I called a local theater, and their 9:30 am projection was almost empty (95% of seats unoccupied!), but my bro didn't wanna get up to go with me, so I'll probably see it tommorow.

@Terabin - Same here.
Funny how the movie got more interesting to the end. I'm in two minds about it, as the transfer to the original series felt really heavy handed as the production design changed. Evidently they're a big fan of '70's design at Alderaan.  But they kept throwing in the modern organic shapes even when the blockade runner was setting down.That said I rather enjoyed many of the visual aspects of the film, and Senator Palpatines seduction of Anakin was well handled, but Lucas is such a clumsy, heavy-handed scriptwriter and director that every time I started to get into it some motif or line would throw me back out. That said, overall, I liked it. It wasn't great, but it wasn't a piece of arse like the others either. Its themes win over the viewer more than anything else, and certainly ILM have just about perfected their digital artwork. The actors seemed more comfortable with the (occasionally horrendous) dialogue and the lighthearted relief was welcome. Lucas' insistance that small floating things enter the frame at every minute wasn't though. Like I said, two minds.

After seeing it, I have to say it could've been a lot better. The battles were great, but I think from the birth of Vader and on, it was... stupid. I remember everyone cracking up in the theater at the scene where Skywalker joins Palpitine. What I'm trying to say is I don't like how Vader was such a tool.

You guys are harsh. I really loved the film and, aside from a few nitpicky things here and there, think it's wonderful entertainment. I put it just below Empire in the pantheon. Nice work all around.

 And at least we justify our comments as to why we didn't like it. Much. It was OK.

The thing that most bothered me was the absence of my favorite Jedi character Shaak Ti, she's one of the main Jedi characters in the Clone Wars micro-series.
She was supposed to be one of the Jedi killed in the attack on the temple, Vader kills her while she's meditating, but they cut that scene from the movie. However overall I thought the movie was one of the better in the series, definetly better than episodes 1 & 2

It's been reported that the movie demolished the single day opening record. It made 50 million..the previous record was 44 held by Shrek 2. The fact that this occurred on a school day and is followed by one is even more impressive. The midnight showing alone was 16.5 million.

Can anybody who has been to see this film tell me if Hayden Christensen as learnt to act since the last film?
That may sound a little harsh, but I also think it was true. His line delivery in Attack of the Clones (Worst. Title. Evar.) was pathetic. |

About Hayden, I've heard he did fairly well in Shattered Glass (haven't seen it, nor heard about it until today). Given the general suckiness of the acting in all these movies, I think it's safe to say the fault lies with the director. Anyways, I saw the movie a few hours ago. I thought it was pretty decent. The theater I saw it in was crap though -- the audience was loud and rude, and the sound system wasn't working very well... so I probably would have enjoyed it more in a different setting.
