I agree. I saw the movie at 12:01, and then again at 9:15pm, and I enjoyed it more the second time. Granted, the second movie had a better crowd (not a lot of clapping at the 12:01 showing), but once you get past the high expectations and just enjoy the movie, it really is good.
One other thing I think people don't consider is that Lucas is expecting to do two more movies. That wasn't the case with the first Star Wars. Lucas didn't really know if he was going to make the other two. So if you look at it as a movie that's setting the foundation, it'll probably be a lot better when the next two have come and gone. Of course, most of us will see it a lot anyway, so in the grand scheme it probably doesn't matter.
