I am unable to use my tickets for tonight due to an unexpected business trip which I have to leave for this afternoon.
How good was it? Was it better than ESB? Has Lucas redeemed himself?
DO NOT SPOIL ME!

Better than ESB? not a lock, but some people will tell you it is. For me, the jury is still out on ROTS's place individually in the saga. As a connector to the OT, it was great. I was shocked by how silent the crowd was for the vast majority of the movie. Visually stunning, and emotionally engaging. I had a few nitpicks, as did others. Those vary from person to person. I would give it a 9 out of 10.

Yes it was good, Yes & Yes.
IMO, of course.

It was... Good. Maybe even great. The thing is that it isn't like any other Star Wars film. I left the theater feeling empty, like someone had kicked me in the gut.
To be honest, I have to see it once more (at least) to make up my mind. But I can tell you this, it is not a bad film, no way.

Of course there have been some who don't like it. Mostly they are the ones who focus on the minor flaws. Yes, accept that it has flaws, because it does. If you overlook those, and are open minded about changing your perception of the characters, you will have a masterpiece on your hands.
It is the very definition of a Space Opera.

Yes, it left me feeling very weird. I haven't figured out why yet.

I envy you for not having seen the movie yet because, if you're half interested in seeing a great movie, a moving drama and an epic space opera instead of looking for trivia to nitpick, then you're in for one hell of a treat.
Better than Empire? WITHOUT QUESTION.

Actually, I left the theater incredibly lukewarm.
But I saw it a second time, and it is indeed fantastic.

It will definitely be exciting the first time; but whether or not you'll love it right off the bat I can't say. I've heard a lot of reports that it's just way too much to take it all at once (I feel the same way), so it might take a second viewing to really enjoy it.
And 'sides, it'll give you a good reason to see it again! :-D

My feeling is that it will be better the second time. So much of the first viewing was spent in frustration over Anakin. Yelling in my mind of how stupid he was and how he lacks all forms of basic intelligence.
The tragic ending was inevitable, but that doesn't mean I didn't wanted them to avoid it. I would pray that they make the more wise decision, and frustration was built, emotions invested. I have a feeling that I'll enjoy it more the second time round.
Hard to explain now.
The acting has improved a great deal. Ewan and Ian especially have a fantastic job. The Yoda, Bail & Obi-Wan scenes were my favorite in the movie. By the end, they were the only characters I cared about (besides the droids.)

It was great. I really loved it the first time I saw it. It does leave you feeling upset, depressed, etc... but it's meant to! But trust us all when we say that it's even better the 2nd time through. There is so much to take in, it's so visually stunning. I really think you'll enjoy it.
Is it better than Empire? I think so. At least I do right now.

I hope I enjoy it more the second time round.
Though no matter what, I feel Empire is still superior. Empire has more of a human story to it. Too much time is spent in ROTS on needless and useless action scenes. I don't want to sound like a basher, it is a good film. At the moment, I just don't feel it is as worthy of all this praise as some make it out to be.

It is simply amazing. Maybe the best of them all. Did not redeem Lucas since there was nothing to redeem as I enjoyed TPM and AOTC.

It's incredible. I loved it and didn't even notice those pesky little nitpicks that everyone keeps mentioning.
It it better than Empire? Apples and Oranges, I say, but when it comes down to it, I would much rather see ROTS than ESB right now!
