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.

I agree 100%.
I'm surprised you also noticed the first scene that Anakin and Padme had. I was like, "What the HELL are the critics talking about? This is actually emotional and well-delivered." Then the rest of the scenes with them were ok, but not good (like the first one).
That movie was unbelievably good. I liked Episode 1. I hated Episode 2...and now this movie leaves the Star Wars saga with a pure, loving mindset. Star Wars is freaking awesome and I'm sad to see it go.
I've been leaving my avatar the same since I joined TFP in hopes that Episode III would be awesome...looks like my avatar is staying permanent.

As my brother said, "If I saw George Lucas right now I'd give him a hug."
