My main problem was that Anakin was such a tosser until this film ...I fiannly start to warm to him and he goes Columbine on me! I hated jar jar, the insipid gungans and how they were cartoons...give me puppets any day.Otherwise, the emperor's backstory was well done, the vistas were great...but I thought there was going to a Clone war, ie a war between Clones. Boba Fetts vs. Bobba Fetts in white storm trooper gear...it would have been awesome to see a 1000 Fetts fighting Jedi...especially after the battle between Obi-won and J-Fett...otherwise, the prequels could have been amazing movies.

I guess if one is to rate each movie, all six should be seen in order first.

[Qwerty]

You're right, Qwerty.  If Kevin Spacey had been in it, it would have been aces.

Yeah, then Lucas can spin-doctor something about them getting better the further into the story you get

I'm reading the 'making of' book right now for 'sith' and the amount of crap is hilarious. The amazingly high pedistol others put him on and the bs backwards way he does things making life hard, yet still getting results because people pander to him simply because he is who he is. Too pathetic to be funny in the end.

It's got some good pictures though

My main problem with the prequels is just not enough scenes/battles in Space.

Until Ep III they focused on too much of the politcal stuff especially in Episode I which we could have done without.

Good point. It was nice to see he deleted at least one political scene in Episode II.

Just saw it for the second time, and I still think it's great. You know you have a great movie when you want to see it again RIGHT AFTER seeing it the second time.

Here's how I rank all six SW films:
1. Ep. 5 (TESB)Utter perfection.
2. Ep. 4 (ANH)A movie you can never tire of. Needs no explanation.
3. Ep. 3 (ROTS) That's right -- I find it better than one film of the original trilogy.
4. Ep. 6 (ROTJ)Liked the scenes with Vader, Luke and the Emperor but didn't like the Ewoks. Also, the Jabba the Hutt scenes went on far too long.
5. Ep. 1 (TPM)Pod-racing scene is amazing. I think this movie's been savaged unjustly, as it comes the closest of the prequels to the fun, devil-may-care spirit of ANH.
6. Ep. 2 (AOTC) The absolute nadir of the series. Hayden Christensen is wooden and whiny (all the more reason why I enjoy his improvement in Ep. 3). However, it still has lots of good points; loved the battle between Obi-Wan and Jango (?) Fett and, of course, the lightsabre duel between Yoda and Count Dooku (sp?).

I saw it about a week ago, after finally giving in to the hype. Better than it's two predecessors, but I think it suffered from being basically in the middle of the series.

I kind of went away with the feeling of having watched an hour long TV show, rather than a feature film. The highlight was definitely Palpatine. His scenes with Anakin were very good, and Christensen didn't do badly at all. Ewan McGregor should have been digitally edited out. Awful. Looked like a homeless druggy picked up from the streets of London, and his acting was awful.

The scenes with Portman and Christensen were awful. And I love Portman.

The best bit of action: Anakin's / Darth Vader's legs being chopped of and the slow frying by the lava river.

Okay, it's DVD time!

According to theforce.net (my fav Star Wars site), on Nov 1 you'll have a choice of:

*Revenge of the Sith DVD single
*Prequel set (3 movies)
*The complete saga (6 movies)

Nice.

What do you want to bet we will all be watching SITH on on DVD players and still not know who will be Bond #6?

LOL Too true.

I thought the Sith was great for the most part, especially the fight scene between Anakin and Obi-Wan. The dialogue could've been better, clearer. Wish they would've developed the Padme / Anakin relationship better, but that's just me. Nice topless scene though.

Nice. Just the single for me.

[zencat]

Also for SITH lovers is the first follow-up novel: Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader

[SnakeEyes]

Just the single for me. I have the rest on DVD. Legal or otherwise (yes Han will always shoot first)

[Qwerty]

I own the 4-5-6 boxed set as well as the Episode 1 and 2 DVD's, so it makes sense just to get the Episode 3 DVD in my case.

[DLibrasnow]

Me too. I already have the episodes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. So I will be getting just the single edition.

[JackLordIsFelix]

Holy crap, are Star Wars fans ever vehement in their like or dislike of the prequel trilogy -- I've been on the Revenge of the Sith board on IMDB and have a whole new appreciation for the sanity and non-nerdishness of this forum. Too bad we don't have anything new about Bond to talk about!

[Qwerty]

Ditto.

Same here, although I reckon it'll be a two-disc set. Can't wait to see SITH on DVD on my widescreen TV.

Hopefully BATMAN BEGINS (which is reportedly superb) will also be out on DVD before this year is out.

[Righty007]

I'm going to see Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith for the third time tonight at 6:50 PM.

[General A. Ourumov]

I might as well buy the full six-set of DVDs. I don't own Episodes IV, V and VI because I hate the fact that they've been tweaked with, but I also understand that my VHS's wont last forever. I only own Episode II on DVD currently, so it's the whole pack for me.

I saw the famous ep. III in the cinema on the big screen, which is were all the great scifi movies should be seen.

Too bad I didn't see it on dvd. It would have given me the chance to take out the dvd after say 45 minutes and use it as a coaster for my soda and watch great scifi like Blade runner or episode IV to VI.

Rarely have I been so dissapointed, even if I braced myself for the hype. Now it is a fact GL has succombed to the dark side of directing. He basicly can't do it (anymore).    

In the rating of thumbs down I give it 5 out of 4.

I thought it was infinitely better than the other two prequels. The pacing made for an economical,tight film and with so much to tie together I think it was very well done.It was supposed to be a corny space soap opera ya know.

[Righty007]

I just saw it for the third time. I still love it! It's by far the best prequel.

Easily. A huge relief that it is.

Too funny...

Princess Leia Salutes George Lucas

[Righty007]

I love Leia's slave-girl bikini. That's one of my favorite parts of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi.

[Triton]

Too funny...

Princess Leia Salutes George Lucas

Guess it serves George right, he wanted a feisty Princess Leia.
Eureka! The real reason George won't make Episodes 7, 8, and 9. I don't believe George wants to hire these people anymore.

[SnakeEyes]

Mark/Luke could get away with an obi-wan style age appreciation as a Jedi master, but Carrie/Leia and Harrison/Han look way past it.

GL is a friggin old puffin himself tbh.

[rogermoore007]

All I can say is that this was a great end to the star wars series although it was quite depressing especially Mace Windu's death. But it always leaves you with the hope of episode 4 with Yoda, Obi-wan and the twins still alive. And I have to say that the best-played character in this episode especially and in the previous two was Obni-wan Kenobi by Ewan Macgregor. He was excellent.
