Camillu tells us about a midnight screening in Malta:

Just got back from the only Midnight screening here on the island of Malta. The cinema was packed just like 3 years ago, only this time we left feeling we had watched a much better film. The film really picked up in the 2nd half and by the end of it you could hear the audience gasping and getting involved. I really liked the few humorous lines that really worked and the audience reactions for those were great too.

(Highlight to read) The final confrontation was great especially when Yoda gets involved.Things are fitting nicely into place and the film sure leaves you yearning for Ep. 3. I much preferred it to TPM, especially dialogue wise. Hayden also did a great job as Anakin, and I thought his protrayal was very chilling at times, especially when he wrecks havoc on the Tusken raiders. Great stuff.
