Star Wars 1 - The Phantom Menace

What I liked

Palpatine, Ian Mcdarmid is just simply awesome, and the underlying political games that he was playing and how he was manipulating everthing in this movie was great.

Obi-Wan and Qui-gon - The casting was brilliant, and they were both amazing in their roles.

Darth Maul - He was the cool and silent type, but his fighting skills were awesome

What I disliked

Jar Jar - Too childish, the CGI didn't look good
Anakin was too young - I would have liked him to be a teenager instead
The slavery was too slavery light - They could have really built a base for his turn if he was an actual slave and he and his mother were mistreated.
The Gungans and Neimodians were just too racially stereotyped.

Star Wars 2 - Attack of the clones

What I liked

Palpatine cast a wide shadow even though he was in two scenes.
Jango Fett - he was awesome in action.
Obi-Wan - Continued his strong performance
Christopher Lee - Just an inspired piece of casting.
Jar Jar dooms the galaxy through his naive nature
We finally saw the clone wars and the concept of it was good.
Palpatine fighting a war on two sides.

What I hated

The dialogue was just awkward and hackneyed.
Over reliance on CGI
Hayden was awkward in the role.
I hate sand . . . come on man.

Revenge of the Sith

Love Palpatine for the first 3/4
The opera house scene.
Ewan continued to be incredibly strong.
The opening space battle looked so cool
The last scenes, Luke, Leia Vader
I loved the idea of the Clone Troopers turning on the Jedi, again it added to the idea of the Jedi trap

What I didn't like

Palpatine doing the monster movie voice.
Nooooooooo
They could have cut some things and added the dialogue from the book when Obi Wan and Anakin fight and when Anakin murdered the trade federation. I would have loved to have seen the seduction scene extended, it was done so well in the book.
I liked the fight between Anakin and Obiwan except for the high ground stuff. But man they should have changed Anakin's style to be more brutal.
She's lost the will to live, come on man, they implied that Vader slaughtered children, but after an encounter with his wife she loses the will to live.
General Grievous, was so much more awesome in the Clone Wars cartoons, but man he was a buffoon in this movie.
The movie really should have ended with more of a montage of the shadow of the Empire falling. I liked the scene at the Death Star, but a clip of Vader killing Jedi would have summed things up a lot more strongly.
