Point taken.  That was actually a movie that left me wanting more in the
theatre after it was done.  But then I expected that when I went to go
see it.

I think this whole series of movies is going to peter out
here after this one.  We'll probably see the last one in the list
released to lackluster acceptance even more than Episode I.  It's a
shame really - I think people expect too much because they want the
same feelings they had when they saw Star Wars for the first time -
and in this day and age it's very hard to get magic to repeat itself.
