It had it's good points. A few things were competently done. Most, though, were done with incompetence so blatant, I was wincing the entire film.
RotS was better than the other two prequels; that's not exactly saying much. I also found it to be an exceptionally bad movie - not only in comparison to the original trilogy, but in its own right. And I admit to a certain sense of frustration seeing a lot of people adoring this particular movie, since I somehow feel like they're being taken in by hype and flashy special effects. I'm hopefully wrong on this point, as people who's taste and intelligence I admire have said how much they liked this movie. But still: BAH.
I've critiqued RotS more thoroughly on other sites, so I think I'll just link to those instead of rewriting it all.

TOTAL agreement - but I have to add, that I felt it was too unevenly paced. It takes hours over the climatic duel, and yet Anakin's conversion to the Dark Side seems to go
Anakin: I'm all angsty now! Boo-hoo!
Palpatine: Turn to the Dark Side, join me!
Anakin: No! Nae! Never!
Palpatine: We have tacos.......
Anakin: Ooh! Tacos!
