Anakin commits mass murder on the planet. He clearly jumps to the Dark Side by killing women and children. There is NO indication given that the Emperor has been prodding him to go there. He is apparently just an evil person.
You can kind of get past that because, after all, he is Darth Vader. But, what is Amidala's excuse? After Anakin tells her about his actions, she responds by hugging him and ignoring it. Next week on Oprah, Mass Murderers and the Queens who love them.
I do not think this part of the movie is going to hold up very well. In fact, it may lead to a big backlash.
And also, where IS any interaction between the Emperor and Anakin? There is ONE scene of them together where it is implied that they have been talking. Anakin seems to be jumping to the Dark Side all by himself just because bad things are happening to him.
Pay attention to anybody who is raving about this movie. They may not have any critical faculties left in their system.

I'm getting more infuriated with this movie.

I'm not raving. I'm ranting.
