Oh phew! I started at the bottom of the list of updated threads which meant that I read the boycotting and the "meh" review threads first. I was starting to wonder if anyone liked the movie.

Well, suffice it to say, I did like it... a lot.

Ewan definitely made the movie. He brought humor, compassion, and wisdom to the movie that was sorely lacking in TPM and AOTC.

Hayden and Natalie weren't the best, but at least a bit better. And I did like Anakin's dream sequences. Well done, IMHO.

The cornball dialogue was at a minimum and Jar Jar was silenced.

The CG was much better this time around. Nothing really stood out too horribly except maybe for Obi Wan's lizard mount. It could have been worse if there hadn't been so much other stuff to see at the same time.

Grievous was absolutely pointless. I know the coughing is explained in the Clone Wars animated series, but how does that help the millions who were never able to see the toon? To them, it was just annoying. To me, it was annoying, and I know why it happened that way.

And am I the only one who's starting to feel sorry for Christopher Lee here? Cut entirely from the theatrical release of ROTK and offed early in ROTS. Man, he's just getting the shaft.

Oh, and I could have done without Vader's scream towards the end.
