Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 3D - Review Comments

The first one was boring. The only reason I could stand it was because Natalie Portman is freakishly hot. The second one was boring until it got into the fighting. This one was entertaining from the start, but nowhere near as good as "A new hope", "Return of the Jedi", or "The Empire Strikes Back".

So true. Sorry to see this huge franchise destroyed.

If you have your doubts about this story, I'm pretty sure the novelization will clear your mind to the point you realize Star Wars is a great franchise.

Really? Read the novelization? I have to read the novelization of a movie in order to understand the "complexity" of the film? If the film can't clear things up for me in two and half hours then it isn't worth having it cleared up.

Firstly, the novels were written before the movies. Secondly, the novel has indeed a better plot/storytelling than the movie, which is purely based on Anakin's actual transformation to Darth Vader and special effects, rather than background storytelling.

maurice-youre an idiot-the novels were not wriiten before the movies-they were written concurrently with the movies, based on Lucas's story-Lucas only wrote Hope-the others were written by other people-I read them all and youre wrong of course-

Brilliant technician but a poor philosopher? Dude, You're talking about George Lucas, not Michael Bay.

After the prequels they're the practically the same. Except Michael Bay has awesome CGI in his movies.

This is the worst episode of all... Even Michael Bay couldn't have done it worse.

It is an alright film, but the prequal trilogy was appauling from the start but because the story is better than the others and it links the two trilogies together, I think it is a good film.

The reviewer here is talking out his ass. The third movie was the best and was total redemption for the Phantom Menace which was mediocre. Attack of the Clones was actually good so if you don't like the last two then you're a complete whiner....something that people seem to suffer from these days.

I know this is six years post-publication, but I would have never written a review at the time considering I hadn't even graduated from high school yet.

Anyways, Mr. Tucker, if it didn't occur to you that both the Sith and Jedi codes, the philosophies that the two opposite sides are based on, are PURPOSELY fatally flawed, then you still haven't realized the point [theme] of Star Wars...

Let's say that flawed, dueling philosophies are the point of the Star Wars prequels. If that's the case, shouldn't the movies actually develop those philosophies in order to explain why they're flawed?
The sith and jedi philosophies are certainly talked about. But for all the duologue devoted to them, we learn almost nothing about them, really. All we learn about the jedi through the prequels is that they don't like emotions any more than they like conflict.
We learn that the sith (or Palpatine, anyway) believe that everyone should be willing to take what they want at any cost. That's a state of mind, or maybe a principle- not a philosophy.
