Greivous is awesome in the novel... I was hugely disapointed with him in the movie. As proof that George is not (unfortunately) any sort of decent writer, I found the book much more captivating in terms of dialouge than the movie.
Example: When Palpatine admits to being a Sith Lord.
Movie:
Anakin: "You're a Sith Lord"
Palpatine: "And?"
Book:
Anakain: "You're a Sith Lord"
Palpatine: "Yes, I am. I am also your friend."
It's not just a matter of one sounding better, either. They present different characters. In the book, I could see Anakin falling. Palpatine was crafty and subtle. In the movie, he basically said "Join the Dark Side" a bunch of times and Anakin did it.
Also, I hated the droids. All of them. The battle droids acting like two years olds (honestly, would you program your armies to feel FEAR?). R2 defeating two Super Battle Droids? Droids conversing like humans?
WTF?
Other than the dialouge (terrible almost all the way through) and the acting (how George can destroy such talent I don't know), it was a good movie. But it wasn't really Star Wars... tweak it a little, and you have a generic Sci-Fi action movie like the countless others churned out by Hollywood.
