It’s been over a month since I saw Revenge of the Sith, so a review is long overdue. I might need to see the movie again to remember it!
Like most people, I was disappointed with Episodes I and II, so I was really looking forward to III. It didn’t disappoint me. I thought the movie was a great finish to the last (actually 3rd in the timeline) of the Star Wars movies. Revenge of the Sith answered all of the questions I had going into it. I won’t go into any detail because I wouldn’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen the movie.
I do have to bring up two things I didn’t care for. I thought General Grievous would be a much more prominent charcter in the film. I thought he went down pretty easy to Obi-Wan Kenobi. I was waiting for a big battle where he took on 4 or 5 Jedi. Which leads me to my other complaint. Did the Jedi go down too easy or what?
With that said, I thoroughly enjoyed Episode III and give it an A.

I agree with your perception of the prequels. I think Lucas wasted a lot of time with the first two movies, only showing small relevant scenes. The third movie had a lot to cover to put all the pieces together.
I agree that General Grievous should have been given a large role and introduced sooner and in more detail. With all of his collection of light sabers you would think one Jedi would have a hard time taking him down.
The portion of the movies where Anakin turns on the Jedi and the clone troopers start killing the Jedi felt very rushed. Lucas wanted to say that the Jedi were killed, but he had so many other things to tell in the movie he just killed them off quickly.
Also, I think this movie, along with the two previous ones severely failed in the dialog department. I was cringing half the time when the dialog was being delivered.
IMHO, the movie deserves nothing more than a B.

I agree with you, the Jedi seemed to go down way too easy for my taste.

You have to realize, however, that the Jedi were caught entirely offguard. The one dude, on the snowy bridge, did fight back, but there were way too many clone troopers for him to defend against. The others were literally shot in the back (the Twi’lek female comes to mind). I agree that the Jedi wouldn’t have gone down so easily, but only if they had advance warning, even if they had known or realized it a minute earlier, they would have been safe.

I think they should have been able to use the Force to realize what was about to happen.
