So, the first two movies in the
Star Wars prequel trilogy were pretty rough around the edges, and not that great. Is
Revenge of the Sith the best
Star Wars movie? No. It is has its flaws, but I don't think it's a bad movie either. The acting, for the most is at its best in this entry of the prequel trilogy. Hayden Christiansen isn't spectacular as Anakin in this movie, but he definitely came a long way between Episodes 2 and 3. This movie also has the least amount of Jar-Jar (who thankfully doesn't even get one word). Naming Anakin Darth Vader felt a little rushed and underwhelming, but there are scenes that make up for that by having him be willing to do some pretty heinous things, all for what he believes is the greater good. Where I really think the movie suffers, once again, is George Lucas's writing (mostly the dialogue) and directing. The dialogue doesn't feel right, and George Lucas seems to have lost his touch as a director at this point. The final battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan is my favorite fight in the movie because towards the end, I can feel the weight and emotion between the two, and it works for me, which does show that at points some of what Lucas does with the story works. Yes,
Sith has its rough patches, but I still think it is an enjoyable movie, and I like the darker turn it takes.
