Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Namrata Joshi Outlook The technical wizardry, the special effects, the ear-buzzing sound, the mind-numbing action and those magnificent light-sabres are all there. Rated: 3/4 Jan 8, 2019 Full Review Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Evan Williams The Australian The special effects, of course, are incomparably good and the digital photography achieves a dazzling clarity. Rated: 4/5 Dec 15, 2015 Full Review Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Philippa Hawker The Age (Australia) It soon becomes obvious that there is no avoiding the burden of predictability: there is nothing, essentially, in the film's story that we don't know already. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 16, 2015 Full Review Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Akhil Arora AkhilArora.com Hellbent on taking itself way too seriously, it’s less than the sum of its parts. May 31, 2024 Full Review Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Christian Eulinberg InSession Film This might come as a shock to most fans out there, but this is my favorite Star Wars story of all time. Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Given a hundred years of cinema language with which to make us feel Anakin’s turn, to make us experience his dread and suffering, Lucas decides instead to play in the sandbox of the future.
