All right, I've watched AOTC, and I didn't care for it at all. Some of you may be about to call me crazy, but I think it's an even weaker movie than TPM. This surprised me, since I don't recall thinking that way when I was younger.
Anyway... on to what I actually liked:
Ewan McGregor. I didn't think much of him in TPM, but he shines here in AOTC and obviously carries the movie.
Obi-Wan's scenes in general. He's on an assignment, tracking down information to find out what's really going on. It's actually pretty well done, and I think if you skipped past all of Anakin's scenes (blech!), you might actually have a half-decent movie.
The fight between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett on Kamino. It was nicely choreographed and believable. I especially like the part where Obi-Wan kicks Jango over the edge while still tied to him ("Oh, not good!").
Christopher Lee. He's a great actor; it's just a shame he wasn't given very good material to work with. His only particularly good scene was when he reveals the Sith to Obi-Wan, which was actually nicely done.
ROTS coming up soon...
