Idk. For some reason, Attack is the only Star Wars film I never feel compelled to watch. I guess Attack.

Episode II for the whole Padme + Anakin love thing. It killed the entire movie. I can't watch it all the way through because I'm always fastforwarding through the cheesy love stuff. I mean, c'mon the scene when they're out in the meadow?

I've stayed away from both of them. No way are two crappy films ruining the trilogy for me.

Phantom Menace just flat out sucked. Granted, Attack of the Clones wasn't much better.

They're both great films. Honestly, what is wrong with them?

Attack of the Clones has really lousy acting and the story is not very compelling at all. Phantom Menace was cooler because of Darth Maul and Qui Gon (sp?) but that is about it. I can't really feel anything positive about the whole trilogy. But hey to each their own. I can understand people liking the 1 and 3, but Clones licks volleyballs.

Menace sucked bad because it wasn't exciting at all. But as mentioned above, Clones wasn't much better.

Attack of the Clones seemed to pass me by. I think of it as a film to simply make up numbers.

For me, Phantom Menace was worse, because I was just not prepared for how bad it was going to be. After seeing it, I was much better braced for the horrors of Attack. And it's always a good time to pull out a list of Star Wars innuendo. Highlights: - "Get in there you big furry oaf, I don't care what you smell!" - "Luke, at that speed do you think that you'll be able to pull out in time?" - "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought." - "I thought that hairy beast would be the end of me." - "I must've hit it pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that, huh kid?" - "And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!" - "Hey Luke, thanks for coming after me -- now I owe you one." - "Back door huh? Good idea!" - "Wedge! Pull out! You're not doing any good back there!"

At least Ep.1 was entertaining, even if it didn't have much of a plot, and most of the characters were annoying. Ep.2 was terribly boring, the plot sucked, and the charcters were still annoying.

Both were awful and George Lucas should be ashamed for making them. However, making a choice between the two I would have to say that the Phantom Menace was better, mainly because it didn't have that cretin Hayden Christensen acting in it.

Neither one was all that bad, but 1 felt like the target audience was 9 year olds.

Attack of the Clones is slightly better. But neither are better than getting your eye gouged out with a rusty spoon that's been set on fire.

Just watch em and enjoy. Die hard Star wars fans only have themselves to blame for these movies. If there weren't so many original trilogy fans, GL probably would never have made the new trilogy.

The acting in the Phantom Menance was just atrocious. The Clones wasn't much better, but I'd say menace was the worst of the two.

what would you like them to do? just do it and have luke and leia. It needed to happen for the story to make sense...

I don't think people are complaining about the existence of the love story, but rather the execution. The cold, dead expressions of love and the fact that them being "in lurve" just came out of nowhere with no actual development.

Well imo Phantom Menace is the best one, so I go with Attack. It was good, just not as good as most of the others in the series. Fight with Obi Wan and Jango Fett was unbelievable though :).

There needs to be an option for "They both sucked equally." Because they did.

But it was so cheesy.

Anakin: Don't be afraid.
Padme: I'm not afraid to die. I've been dying a little bit each day since you came back into my life.
Anakin: What are you talking about?
Padme: I love you.
Anakin: You love me? I thought we had decided not to fall in love. That we'd be forced to live a lie and that it would destroy our lives.
Padme: I think our lives are about to be destroyed anyway. I truly... deeply... love you and before we die I want you to know.

The only good thing to come out of AotC was the Yoda fight sequence.

Phantom Menace was worse, despite an entertaining few battle scenes.
