Well... it's very good.
It's not Heyden Christensen's finest hour, though he is much better in some parts than others.
The Yoda fight, while still not something I am broadly happy with, still looked at least thirty times better than I thought.
The mass battle was undoubtedly impressive in many many ways but somehow still didn't connect with me quite like, say, Hoth did.
Dooku was suitably menacing and probably underused; he also became more and more of a caricature as time went by but then this IS Star Wars, and simple bad guys are part of the deal. He didn;t actually fight with any particularly fencing0like style, one handed or otherwise, in fact, he seemed as uncomfortable holding the curved handle as C. Lee described earlier today in a tv interview. But he was still DAMN lethal! Oh yes!
Mr. McGregor is on top form and clearly enjoyed being focussed on.
Ah... I could go on making points for hours. I'll stop there. I liked it, anyway.
BTW, the costume department seemed determined to make sure that Natalie Portman was wearing less and less all the way through the final hour...
