Revenge of the Sith - A Review/Opinion

[I, Brian]

It's hard not to see a generation gap at work here, with the younger audience being more forgiving, whilst the older generation seemed to have a greater sense of expectation with regards to the original works.

I enjoyed the film, but I also agree with the many criticisms stated in this thread. I felt Annakins descent into the dark side was mishandled and happened too quick. He is supposed to be angry and powermad, but I saw a weak minded, confused man, not the intelligent, yet impatient and impulsive Annakin becoming Lord Vader.
The end of the Jedi was also mishandled as I too felt their end would have been much more difficult and time consuming.
Too many loose ends and inconsistancies.
Overall, I enjoyed it with the fight between Obi-Wan and Annakin being one of the highlights.

Sorry to dredge up old wounds but I ran across this thread and have to disagree with a lot of these criticisms. I don't think Revenge of the Sith should have been made better, I think it should not have been made. A lot of the strength of the first three movies was that it had a wonderful backstory that was revealed a little at a time. "Darth Vader was once a Jedi who was seduced by the Dark Side". That's plenty of detail and motivation. I don't think that they could have made a film that would have told the back story well enough. Sometimes less is more and this was one of those times. Prequels that might have been OK would have been tales of the republic that dealt with previously unknown characters during the times of Parts 1-3.
