Personally, I responded to Anakin's death scene by saying 'shit, I can't believe how graphic that was' and then a little laugh at the totally forced 'You're my brother I love you' because it was very, very good, but sadly nothing had happened previously to back it up, which made it feel like it was just chucked in there to mske you say 'oh, they're such good friends, how sad it came to this'.
Basically what I'm saying as this - a great scene, or even a number of great scenes, don't make a good film if the rest of the meterial isn'y up to par.
Anyway, whatever - I wasn't pulling a 'cheap joke'. AWK's post about crying really did make me lagh out loud. I jsut can't see how anyone bought Anakin's fall or his friendship with Obi-wan. Evidently some did, and I'm happy for them and wish I was one of them, but I'm not. The prequels done nothing for me.
