I think the worst part of this movie was the attempted chemistry between Anakin and Padme. It was just contrived all along. Then again, that is one aspect of the storyline that this movie is on par with the original trilogy. Lucas should not be writing intimate scenes.
However, overall, it is amazing how much better a Star Wars movie is without Jar Jar. Shame Lucas can't go back and simply write that twit out of the first two.
What interested me the most is that the droids were used as a guilt-free way of allowing scenes of mass killing, giving the entire second trilogy a cartoonish feel to it. You can blow up Wile E Coyote 1000 times, and he comes back 1000 times, just like the droids. In this movie however, You not only have Anakin killing "real" creatures, but killing children. I thought it did very well to convey how fast and hard Anakin had fallen.
