Plot

As the Clone Wars near an end, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious (Ian McDiarmid) steps out of the shadows, at which time Anakin (Hayden Christensen) succumbs to his emotions and puts his relationships with Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and Padmé (Natalie Portman) at risk.

Opinion

Once you hit the bottom, there is nowhere to go but up, and so did George Lucas. Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith is a surprisingly good, dark and emotional end to the prequel trilogy. This is the best Star Wars film since The Empire Strikes Back and unarguably the best film of the new trilogy.

While the dialogue is still horrible, especially in the romance parts, the story offers something the previous two couldn't give. The special effects are perfect. The lightsaber duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan is good and thrilling, although we know how it ends.
The drama in the film helps the cast giving their best performances of the three films. 

Quotes

Obi-Wan: You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them. You were to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness.
