Definately up to the original triology standard. Also, by seeing this, you see how I and II fit in. Okay, they're still not great films, but they do fit in.
I caught the 12.31 showing (that's 00.31 not just after noon). We got stopped by a stormtrooper on our way in who asked to see our tickets. It was only after that that someone suggested we should have responded "you don't need to see our tickets"!
There was a whole bunch of fans there as expected and a great cheer went up when the opening credits rolled.
The film itself, I'm not going to give anything away other than Yoda is even more seriously cool than in Episode II! There's a few real comic moments to lighten the mood, but in general it's a very dark film. The pace of it is spot on and, though some of the diologue is a bit cheesy, there are no real cheesy scenes. Even the romantic scenes are done reasonably well.
Overall, it's brilliant!!
Edit: I would've posted this 11 hours ago, but decided that sleep would be better!
There you go thinking again, Antan. We know it isn't your stongest suit.
Eleven hours ago would have been preferable.
