George Lucas draws the Star Wars film series to a close with this dark sci-fi adventure which sets the stage for the events of the first film and brings the saga full circle. After a fierce battle in which Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and Anakin (Hayden Christensen) join Republic forces to help free Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) from the evil Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) and his minions, Anakin is drawn into Palpatine's confidence. Palpatine has designs on expanding his rule, and with this in

A grave and vigorous popular entertainment, a picture that regains and sustains the filmic Force [Lucas] dreamed up a long time ago, in a movie industry that seems far, far away.
Lucas is a brilliant technician but a poor philosopher, and his lurchingly thought-out rendering of futuristic politics prevents the entire series from achieving the greatness to which it aspires.
.. even though Revenge is a better experience than Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones, it doesn't add anything that satisfying or compelling to the big picture.
Not far into the first third of the movie, I didn't think I was going to make it all the way through the percussive nonstop action.
Lucas has woven into the action and effects a relatively thoughtful story about a young man meant for greatness but corrupted by his own fear and confusion, a story more Shakespearean than Arthurian.
If you've seen the others, you'll want to see this one. Let's face it -- there's no turning back.
The bar has been set so low in mainstream Hollywood movies that it's not even worth seriously analyzing this stuff
As the finale approached, I just didn't want to leave my seat, because that meant it's all over...supposedly.
Lucas slips up on a few fronts en route, but doesn't disappoint when it counts.
Of course, being best Star Wars film since Empire Strikes Back isn't saying much, when you consider what came between...
Anakin Skywalker begins his journey to the Dark Side.
This one had the most potential, and in that way it is the most disappointing.
A fitting capstone on a collection of screen classics for the ages!
The only one of the trilogy that actually works as both a good Summer movie and a solid sci-fi movie in its own right.

The best-looking Star Wars episode of all, if not the most exciting, most imaginative or most affecting.
Rich in cityscapes and costumes.
The film's spectacle, on the other hand, is utterly enthralling from its first image to its last.
For me, Sith succeeds in providing a satisfying ending to the films while also closing a chapter of my own life.
It did what I thought was impossible after the previous two films: it made me a Star Wars fan again.
The truth is, if Revenge of the Sith has an appropriate Biblical counterpart, it is in Revelations. This is apocalyptic filmmaking at its most artistically shattering.
The worst of all the Star Wars movies. Hayden Christensen, on his third Star Wars movie, still sucks. The completion of the birth of Darth Vader is lacking.
