OK, so I'm a little late to this discussion. I just saw it last night.
Overall, good flick. I had alot of things I didn't like about it, and some others that were great.
GOD damn YOU MAGUS!!! I've been all excited since last night, because they showed the "pre-stormtrooper" clones. I thought they were making it a point to explain that the stormtroopers were in fact clones.
I personally HATED the yoda fight scene. Explain this to me....He can do all the shit with the lightning, and can STOP anything dropped on him, but why on earth couldn't he hurl it back at Dooku? I thought he looked like a muppet reject from the Matrix in this scene. I liked it much better with them just staring each other down and using the force to fight. However, I DID like him being commander. That gave a whole new respect for him.
I didn't like the shadow scene. I thought they stayed focused on it for too long. It should have been much quicker. It was as if they were saying "HEY, look at us, we're being clever!". They did it in the first one with the movie poster. Why bring it back? And if you do bring it back, make it something quick, so you really have to watch close to pick it up.
I thought the asteroid belt, while cool, was redone. Did he forget he did that before? Although the new spin on it with the bombs was cool.
The cantina. Did they need to bring this scene back again?
I thought the Death Start plans was a cool touch to see.
The chase scene was kick ass, going after the assasin.
I also liked the escape scene in the droid plant.
I thought the ONLY time that Anakin acted well was his scenes with Obi Wan. They had a good Master, Padawan relationship going. Seeing his scene with Palpatine was cool as well. Where he tells him he's been a great Mentor. That really builds the framework for the Darth Vader/Emperor relationship. It proves that Palpatine was planning this all along with Anakin in mind.
I'd give it 3 of 5 stars.
