Washington Post (Desson Thomson)
Revenge was supposed to be the one that really socked it to us, about Anakin's almost biblical fall from grace. But the movie never rises to its powerful occasion. ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at Washington Post (Desson Thomson)

Is it enough to make us like a thing we used to love? For most, that rekindling of an old flame will be good enough. ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at Dallas Observer (Robert Wilonsky)
Poffy The Cucumber's Movie Mania
It can't be denied that we all hold a special place in our bosoms for the original 1977 Star Wars (now unfortunately called Episode IV) - PRE-digital insertions. [The creator of the series himself inserting digital upgrades into the Original Trilogy shou ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at Poffy The Cucumber's Movie Mania
Tail Slate (Leitha Matz)
The Movie Insider (Jack Moore)
Perhaps the greatest compliment that I can give Revenge of the Sith is that, as the last piece of the puzzle, it makes the other five episodes look even better than before. Revenge of the Sith does a remarkable job of linking all six movies together, so ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at The Movie Insider (Jack Moore)
Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)
Drink the Kool-Aid. Wear blinders. Cover your ears. Because that's the only way you can totally enjoy Revenge of the Sith -- the final and most futile attempt from skilled producer, clumsy director and tin-eared writer George Lucas to create a prequel ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)

Entertainment Insiders (Scott Mantz)
The circle is now complete! Six years after the first of the "Star Wars" prequels hit theaters, and 28 years after the original film sparked a manic pop-cultural phenomenon, George Lucas finally brings his epic space saga to a close with "Star Wars: ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at Entertainment Insiders (Scott Mantz)
Reel.com
In fairness, Revenge of the Sith flickers to dramatic life near the end, when Anakin is fully transformed into the heavy-breathing villain of the first three films. And the movie is visually dazzling, especially when Yoda makes a quick detour to ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at Reel.com
Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)
Until the last half-hour, when Lucas actually does establish a emotional connection between the landmark he created in 1977 and the prequel investment portfolio he laid out in 1999, the movie is one spectacularly designed letdown after another. ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)
New York Magazine (Ken Tucker)
Lucas is a brilliant technician but a poor philosopher, and his lurchingly thought-out rendering of futuristic politics prevents the entire series from achieving the greatness to which it aspires. (You don’t make anything this big, for this long, ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at New York Magazine (Ken Tucker)
Killer Movie Reviews (Andrea Chase)
STAR WARS EPISODE III -- REVENGE OF THE SITH is marginally better than its two predecessors. But to put that in the proper perspective, that's like saying that typhoid fever is marginally better than the ebola virus. It is a difference without a ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at Killer Movie Reviews (Andrea Chase)
Philadelphia Inquirer (Steven Rea)
For the casual viewer who feels like maybe all the Sith hoopla is worth checking out, well, it's like tuning in to the season finale of "24" without having watched a minute of its lead-up episodes. ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at Philadelphia Inquirer (Steven Rea)

Even setting aside the clumsy inconsistency of its interior logic, Sith is an underachievement of escapist entertainment. ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at Village Voice (Ed Halter)
Salon.com (Stephanie Zacharek)
I suspect this picture is pretty close to what fans were hoping for, and for their sake, I'm glad it's markedly better than the two that preceded it. But Revenge of the Sith is still crap. ...read the complete Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith movie review at Salon.com (Stephanie Zacharek)
