I never thought I would say this, but TPM is a decent film; AotC on the other, is a sloppy love/mystery/space opera that can't decide what it wants to be. Skip the entire movie up to the arena scene; that's AotC's only reason for existing. True. TPM may have had kid Anakin, Jar Jar, Midochlorians, and a boringly structured story, but it's still a decent flick that can be skipped. It's not like it sets up anything important. Nothing is revealed, Darth Maul is a throwaway villain, and we never see Naboo again. In AotC we hear this, "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth." TPM is one of George Lucas' worst, yes. But AotC might as well be a parody. All of Lucas' worst faults are revealed.

I take back everything negative I said about AotC. I just watched it again, and it is now one of my favorite Star Wars movies. I don't know why, but everything finally "clicks." It probably also helped that I was in a good mood, and on an emotional high coming off of ,"Kaiju Daisenso (1965).
In addition, I plugged in , "The Empire Strikes Back," after AotC, and it looked even better thanks to some of the plot points expanded upon in AotC - namely Anakin's power and recklessness on full display to contrast with Luke's own brash wilfulness.
All-in-all, the prequel trilogy deserves a second, less critical look. Believe me, it will be rewarding.
