and shows the downfall of Anakin Skywalker. I didn't quite like this movie when I was a kid, but going back to it, it was quite a good movie.
Onto the review!
Synopsis:
The Clone Wars is nearing an end, and Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his former apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, must save the Chancellor Palpatine from the Separatists. But, Anakin begins to have nightmares of a death that haunts him, and eventually leads him to his downfall.
Review:
Wow. Okay, this movie was a lot more better than I remember it being. For one, watching this after Star Wars: The Clone Wars, scenes are a lot more painful. For one, the Temple March, you know, that infamous scene when the 501st and Vader attack the Temple? Well, I noticed something while watching it; the staircase he walks up before they kill the Jedi, is the same one that Ahsoka walked down when she-*Spoilers for The Wrong Jedi* left the Jedi Order.
Anyway, the effects still stand out well today, as the other movies, but in some scenes, not quite as well. The story itself is great, and I still don't see why people don't like these movies. This movie is the darkest of all the Star Wars movies, and I think it's sort of fitting. The movie wraps up the saga, and ties everything together.
I always feel sad when the Jedi die in the movie, but this time I actually shed some tears, and I think that's in part to Clone Wars, because there we met them in proper, and learned stuff about them. So, yeah, it's quite interesting. One of the things going back to it, is that, for me, it's hard to like some of the Jedi, because, in a weird way, Anakin was right: the Jedi had lost their way, and that's even more evident in the later seasons of Clone Wars, particularly in season five and six, and I won't mention some things due to spoilers. I watched this movie knowing the end to the Clone arc in Season Six (I hadn't watched the episode yet, but I knew what it was), and things made more sense to me, and now I don't hate the Clones anymore (I did not like them after I watched this movie. At all. Rex is actually the first clone I ever actually liked).
The movie is a great movie, if not a bit long, and has plenty of clever one-liners, has sad moments, and plenty of action. The end fight scene with The Emperor vs Yoda, Obi-Wan vs Anakin, were all brilliantly done. And unlike Luke from Gilmore Girls, I don't mind the end of the fight scene with Obi-Wan and Anakin.
Also, the soundtrack, Battle of the Heroes, is awesome. Really.

Note:
I may have to do The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi review by memory, because I still haven't found time to watch them yet. I still have today and tomorrow to do that though, so hopefully I'll get to watch it.

Of the prequels, Revenge of the Sith is definitely my favorite, and Christensen was a lot better at acting in this one as well. I liked the darker tone the movie took, and how it lead into the Original Trilogy. Thanks for the link!

Ya know, I never particularly thought the acting to be bad in the prequels, or any of the films. They have their strong moments, and slightly weaker moments, but the acting is wonderful in the films. I liked the film, and it was most definitely the darkest of the series (so far, now, I suppose). No problem!
