Honestly, I think you were expecting too much or something. You associate your assessment to Hayden Christensen, only the first example you use of his "poor acting" is actually James Earl Jones. The music, well, it's John Williams. It wasn't really any different than what he's done for the other movies, minus there being no new musical motif introduced. Finally, I think this is the one prequel where Lucas finally gets the comedy bits right. It's not a lot, not at any really inappropriate moments, and it's very much in the same spirit as the comedy bits in the original trilogy. "I came to see some drama and ass-kicking, not some stupid robot..." I hope you hated every similar aspect of the original trilogy just as much then, otherwise it's just hypocritical IMO.
