I enjoyed it.
Much better than Phantom Menace (I am so glad that Jar Jar only appeared in a few brief scenes in Episode II). The love story was not very believable, but the action sequences were great.
And boy, can Yoda ever kick butt!
Go Yoda!
But, the original trilogy was by far, superior. Perhaps because of Harrison Ford (I was 11 when Jedi came out, so just old enough to have a crush on Han Solo). Saw A New Hope when I was 5, and Empire when I was 7/8, so yes, I was young when I fell in love with the movies. I still love them, and not just because of Harrison (yes, I still have a crush on him, even if he is old enough to be my father!)
Yes, the Ewoks nearly ruined Jedi, but they didn't. Jar Jar, however, did ruin Episode 1. I found him so annoying, so incredibly stupid and annoying, that he ruined the whole movie for me. And Jake Lloyd was a horrible choice for the young Anikin. They could have done much better casting someone else in that role (ie. the young actor who starred in that Bruce Willis flick, I can't remember the name of it at the moment.)
Anyhow, I was quite pleased with this latest installment. Not outstanding, but a good, fun romp of a movie. And Lucas has stayed true to his original vision - you have to give him that.
