I just got back from watching the film a couple of hours ago, and I thought I'd link to some of the screencaps I have in my livejournal.
Revenge of the Sith Screencaps
Sorry I'm not posting my babblings, but it's really late and I don't have the energy to make my livejournal post make sense for this discussion.

Annakin is bad, very bad.

I too saw it last night - loved it!  The very best of the new ones, IMO. And almost as good as the original trilogy!
Also, the only Star Wars movie I've been close to crying over. It was sooooo sad...  |

I was so close to crying as well. The children, and the little padawan. *sob* I really liked this one, despite its flaws.
I've seen it twice, and should hopefully have it on DVD soon. Strange, I didn't really even like Star Wars before this. The soundtrack is so cool!

But Inglor, like a certain fallen maia, he's so *good* when he's bad.  |

...Ya'lls fascination with REALLY bad guys escapes me 
I can understand jerkmagnetness but sheesh, evil incarnate?
Just don't tell me you have something for the Emporer...ewww
Inglor the proverbial Nice Guy
P.S. Friend of mine read the book before going to the movie, said there was a lot more detail and extra scenes in the book. There are one or two gap filler books between Clones and Sith that are great reads if you are interested in being sucked into another fandom. One of the books is a Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now takeoff starring Samuel L. Jackson's character. Also there is an animated series that leads up to Sith that is very good also, caught most of it weekend before Sith came out. It gives you a good background on Palpatine's kidnap and that nasty robot general (Grievious I think?).
BTW, Does anybody see a paralell between Feanor and Annakin?

Part of it is probably a fascination with danger

Evil!Anakin is so very hott! But he's definitely not so when he's killing little children *sob* and is all crispy.

Anakin(can't remember real name!) is good-looking yes, but the guy can't act! He's very stiff. The movie was all right, not the greatest movie I've ever saw, but it was cool. A bit graphic though, I didn't see that one coming!
Lol before we saw the movie my mom was joking around saying "Hey, I know how it all ends!" so I was laughing saying "No! Don't tell me!" "Anakin becomes Darth Vadar!" "NOO!" lol!!
Then I accidently call the revenge of the sith the phanthom of the sith. I think I was listening to that opera at the time.....

I think the actors do the best they can with the dialogue they're given. Some of them can handle it, and others don't have the experience to pull it off. But they really don't have much to work with!

My two cents - feel free to give me a refund - Anakin's actor is horrible and that hair? It was more 70's than Luke's was. But Ewan McGregor was excellent. I was most pissed off about the way they made Padme all weepy and wimpy. Hello???  What happened to the girl when she married ole' Darth? Yeah, okay she was pregnant, so she didn't need to be running around like she was in the first two movies but what's up with all of the crying and wimpy talk?? I know -her husband went kinda crazy and evil but she was crying long before that.
George Lucus should be ashamed. 
Did I mention that Ewan did a great job?

There's an eternal fascination for us womenfolk for a little bit of bad boy...
And they can always be redeemed in the end, after all. 
Then again, I fall for the goody-two-shoes like Beleg the Brave, best buddy of bad boy Turin...
As for the fall of Anakin, I got teary-eyed a bit...his mother enslaved and killed...that will mess anyone up...

I heard one movie critic say that George Lucas was the only director he knew that could take really good actors (like Natalie Portman) and get a mediocre performance out of them.
I thought that with the last movie, like is this the first run through with the script? can we do that again and this time with feeling?
The critic also said that we had to remember that George Lucas pioneered those wonderful special effects and that it was probably due to his wanting to get the film back in the lab and add all those wonderful effects. He also said it was best seen on big screen to appreciate those special effects and he wouldn't have missed it.
haven't seen it yet. have one child that really shouldn't see it yet but i'm sure my oldest and probably my middle child will be okay with it. this is the darkest of all the films after all. so when we can arrange for a sitter and as soon as the last kid finishes school for the summer.....
(can't wait, I remember when the first Star Wars debuted....)

Well, saw it, enjoyed it, whinced through much of the dialogue ...  Really, the only one putting in a decent turn was Ewan McGregor/Obi-Wan.... I'll have his babies any time
It helps that his were the only lines that didn't sound stilted and awful -- either he's the only character the writers understood or the only actor with the *zing* to pull it off...
Now the special effects and the general look of the movie: 
The story itself is so wonderfully angsty, it makes you wish someone would do a remake, right now, properly!! I mean, come on: killing the younglings, the clone troops turning on their Jedi leaders, Anakin's (literal) fall from grace... there's so much good material, right there!!! 
Ah well... at least there were pretty pictures, and boy did those last 5 minutes creep everybody else out in the best way?!! It just leads seamlessly into A New Hope! (and what a touch to have Tarkin -- young -- standing by!!)
Anyways... will cease babbling now:)
