Saw it thursday, and still not sure what i think. Visually impressive...
The end was the most redeeming part of the film. Palpatine's puppeteering was not implied quite as strongly as i thought it might be.

I share alot of the same gripes that i am reading in the rest of this thread.

I will say that alot of the questions and speculation (the ones that deal specifically with the events in the movie) that I am reading in this thread can be answered/explained better if you read the novel based on the screen play (Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Stove)...

After reading the book, the movie i conjured in my head was a bit better
than the one i spent $10 to see...

still better than the other films on offer right now.

Maybe i'll feel better about it after i see it again this week.
