What more can I say? Great movie. Great addition to the series.
I have to admit to having a few questions over certain parts on the first viewing - even though I do not think Phantom wasnt as bad as many people now say, I had let all the talk make me overly critical. After the first viewing I loved it but wasnt sure if the love story worked or if the overall balance of the movie was right - but I'm now sure I was just nit-picking. For anyone feeling similarly I recommend holding judgement till you see it again, it really makes the difference. On the 2nd viewing it flowed brilliantly and the love story clicked - didnt seem awkward at all and C3POs jokes sounded great too.
There you may have the major difference - Clones gets better after repeat viewing whereas Phantom didnt fair so well.
Can't wait to see it again.
