The script, though, was almost laughable, and the cast members whose names I did not mention were not especially good in their performances.

If you've ever thought: "Hey, I really like star wars, only, I wish they had worse actors, poor character development, and made it look like a cheap saturday morning cartoon show" Then this is the movie for you.
The best thing about this movie: MacGregor as Obi-Wan. He's just plain cool. Yoda's great too, and McDiarmid as Palpatine is good and wicked. It really annoyed me how Mace Windu was so easily killed.

Yoda's great too, and McDiarmid as Palpatine is good and wicked. It really annoyed me how Mace Windu was so easily killed. Anakin was pretty well developed I guess, there could have been more to push him over the edge, but Christensen's performance was definitely better than in Clones. And the lightsaber fight is epic, not as intense as the one from Phantom Menace though. Shame how they wasted the wonderful James Earl Jones in this film though-- "NOOOOOOOOOOOO"?? Really??
LOVE Star Wars- i don't care if u call me a nerd, it's awesome!!! and so was this movie.the earlier ones were better, though.

Spectacular ... but it never really lifts you up into a new imaginative realm -- it never takes you away. It just keeps blazing at you.full review
Nominally better than its immediate predecessors thanks to a pervasive atmosphere of catastrophic doom.full review
Revenge of the Sith might be tolerable if it weren't designed to be taken seriously.full review
What a shock when George Lucas finds his footing and the saga once again takes hold.full review
George Lucas has achieved what few artists do; he has created and populated a world of his own.full review
So much here is guaranteed to cause either offense or pain...full review
This is by far the best film in the more recent trilogy, and also the best of the four episodes Mr. Lucas has directed. That's right: it's better than Star Wars.full review
Drink the Kool-Aid. Wear blinders. Cover your ears. Because that's the only way you can totally enjoy Revenge of the Sith.full review
