Common Sense says Anakin moves to the dark side in moody, graphic sequel. Based on our expert review. Based on reviews. Add your rating. Parents say Kids say The Galactic Empire Begins This is the most heart-wrenching Star Wars film, and one that doesn't end on a very joyous note. It is at long last revealed that a Sith lord has gained control of the Senate, hiding right under the Jedi's noses for many years.
This movie contains some of the most epic fights in all of Star Wars. It is a truly phenomenal movie, the best Star Wars movie ever created. At long last, Anakin becomes the man he was destined to be, and the most powerful Jedi and Sith face off in a battle that will decide the fate of the galaxy.
Violence: Senator Palpatine's war with Mace Windu, and the electrocution scene that leaves him deformed is quite intense, as is the scene where Palpatine confers on Anakin the title of a Sith apprentice. Darth Vader Anakin goes to the Jedi Temple to slay innocent young padawans not shown onscreen but disturbing nonetheless. Anakin turns against Padme, force-choking her, his descent to the dark side fully complete by this point.
Anakin get his lower half chopped off fighting Kenobi, and is seen being burned alive onscreen with Obi-Wan emotionally destroyed at the loss of a "brother". Sexual content: While there is a scene of Anakin sleeping with Padme, there is nothing sexual about it.
They do kiss on-screen in one scene. Language: not applicable. This title contains: Positive Messages. Positive role models. This review Helped me decide 1. Had useful details 3.
Read my mind 2. Report this review. Adult Written by coolkid September 5, Anikan almost kills his wife though not graphically. Lightsabers cauterize wounds so theres no blood until the ending. Anakin is shown on fire and then in an extremely graphic scene of him climbing up a mountain slope tih one hand. It is extremely graphic. The darth vader transformation may disturb little ones as well as big kids. Also there is a matitial bed scene and kissing.
This title contains: Positive role models. Had useful details 2. Read my mind 3. Adult Written by amheusser April 9, Are you kidding?! I can't believe there has been no outrage over the issue of Anakin killing frightened children!!!!
The scene was left intentionally vague, but then was clarified several times, just in case you weren't sure. Why not just have him blow up the Jedi temple, without getting specific about who was in there?
Helped me decide 2. To make matters worse, director George Lucas also edited in the audio for the special release of Return of the Jedi at the moment where the villain throws Emperor Palpatine to his death. In the two previous prequel trilogy movies, the villain had operated in the shadows, manipulating the likes of Padme Amidala and Mace Windu into trusting him. But it would be no understatement to say he lives up to his evil name in Revenge of the Sith. Palpatine is absolutely superb to watch, with Ian McDiramid giving the best performance of his career so far.
The way he convinces Anakin Skywalker into joining the dark side is magnificent as well. It is such a strong movie and, in the eyes of many Star Wars fans, as close to perfection as you can get.
George Lucas cut some seriously cool scenes. We would also have got to see Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi team up during their thrilling duel on Mustafar to battle a creature.
Ultimately, omitting the scenes made no difference. Did the clone troopers who were loyal to the Republic become the stormtroopers? How would Padme Amidala die? What would cause the able-bodied Anakin Skywalker to become Darth Vader?
These were all questions that were swirling prior to the release of the movie and, thankfully, every single one of them was answered. It gave fans the answers they wanted and the big hope is that, with so much mystery surrounding the sequel trilogy, The Rise of Skywalker can do the same. Revenge of the Sith did, however, failed to answer one question.
Otherwise he serves no purpose beyond getting Obi-Wan away from Anakin for a bit. Furthermore, think about how stupid his role in the opening sequence is.
If you consider the situation, with the captured Chancellor on board, you have all three leaders of the Separatist movement in the heart of battle where they're incredibly vulnerable rather than coordinating things behind the lines: you have Grievous, the military leader, Dooku, the political leader, and Sidious, the true leader behind the scenes, all in the one place.
If anything goes wrong, the entire plan goes up in smoke immediately. The Separatist Council are just a bunch of businessmen and trade unionists; they can hardly be expected to lead the war if the others are captured or killed.
There are other things as well that are more on the "don't really seem to follow from the Originals" front but are worth dwelling on. For instance, I really don't think Palpatine needed to fight anyone with a lightsaber. Note that in Return of the Jedi he refers to Luke's lightsaber as "your Jedi weapon" as if such things mean little to him. Within the context of the Originals, it's perfectly easy to explain that the reason Vader wields a lightsaber is because he's a former Jedi and not because all Force users, light or dark, wield such weapons.
Palpatine also doesn't need to get his face all messed up. Couldn't it have just been explained as old age and the wear and tear of the corruptive Dark Side?
As has been said elsewhere, Order 66 makes the Jedi, who previously have been shown in the Prequels as amazingly resilient, look hopelessly incompetent. Beyond the straightforward massacre at the Temple, there's no sense of what Obi-Wan describes in Star Wars as Vader hunting down the Jedi, although I guess you could argue that that happened afterwards.
I should also point out that it has the worst opening crawl in the franchise's history, at least as far as the first paragraph is concerned: "War! There are heroes on both sides.
Evil is everywhere. I shouldn't have to even dignify this with a response because of what an utterly absurd proposition it is to argue that Revenge is better than Return. By any standard, Return of the Jedi is a better film. The acting is better. See the confrontation between Luke, Vader and the Emperor on the second Death Star for an example of character drama done reasonably well, by Hollywood sci fi action standards.
The action is better: the lightsaber duel and the Battle of Endor are both composed in a way that is coherent, rather than just a nonsensical mess. Return of the Jedi also succeeds by actually having a plot, which Revenge of the Sith doesn't, even if it's derivative of Star Wars In Revenge of the Sith a bunch of shit just happens in order to get the pieces in place for the Original Trilogy. Return of the Jedi ends on a meaningful note with the image of Anakin's redemption, unlike the utterly meaningless shot of the unambitious Uncle Owen posing like Luke at the end of Revenge of the Sith , even though Owen is completely unimportant - it could have at least been Obi-Wan.
The effects are also better. Observe the creature feature of Jabba's palace for enjoyable, practical effects, compared to the mind-rotting CGI of Revenge at every turn, especially Obi-Wan's lizard thing and the inhabitants of that planet. Return of the Jedi is also criticised for the use of the Ewoks, and while the Ewoks are overused and implausible, at least the sequences involving them utilise actors in locations doing real stunts, not just CGI nonsense like the battle on Kashyyyk with a token effort to have Peter Mayhew in the background as Chewie.
In any event, I would argue that Return of the Jedi is a stratospherically better film than Revenge of the Sith , and I would struggle to understand the mind that could position Revenge of the Sith 's categorical awfulness over the many good qualities of Return.
Firstly, the obsessive use of CGI is a big one, but I've hammered that home more than enough. I think in some respects the acting and writing gets worse in this one, largely because of McDiarmid hamming it up and McGregor phoning it in in Revenge to a greater extent compared to the others.
