I finally saw it last night, and I must say it was quite as bad as I expected. The dialogue, honestly, my friend and I were literally rolling in our seats, trying to stifle our laughter. Especially between Anakin and Padme.... there was just nothing there in any way redeeming, so that when things turned bad I didn't care what the hell happened to them. The thing that dissappointed me the most was the five minutes devoted to the eradication of the Jedi. That could have been a film unto itself, and yet it's, 'The Jedi must be killed.' 'Rightio, then.' Three or four jedi cop it, and we move on... So much that didn't make sense, and wasn't explained. So many bad effects (the lizard, my god!). Call me picky, call me petty, just don't try and tell me these are the best films that could have been delivered....
