Star Wars fans are seriously all over the place.

I love the podracing scene (easily my favorite part of Episode I), but I think the Darth Maul fight is awful. I don't know what it is, but I just don't think it's very well choreographed or something. They way they swing their lightsabers around just looks silly for me (somehow even more silly than all the jumping and flipping that happens in all the big fights later in the prequels).

I'm not a huge fan of the prequels in general, but I do think Revenge of the Sith holds its own as a pretty good movie. I think they screwed up the pacing and Anakin's path to becoming Vader was much too accelerated. In one scene he's doing the right thing and telling the Jedi Council what he's learned, in the next he all but murders Windu with pretty much no build up. I hate to be that guy, but I read the novelization of Revenge of the Sith, and I think it really handled that transition very well. Other than that failing, though, I think RotS is pretty good.
