I think it's the best of the new trilogy and could possibly work as a weak addition to the original three movies. It was a lot of cool scenes interspersed with a number of bad ones. And for the most part, everyone needed to shut their cry holes. The dialogue was pretty bad at times - it didn't sound natural. It sounded scripted. It also did the impossible - it made lightsaber battles bad. How can you even do that?! Oh well. With that said, I think Anakin becomes a good deal more three dimensional and his fall makes some sense, and in a tragic sort of way. I felt for the Jedi - though that might be, in part, because I was already familiar with them from the Clone Wars cartoons. Nameless Jedi going down is one thing, but having some idea about who they are changes things a bit. Visually, it's spectacular. The CGI characters don't look anywhere near as bad as they have in other movies. The arena scene in Attack of the Clones made me think, "Gee, look at all those new toys rolling off the screen and onto the shelves," but I didn't get that sense here. I enjoyed many of the battles. So, yeah. Seen it. About a 6 or 7. It's about what should have been expected out of the movie after the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.</blockquote>
