yeah, that statement is misguided. it's pretty popular and MUCH, MUCH better than any of the prequel movies. the arcs with droids and kid jedi can be tedious, but anakin in particular is a complete bad ass. his disillusionment with the jedi even kinda makes sense.

I saw a screening last night in Austin and enjoyed the hell out of it. Funnier than I expected and the kid is really likeable. Colin Firth kicks tons of ass including a completely bananas gouge-fest in a church.
