My thoughts exactly.

I saw it Friday afternoon.  Hated it.

He was in it right towards the end.  He didn't speak ... thank goodness.

I was quite disappointed with episode III.  Granted Palpatine had
many many years to warp Anakin's mind, however ... Anakin's fall from light
to dark just wasn't believable.  

He had a nightmare...big deal.  I've had several during my life.  

BTW, did anyone else catch the major timeline screwup that Lucas blatantly
put in this movie?  Granted it's obscure, but he should have watched "Return
of the Jedi" prior to writing this script.  Just pitiful.  I would tell you
what it is, but it would definitely be a spoiler.

Overall, the movie was disappointing, annoying, and totally unbelievable.
