I still like Revenge of the Sith. It's still not great - I've often described it as the least-worst of the prequel trilogy - but the script does what it can with the mess that I and II left it.
There are, of course, some weird moments (Emperor Palpatine: "Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth... [walks over to novelty toy dispensing machine, inserts quarters, turns the crank, retrieves the plastic egg, opens it and reads the name inside] ...Vader.") and some stuff that doesn't work, but generally I still think of it as a strong movie, despite its flaws. I'd actually rank it slightly higher than Return of the Jedi, but I acknowledge that's not strictly speaking a popular opinion.
