You guys are ridiculous. Yes, it SUCKED, but it didn't suck nearly as bad as the first two for the simple reason that they minimized the dialogue of that tool playing Anakin. There was a lot of fun lightsaber work and the lack of "drama" kept the me from groaning throughout. Definitely the best of the prequel trilogy by a long shot (although Lucas, you POS, you had to stick Jar Jar in at the end didn't you?)

All in all, no worse than most of the crap people pay money to see and then buy on DVD because it was so "good"

And Jimmy Smits' pimp ride best get some love around here :p

LOL! I thought I was the only one that thought that! Someone's got to splice that in somewhere. GAWD that would be funny :D

Eh, so what. When ticket prices in major cities go up to 10-12 bucks for regular admission it's easy to hit 50 million on the first day. For a family of four its 45-50 bucks after tax anymore to go to the movies on a weekend. And that's not even including soda, popcorn, or candy.
"it's easy to hit 50 million on the first day" WTF are you thinking?
"It's easy to hit 50 million dollars on the first day when you have a built-in audience that will come see it three times no matter how bad it sucked, four times if it REALLY sucks, just so they can say how bad it is. It's win-win."
Not to mention tickets cost 2x what it was 5 years ago.

The average US ticket price is only about $1.00 more than five years ago.
