I genuinely like the movie and I think the story arc is fantastic. Some terrific light sabre battles, and the score is sublime.
But there's just so many misses with the CGI and dialogue. Feels like the first two movies were just filler, and the entire storyline takes place in EP III so it's a little rushed. I wish they focused more on the Anakin's internal struggle that ultimately led to his downfall.
Hayden with that smile tho.

I can't say it enough Read the book, and then read Dark Lord the Rise of Darth Vader. The pictures it draws into the fall of Anakin and the machinations of Palpatine are amazing. The in office reveal scene where Anakin learns that Palpatine is a Sith Lord, and Palpatine explains to him what it means is unreal.
The one thing that's really cool, is they have the chapters start with This is what it means.
So they have a
This is what it means to be Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Padme, or Yoda (Which is terrifying because that one takes place while he's fighting Sidious and knows that his life of training as a Jedi has been misplaced). Mace (As Anakin falls), and Anakin himself. They even have ones on Dooku and Grievous that starts with "He can't laugh or cry". But they never do one on Sidious because as the book points out, he's an event horizon in the Force, he's the embodiment of the Dark Side, like Anakin was supposed to be the embodiment of the light.
Dark Lord starts before Order 66, with several Jedi, but the chapter that takes place that introduces us to Vader who still speaks like Anakin is sad and depressing and shows that Anakin now realizes that he was used by Palpatine and became nothing more then a trophy, locked away in a case of armor.
