SWE2 is far superior to The Phantom Menace.

Rating: 5/10 (16 May 2002)

ATTACK OF THE CLONES is a return to the feel of the original trilogy. The characters and the story are far more interesting. The weaknesses are definitely in the dialogue and the acting between the two leads, Christensen and Portman, especially during the love story scenes. But the rest of the film is very entertaining, with striking visuals and memorable scenes. The action sequences, from chases to lightsabre battles (especially with Yoda), is Star Wars at it's best. I would place the film as my third favorite in the series behind EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and STAR WARS.
