I almost agree. In its current form I actually think AOTC is probably the worst of the bunch, but the story is pretty solid, perhaps more so than the other two.

The only issue is the assassination itself. If Padme is fighting for peace in the Senate and opposing the creation of a Republic army, why would the Separatists want her dead? The film offers the explanation that Gunray wants he dead out of revenge, which is pretty weak. The other interpretation is that Dooku and Palpatine want her dead because they need the clones to kill the Jedi. But if this is the case, shouldn’t the Jedi catch on? Shouldn’t they be suspicious about the assassination and the clone order?
