Embarrassing that myself and so many others initially thought that hey, this one wasn't that bad! It's because the last scene is the ONLY one in the entire prequel trilogy that actually felt like Star Wars, leaving you with a little afterglow after the shit trough that preceded it. A handful of points for McDiarmid chewing scenery so hard he opened up a portal to the Evil Dead universe.

Certainly the best of the new trilogy. I just actually watched them in succession and the awfulness of the first two make this one seem a lot better, maybe then it actually is. Great action sequences and a fantastic montage of the Jedi being killed. Anakin's decent into evil is believable and tragic. Complaints would be some instances of terrible dialogue, the "hold me" line for example. The performances are generally good, but are not as good as they should be. All in all third best Star Wars.

Way to make Darth Fucking Vader look like an emo douchebag. George Lucas, how could you fuck up STAR WARS?

While the most interesting film of the new trilogy, Hayden Christensen's acting could be compared to watching a block of wood. These films were better left un-made.

When the Vader frankenstein "noooo" scene came around there were audible snickers in the theater I was in. Despite being pretty shitty the prequels had a certain charm about them because of the strength of the mythos had grown larger than the films had. I suppose it is possible to throw enough special effects and eye candy that you can ignore the terrible writing since I did watch it again on dvd. It's also undeniable that Lucas is incapable of interpreting his own creation.

Awful dialogue and performances aside this is a satisfying end to the Star Wrs Saga.

I can only watch Hayden Christiansen whine for so long.

A pretty bad ending to what was a pretty bad trilogy.

Starwars movie, have to watch in order or 456 then 123.

(after repeated viewing) Shares the same strengths and weaknesses as the 2nd one, it's just slightly better and less painful to sit through. It's still a far cry from the original classic trilogy. Lucas wouldn't know a proper dialogue if it crawled up his ass and died.

I love all Star Wars and they did a great job on this one. The first two aren't so great, but what can you do? Lucas lost his mind.

Serinin son filmiyle beraber konuyu bagladik ve rahatladik. Artik Episode VII gelir mi acaba diye beklemekteyiz.

Better than Episodes 1 and 2 but ultimately flat.

"Lord Vader... rise."

Just as good as the original trilogy, if the original trilogy didn't have character development, coherent plot, good acting, live action effects, and an imaginative setting.
