Maybe not even a good film.
Maybe?
But it’s only really terrible when you compare it to a masterpiece like empire strikes back.
Disagree. It’s terrible compared to TPM.
Disagree with you here. TPM is nearly just as bad. They are both trainwrecks in their own lovely way. Attack of the Clones had a romantic element that is central to the story which completely fails. And TPM doesn’t even have an actual protagonist. They are both god awful movies. I just think AOTC is slightly worse.
