As a movie, TPM works a lot better than Attack of the clones. I am one of the few that thinks 1 and 3 are both decent movies. Nowhere near as good as the original trilogy. But decent. 2 is absolute garbage though. And Dooku would have been an alright villain if they didnt kill him off immediately in 3 and replace him with a coughing robot. Him being Qui-Gon's master was kind of interesting but they never even delved into that.

Yeah, while I still think Episode I is terrible, II is much worse. It may be the single worst love story ever put to screen. Seriously, how the hell did Padme fall in love with this psychopath? He's just a whinny bitch who openly goes on a megalomaniacal rant about butchering women and children. Unless Padme is a depraved sadist, then their relationship makes no sense.

Plus the "droids vs clones" might be the worst idea ever for a war.
