I just saw the film and it blew away my expectations. Even though I had my right eye closed half of the time because of a bad contect lense, even though my tooth was hurting, and even though there were three incredibly annoying teenage girls right behind me, kicking my seat and talking/giggling throughout the entire picture... it simply amazed me. It was everything that I wanted and more.
As for that Vader criticism, of course it was awkard. Here we have a man who for all of our lives has been seen as the ultimate bad guy. The perfect, composed villain. And then we see him born, staggering in his new robotic body and just having found out that his wife has died. It was James Earl Jones (well, kinda) crying "NOOOO". That makes it inherently awkward.
