Star Wars Episode III- RotS is ,in my opinion, a fantastic and entertaining film. I stress entertaining though.
The thing is, I will defend this film no end from "original trilogy" lovers because it just feels so...fresh and vibrant, and to me more Star Wars than the original trilogy. That's a very bold statement on my behalf, but watching the opening space battle just makes you feel as though this is the prime of that time, and from then on it's all going to go downhill. The lightsabers come aplenty, with the fight between Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous one of my favourites, seeing how different it is from all the others. Also, the final fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan is a classic; if only they had make it more fluid, instead of cutting to the fight in the Senate every minute. But that was effective to see the contrasts, just a bit annoying when it keeps cutting.
The bad things about this film are sometimes the acting is a bit off; for example the Padme & Anakin scenes do make you go "Hurry up!!!" and Yoda can get irritating after a while. Also, some parts make you crave more development (action-wise) but don't deliver and seem too abrupt, for example the fight with Count Dooku at the start is over very quickly (and nastily) and the Grievous part could have been longer, as it was very entertaining.
I said I stress that; if you're looking for an extremly deep film with great messages and lots of thoughts to provoke you, then this isn't it. But it's a fantastic film to watch with your friends, or by yourself if you just want to kick back and watch a great film. Also, it has a fantastic soundtrack, but that's to be expected from John Williams.
