Rico,Took my family to see this on Thursday - and enjoyed it.
Yes, some of the dialogue was stilted. Lucas has givem some good actors really poor lines to deliver.
But, these are films that are aimed at a young demagraphic.
What I like about the film, as with A New Hope, is the fact that Anakin/Darth Vader is not doing things because he is 'evil'.
Pure evil doing nasty things is pretty boring. People doing things out of good intentions, but that are evil, is interesting to me.
For me this made Anakin's slaughter of the 'younglings', don't you just HATE that term, a mistake. I don't know who Mr & Mrs Youngling are but I hope they are being prosecuted!
I agree that the ILM special effects come across as cartoon, rather than reality - as the Weta work frequently does, but it was not generally so bad as to pull me out of the moment.
I would certainly recommend seeing this on the big screen.
