, it lumbers toward greatness in the last third and restores him [Lucas] briefly to the top of his class.
The movie drags.
The general opinion of Revenge of the Sith seems to be that it marks a distinct improvement on the last two episodes, "The Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the Clones." True, but only in the same way that dying from natural causes is preferable to crucifixion.
The story about a very angry teenager who were manipulated by old man to become a very angry dark man who kills children, can be with his wife because she just does not understand him because he wants to save the world and her but she does does not understand his **** have finally gone to a Star Wars movie in the prequel Sega I enjoy and it's in a fun way. I think the acting actually works because they are acting really over the top. I mean unlimited power. It's so awesome how overacting they **** the look of the movie doesn't take me out of it. I actually think it looks competent now and it looks fine today.I mean so much Horrible s*** is happening in this movie and it's kind of believable because Anakin have been manipulated so much in the earlier movies that I can totally believe that he will do all of this for love.I like his relationship with Obi-Wan I like all the scenes all the different actors it finally feels like they all comfortable being on green screen all the **** the last part of the movie with the action goes so over the top that it's marvelous it really felt like they were trying to overdo what they didn't the first movie with the end scene.

A big step up for the prequels. I do wish the lines were better and the acting were better. Hayden and Ewan's fight at the end wasn't as emotional as I remember cause their delivery is just rough. Hayden just **** in general, but Ewan didn't have much to work with cause I guess George is a bad director.

STAR WARS EPISODE III REVENGE OF THE SITH is a bad movie. the plot is bad but not as bad as Episode II's plot and the characters are just as bad as they were. Star Wars the prequel trilogy is a big insult to star wars and sci-fi fans clearly no love or thought was put into these movies.

The Star Wars prequels are pretty much the same in quality: they are god-awful. However, this one is the "best" out of all of them, I guess, because it's the only one that felt like the missing chapter of the franchise and the one that finally explains the backstory of Darth Vader that actually matters.
As a Star Wars movie fan, I give it praise for the action scenes and lightsaber duels, they are great and are moments fans wanted so much, like the fight between Obi Wan and Anakin or the fight between Yoda and the Emperor, they look really fake (More on that later) but at least the great score makes them exciting.
As a movie, this is AWFUL. Seriously, the acting, directing, cinematography, visual effects, writing almost every single aspect is BAD!
The acting is awful, it's extremely cheesy, melodramatic, cartoonish, I mean, the lead (Hayden Christensen) is an awful actor and Natalie Portman, Samuel L Jackson and pretty much every other actor (except Ewan McGregor and Ian McDiamird who tried) is just bad.
The directing and cinematrography are just mediocre.
The writing, oh my god, the writing. Who turned Star Wars into a melodramatic middle school play!? You might say that's the point but it's not! The original Star Wars and Empire had good writing! Seriously the dialogue is so bad, it's corny, it's cheesy, it's dumb, it's hilarious and total cringe at times (Remember Darth Vader's "NOOOOO"? That's supposed to be a sad moment but that writing made me burst out laughing). I swear to God, you need to watch this to just make fun of how horrible the dialogue is.
It's full of clichés, Ankin and Padme have no chemistry, their romance feels forced, it has tons of plot holes and incoherences and tons of things that are contradicted in the original trilogy (like how the hell did Obi Wan aged so much in just 19 years, don't come up with some explanation from the comics or anything, I want logical explanations in the Star Wars movie canon), and a lot lazy writing (Like ohhhh so C3PO got his memory erased so that's why in the original trilogy he doesn't remember that Anakin created him, how convenient, right?).
Not even the visual effects are good: Star Wars is a franchise known for its outstanding innovation in visual effects, but here, genius filmmaker George Lucas (Ha,fun fact: the best Star Wars movie wasn't even directed by him) decided to use CGI heavily and as a result, this movie hasn't aged well. I swear to god that when watching this I'm just "why not just make the actors CGI too? They're pretty much the only thing that's not CGI. The visual effects haven't aged well and as a result it looks like a Playstation game, how is it that a movie from 1977 has more convincing effects than a movie that came out in 2005?
What a terrible movie, I mean I don't review the other two (Phantom and Attack of the Clones) because I'll say pretty much the same (except in Phantom I'll just add the worst comic relief in cinematic history, you know who it is and if not, you must be a Star Wars fanboy). Seriously, those who give this a 9/10 or 10/10 must be Star Wars fanboys, like, guys, open your eyes! Open your eyes and admit that this movie has more bad than good. Even The Last Jedi is better YES, I SAID IT, you wanna know why? Because at least that movie is better in almost every aspect I just criticised (Acting, cinematography, visual effects, writing) not the best in the franchise but at least better than these three prequels.
