Looks like I'm going to follow the (nerf?) herd on this one.
An 8 it is.
I think Jar Jar was a bit irritating, but you get used to him.
but did have a few let downs revolving around Anakin,
Yep, that's why it didn't get a nine or even a ten.
On the up side, I really enjoyed Liam Neeson's portrayal of Qui-Gon, and the 'Duel of the Fates' duel was one of the great sci-fi battles of all time, IMO.
All in all, I don't consider TPM to be the let down that many have accused it of being, expectations were high and it was inevitable that it would have it's critics. I, myself, am a dyed-in-the-wool OT fan, but I wouldn't let that stop me from enjoying TPM, and I was blown away when I first saw it.
I'm still in therapy... :D
