It really contrasts the originals as being sorta Star Wars, but at the same time being more like a mythological legend, which seems like a good atmosphere for the "Mysterious youth" of anakin skywalker.
Episode II simply works to translate those fantastical things more thoroughly into the "modern" Star Wars universe.
well..this is a tough one for me as I think both movies were missed opportunities. But the sickly mushy drivel between padme and anakin in Ep2, the lengthy and unengaging political dialogue, the ridiculous flying car chase sequence, the badly put together cgi when anakin rides the back of that creature thing. The room packed full of children with a working light sabre each to train with, the side-splitting death of anakins mother who amazingly and coincidentally dies 5 minutes after he finds her...oh I could go on but I wont. Anyway.....thus I opt for Ep1 as being the better of the two. Even if I do have to suffer the cartoonish antics of jar jar non-stop throughout the movie.
GL...if you're reading this...get a yourself a goddam script editor for gods sake. Oh ..and a director would be nice. (one other than you).
Darth Maul was a shit alright. a shitty villian.he looked like one of those wrestlers out of WWF.the phantom menace sucked worse than ATTACK OF THE CLONES.at least Darth Maul was not in AOTC.
AOTC was worse. TPM had the least blue/green screens in it, and he filmed in Tunisia, so I have to give Lucas some props for that. Both still contradict the OOT in horrible ways.

i love ep. 2 and its for the reason that most hate it, i dont know why but the ani-padme story line is what gets me liking it, i thought pretty much all of obi's moments in the film were boring--kamino, etc. but the chessy love stuff does it for me, that and the fact that we finally saw a whole bunch of jedi in action at once
