Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones

I have this running in a small window while I'm working. Anakin is a brat. Obi Wan is hot. Padme is hot. Mace Windu is hot. Yoda is Haaaaaat. you actually have to give a fair bit of respect to the actors in this movie (Hayden Christiansen excepting) sheerly because they spend most of their time standing in front of a green screen talking to nothing in particular.
All-in-all it's not as bad as we like to make it out to be. Yes, there are alot of really crappy character moments, alot of unconvincing dialogue, and alot of see-through moments, but in many ways it's more fun than Episode I. Strange as it may be, I actually like the two new Star Wars movies. I've gotten over what I want them to be and am just accepting them for what they are. The only REAL flaw that Episode II sufferes from is Hayden Christiansen's whining. Sure you have the Blade Runner rip offs and the wasted time and pointless characters, but you also have Yoda, Mace Windu, Yoda, lightsabers, Yoda, and Yoda.
I always pictured Anakin as being a little more slick.
