i was one of the few people who actually enjoyed episode 2 (episode 1 was still 90% crappy, when i watch it, i skip over huge chunks)

but ep 3 just blew me away, not that it was particularly great or anything, but its just so relentless in its onslaught. it just hammers at you with images and emotions, i really enjoyed it

it had some flaws of course, but its definitely better than return of the jedi

how i would rate them:

Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope
Revenge of the Sith
Clone Wars animated series
Return of the Jedi / Attack of the Clones (equal)
The Phantom Menace

for me, it's all about the "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"!!! ...if u haven't seen the movie, you will...it's the ONLY thing that pissed me off, oh, and natalie portman not knowing how to act in a star wars movie (and don't give me that "thats how lucas directed her" crap, there comes a time when u as an actor can actually do research and do the charecter justice on your own.). outside of that it was breathtaking. Dukoo took it rough...so did mace...poor guys...anyways, I LOVE STAR WARS!! YAY!

I definatly Rank this as my #1 favorite out of the entire Series ranking them all as Follows:

Revenge of the Sith
Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
New Hope
Attack of the Clones ( I really liked this movie... but it dragged after too short a time)
Phantom Menace


I can easily complain about J. Earl Jone's Voice acting at the end there... kinda didn't feel right or adequatly match what we have built Vader to be at that time.... Best explained by "Just didn't sound right."

Otherwise the rollercoster of emotions Just rocked. From Laughing to sitting on the edge of my seat to some serious sad feelings, the movie deffinatly caught me by surprise considering what i had previously expected. The nice and sometimes subtle blend of the tech and the situations to flow into IV, and the preformances. Well I can also complain about Sammy J's preformance just before his "Big Death Scene"
AND... Padme very quickly on the spot Naming her kids Luke and Leah(sp) A bit odd.

I think the Folks who unexpectedly stole the screen were:

R2D2 (He kicked some But! Then Got kicked onto His a$$)
Palpatine/Cidious (Much more into his character)


I strongly recomend the movie to everyone and anyone into Sci Fi.
I give it 3 appen.... rather 2 thumbs way up!

Watched it last night. It's certainly better than the first two, but I don't think it gets close to the original trilogy just yet. I would rank them like this:

- New Hope/Empire Strikes Back
- Return of the Jedi
- Revenge of the Sith
- Attack of the Clones
- Phantom Menace

Oh, and acting was still lacking on this movie. Kenobi was a bit better, but Padme and Anakin are just bad ...

Now, some spoilers:

After I saw Attack of the Clones, I was on a Star Wars high for about a day. Gotta be honest, this star wars high isn't even going to last that long. I hate to be the spoilsport here, but this movie failed almost every time a real human element was required. Aside from the first half of Ian McDiarmid's portion of the movie, which was flawless, almost every emotional beat was wrong. The audience is confronted with these terribly adult situations where the characters have to make life-and-death decisions, and the characters respond with an almost playground-esque immaturity every time. At the end of the film, I honestly can't understand why Vader gave in to the dark side with such ease.

Oh, and there's a point in one lightsaber duel where the two combatants literally just swing their sabers around, neither attacking nor defending.

As a visual showcase of technology, it was stunning. You can tell that Lucas got back to his roots of using models and makeup, and that aspect of the film is completely captivating. As a lesson in how to apply CGI to large environments, it was very good. However, the CGI humans were very distracting, especially when contrasted with real humans on screen.
