True if the characters, the story, the effects, the direction (aka the rest of the cinematic qualities of the films) were up to scratch the bizarre disco dance fighting would be a quibble (a quibble amplified by the brilliance of the rest of the film but still a quibble).

But when everything else is a mess and you can't even enjoy a compelling sword fight it's worse than annoying.

It's depressing.

I think what I disliked the most were some of the truly lamer choreographed parts, like the 2-on-1 beginning in ROTS, where it was obvious that the characters weren't even trying.

There were like at least 2-3 major opportunities for both Anakin, and then Obi-Wan, to cut Dooku while he was flipping around, all in a matter of a few seconds... they were just kinda swinging around looking bored and disengaged. That sucked.

Obi-Wan vs. Anakin, as well as most of Darth Maul (especially the two final parts) were quite good, I believe.
