I heard a Kevin Smith interview today on the Kroq 106.7 morning show. He discussed a number of films current and future (Daredevil, Spiderman), and mentioned that he saw AOTC yesterday. I don't have an exact quote, but to paraphrase:

"AOTC absolutely rocks. I loved it. I've seen a number of critical reviews in newspapers and on television, and I couldn't disagree more. I'm just a total fanboy on this one." Kevin went on a bit with additional praise, indicating the story was well written, the romance worked nicely, and in particular the tie-in to the overall mythos was very strong. He said the Yoda/Count Dooku battle was a show stealer. One last interesting comment he made was that he enjoyed Episode I, saw it only once, and didn't need/want to see it ever again, but he was already ready to see AOTC again.

KROQ often posts interviews on their site (www.kroq.com), so it may be available there before long.
