The fight at the end was, in my opinion, the worst of the prequels, the romance subplot was painful, Boba Fett fanservice, crappy dialogue and directing.... just a terrible movie. And the "If only..... Senator Amidala were here" scene was utterly inexcusable.
Agreed. Mas Amedaa and Palpatine's blatant moves to vote him dictatorial power in front of the damned Jedi Council was ridiculous. They could have easily filmed that by having them bring Jar Jar in with Palpatine in private and saying "We need this army, as your friend and your predecessor I need you to vote for the creation of the army." Or something like that.
TPM had Darth Maul and the best fight in the prequels. And it didn't have the stupid romance subplot... TPM is not a good movie, but it blows AotC away.

On the other hand TPM had dumbshit like General Jar Jar, the Nemoidians being actual villains (lol worthy) and 8 year old Anakin pwning the Trade Federation battleship. Not to mention that AWFUL moment of
"Always two there are, a master and an apprentice."
"But which was destroyed the master or the apprentice"
"Know not I do, but tell us the camera angle shall"
Also if I may speak heresy, I really don't like ANH. The whole Luke being comforted by Leia because the dude they just met dying when she herself just had her mother, father, and entire planet annihilated is bad writing. And in general I hate pretty much any part of the Star Wars Universe that takes place on Tatooine.
Its why ESB and ROTS are my favorites.

Not the epitome of subtlety, granted, but there's nothing gratuitous about it. And the Jedi Council, at that point, didn't oppose Palpatine's bid for emergency powers so their witnessing of Amedda duping Jar Jar isn't a big deal.
Politician Jar Jar had less screentime.
True, but at least we had Dooku controlling much of the dialogue. The shot of Palps staring at the clones was not nearly as bad. He still had Bail and other senators in the backdrop.
The Battle of Geonosis was also WAY cooler than the Naboo conflict.
Come on guys. Seriously. Attack of the Clones' only redeemable feature in the entire film was Christopher Lee, and what he brought to the table was utterly wasted by the film's shit writing.

It was, at the very least, far superior to any of the fights in AotC.
