stevetseitz - an excellent read
A once in a few instance experience here, I have nothing to really add or respond to here. I want to thank stevetseitz for elaborately and elegantly describing some of my own mixed emotions about this movie. You did an excellent job helping me clarify in my own mind what I thought about this movie. Thank you.

General Grievious sucked.
Whatchyoutalkin'bout, steveseitz?
Grievous was creepy as hell; a perfect machine/man. Badass, tough and "Oakland Raider Evil".
Obi Wan coming out on top was, to me, the ulitmate testament of man beating machine a la John Henry.
Greivous' Windmill lightsaber gimick was quickly derailed by Obi Wan's intelect; jam the gears and go for the kill.
I think that this is one of the top lightsaber battles in the hexology (< i made that up... did I get it right?)
I have to agree about Pada Mae. For once, I bought it. When she was destroyed by "little annie"'s turn to the dark side, I could feel it.
Anniken, on the other hand, was a complete write-off. Some blame this on the green screen, but I don't think anyone could have done much with dialogue like that. Is Lucas a big Harlequin Romance novel fan?
