I didn't like the movie as a whole, but Ian McDiarmid was good and I think Ewan McGregor was brilliant. He was no longer just trying to be Guiness, but created his own character that worked with Guiness' portrayal. His Chosen One speech to Anakin was, for me, the only time in the last two movieswhere the emotion that seemed genuine. Also, I've never seen anyone get their legs chopped off and catch on fire. That was at least interesting to watch.
