I'm not much of a fan of the prequels in general, but I'd have to say I definitely prefer TPM. To me, it was fairly well done on a fundemental level. Unfortunately it has many blemishes on the surface (Jar Jar, Jake Loydd, Nemoidian accents, ect) that sort of ruin it. But if you were to remove stuff, ala phantom edits and whatnot, then it really is a good, likeable movie. The story was sound, the tone was right, the acting was acceptable, and there were even a few real sets! It reminded me of a SW movie.

AOTC, on the other hand, is a disaster in my eyes. Everything about it just seemed thrown together. The dialogue was terrible, and actors seemed to not even be trying, the plot was gratuitous if not pointless. Then there's the decision to cgi EVERYTHING. Why on earth does the floor need to be cgi?!?! I don't know, it just seemed like George Lucas sat down at his kitchen table and hammered out the whole story/script in one night, throwing in any random thought that popped into his mind. "Hey, that's a good idea. I'll turn Yoda into a cgi ninja-monkey!! Yeah, that's the ticket!" I guess I just find AOTC fundamentally flawed in too many ways to find it even watchable. Sorry, I just like bitching.
