Star Wars needs bad dialogue, I guess. It's part of the experience. So I agree with you. And at least it wasn't as bad as the Episodes I and II.
Storyline...well...intact? I suppose. But the story centered so much on Anakin and Kenobi that other parts seemed kind of useless. The battle for Kashyyyk seemed tacked on to me, for example.
Lightsaber battles...not bad. My girlfriend HATED the battle between Palpatine and Windu, though. She said it looked like two geriatric actors trying to pretend their bones don't ache.
Space Battles...battles? There was only one, right? And it was more of a "two jedi dodging stuff" scene than a real battle. There wasn't any sense of urgency or uncertainty on the part of the characters. Obi Wan is about to die and he's kind of nonchalant about it. I thought this part was kind of a let down.
...And by the way, how come two jedi didn't seem to care much that a massive, half-destroyed spaceship was headed for one of the most populace planets? And if spaceships take off vertically, how did they find a 12-mile runway to land said hunk of spacecraft on?...(yes, I know...just a movie)...
And lastly, unparalleled visuals. Yeah, I guess I agree here. But I'd have been REALLY impressed if they were unperpendiculared visuals.
