It's no secret that Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (Fox) is a huge improvement over the previous two installments. George Lucas has created an epic space opera that brings the saga full circle, as Anakin Skywalker is seduced by the Dark Side and the Jedi are decimated, while finally giving audiences what they've been waiting for. It's better Iate than never, I guess.
Lucas' script-far superior and streamlined than past efforts-focuses on what works best, the amazing action sequences. Unfortunately, many of the faults that crippled Menace and Clones are still evident: stilted performances (Natalie Portman has little to do but fret and grieve), overlong action sequences that are fast-paced but emotionally inert and CGI backgrounds so busy that they undercut the drama.
Enough with the nitpicking, though, be
cause when the movie works, it's truly remarkable. Sure, Lucas' clunky dialogue makes most daytime soaps seem graceful, but he's still an expert storyteller. The film-in fact, the entire new trilogy-finally comes to blazing life in Sith's dramatic second half, as the grim death toll rises and the Empire takes control, leading to the ultimate showdown between Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and twisted Anakin, the birth of Darth Vader and more than a hint of modern political commentary.

Of course, we all know how Anakin will eventually end up, but it's thrilling to watch his moral conflict and final transformation, particularly his scenes alongside the manipulative Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid, at his sinister best). It's also impossible to find flaws on a technical level, as Lucas and Industrial Light & Magic prove that they've finally mastered CGI action choreography. Sith may lack the wit and warmth that made the original trilogy so beloved, but it's still a fantastic ending for a franchise that changed the face of cinema.
