I absolutely loved it! I had high expectations and it delivered on all accounts. Mind you, I had read/seen/heard nearly all the spoilers so I had a good idea of what to expect...
The acting was far more free, the dialogue less cheesy (though still off at some points) and Lucas' directing was superb compared to his previous efforts. Just look at the shot that reveals the opening battle, or how Anakin and Padme look to each other when Anakin is contemplating the huge decision in the Jedi Chamber, or when the Clonetroopers lead by a fallen hero march on the Jedi Temple.
One thing that really got me was the amount of passion in the first scene Anakin and Padme share together. The entire AOTC film lacked the equivelant passion in that one scene alone.
Obi-Wan's small speech with Anakin at the end of the duel really got me too...
But I'm a huge Star Wars fan from way back, if you're a fan or just enjoy the series you'll love it, if you're not a fan then you'll probably enjoy, if you're a dick who likes to complain because it makes you think your're cool then you'll hate it.
