ok, you can think that he gets energised before the battle, but then... he is supposed to be 100% good, getting overconfident is a weakness, not to be made by a Jedi Master of his kind!

I see no contradiction. Just because the Jedi are not soliders does not mean that Windu does not have a very good appreciating of how damn danerous a Jedi can be!

It's very cool, but don't expect to see very many other Jedi battling it out. It pretty much focuses on the main heroes. The others are just background material. Plo Koon is virtually non existent and I don't think we see Ki-Adi do anything. It is pretty obvious that Lucas cut the Plo Koon and Ki-Adi adventure on the Droid control ship. When the others are in the circle and the droids are ordered to cease fire, Ki-Adi and Plo Koon are escorted into the circle by droids. To me it looked like no more than 10 Jedi survived that battle, but it is never mentioned.
They are powerful. People underestimate Obi-Wan. He is as good as any Jedi except maybe Yoda. They had to be tired during the Dooku duel, which may be why they were so easily beaten by him.

I think the point made about Dooku is that he really IS a peerless swordfighter (small green guys excepted). It always pays to have a superior villain.
And yerss, a Jedi may still be worth a hundred droids, but they were outnumbered by far more than that!
