While I loved the movie, overall...Anakin's anger and rage simply was not convincing enough. Aside from the 'I hate you' line to Obi-wan...almost everything else was on the weak side.
I felt he should have slapped Padme, with a backhand, at least once to display some evil, but he went straight for the force-choke.
I'd have to say the opening space battle. I mean, it was visually stunning, but from hearing how awesome it was going to be, it just didn't live up to it. Hopefully they will have the parts that were cut from the battle on the dvd. I thought they just should've showed more of the battle instead of just following Anakin and Obi Wan. That, and the Dooku fight was nothing compared to the fights that followed.
Boy, there were actually a lot of things that I was disappointed at. First of all, I didn't think that the seduction of Anakin by Palpatine was done well at all. There were many conversations in the book that were cut and basically consensed into the opera scene. It just seemed like after cutting off Mace's hand, Anakin said he was the Emperor's slave.
No. 2 - Grievous was brutal. Where the hell did he get black lung?
No. 3 - The intial battle was almost 5 chapters in the book, and the duel between OB1/Anakin & Dooku seemed like a rip-roar which was really didn't happen in the movie. It was actually pretty quick, and a lot of cool things were left out of the intial battle.
No. 4 - Lack of explanation of the whole deal with Qui Gonn, and living in the force. Thankfully, the book explains things a little bit more, and I had to explain the scene to my buddy who had not read the book. OB1 is a pretty big deal in Episodes IV - VI, so explaining it would have been better.
No. 5 - Padme dying (yes, this is a flaw - wrong thread - not going there)
No. 6 - Vader after becoming more machine than man - somethings cool (e.g. the red eyes [let me look at you with my own eyes - ROTJ]) - many things BAD such as the rebel yell he lets out after finding out he killed Padme
That's all I can think of right now - However, lets think of this - even with its flaws, its still far better than TPM and AOTC!
The biggest disappointment was Darth sidous lack of power , he was unimpressive no wonder he was afraid of luke becoming a jedi. All in all the battle with him and yoda was a draw he didn't dominate anyone in the movie.
As far as GG i thought he was more interesting than Sidous. 1 thing u have to remb is that he was up against obi wan 1 of the most powerful jedi , not some no name extra with a saber. GG could own any average jedi but against some one like Obi , Anakin , Yoda or Mace he doesn't stand a chance!
Okay... a few things.
Leia remembers Bail Organa's wife as her mother, just like she remembers Bail Organa as her father. Remember when she says, "Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars... now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire."
It's meant to be more tragic, that when Luke asks about her real mother, she remembers her step mother... Padme has been forgotten completely, save for a few people like Anakin, Obi-Wan, & Yoda.
Also, I thoroughly enjoyed the Grievous fight. I thought it made Obi-Wan look bad ass and also made him look much improved since his fight with Jango in Episode 2. He had some real balls to just jump down and take him out the way he did.

I enjoyed it and thought it had purpose... it was just too short. It was basically a plot device to get Yoda away from the temple when Anakin betrays the order. Better to be with Wookiees than Gungans I say. 😘
