Saw this at 12:01AM this morning, I'm bushed right now, but the movie was very good in my opinion. A fitting segue into the original 3 and a great action flick. Some of the dialogue seems a bit strained but for the most part it was very good.
Rating: A
PS
What made this even more entertaining was the two people in the crowd who had the $120 light sabers from Best Buy dueling in the front of the theater while we waited for the movie to start, friggin priceless.
I saw the midnight showing too. I'm not a die-hard fan but a coworker had an extra ticket so I decided to go. The movie, two and a half hours long for the bladder conscious, was really good. I didn't like everything about it, but all in all it was a really good story and a lot of interesting things came together well. If you got turned off by Episode I and/or II, don't worry becuse III is much more adult. That said, there is at least one fight scene that gets fairly gruesome and may be inappropriate for kids, hence the PG-13 rating.
