I wathced AOTC again last night to work myself up for ROTS. I was again reminded about what I liked and didn't like about the movie.
Since there are so many threads where some people are bashing the movie while others then defend it, I would rather try and concentrate on the positive side of the movie. So what did you like about AOTC?
Feel free to include negative things about the movie to compare it to the parts you did like.

I have to admit, AOTC is my least favorite of all 5 movies. It's taken me a long time to warm up to it, and there are many things I do like about it.
1. The Soundtrack. Haunting and Beautiful.
2. Coleman Trebor. My second favorite character of the PT just behind Darth Maul.
3. Count Dooku. Always been a Christopher Lee fan.
4. The Tusken Slaughter. The most important scene of the movie.
5. Yoda vs. Dooku. Classic.
6. The final scene where Palps is over looking what will become the Empire.
7. The Clone Troopers. Super Cool.
8. The sound fx on the transport ships.
9. The Battle of Geonosis.
10.The Cloning Facility
11.Jango vs. Obiwan.
12.Yoda and the Younglings. I like the humor, lighting, and music in the scene.

Obiwan, private eye... SFX, VFX and CGI etc action type stuff. That's about it really. Star Wars has always been about popcorn chomping fun at the movies, not much more than that.

I love Dooku! He to me is so much cooler and more powerful not to mention interesting than Maul. Dooku seems more like a Star Wars villain than Pokemon

I don't care if you find AOTC your least favorite of the five, you've just earned 5000000000000000 respect points from me 
Oh, there are MANY things I love about AOTC, so this is only scratching the surface:
1. The story. Chillingly brilliant.
2. Anakin. Yes, ANAKIN. IMO, Hayden did an amazing job.
3. Obi-Wan. Now I always picture him as Ewan instead of Alec.
4. Kamino. I LOVE RAIN 
5. The final action sequence--behind only 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and last year's The Incredibles.
6. Count Dooku.
7. Qui-Gon's bodiless cameo 
8. The visuals--the best the saga has to offer.
9. Across the Stars... **Gets weepy**
10. Yoda vs. Dooku
11. COLEMAN TREBOR!!!!!

Actually, there's very little that I don't like about it. Just stuff that I think needs improving - bits of dialogue here and there, places where plot details need tweaked, some massive editing fixes, stuff like that. The characters really left an impression on me. Anakin Skywalker actually knocked his son out of position of "favorite character" thanks to this movie. :-)

Okay, I admit that the score for AOTC was really good (John Williams wrote a good score....stop the presses!!!), but aside from that, the best thing about AOTC, by FAR, was.....

I doubt it, considering the, erm, changes she's gone through. Plus, I imagine they probably have her in more muted coloring, likely to reflect that her role has taken a more secondary course to Anakin's.
You have to hand it to the AOTC moviegoers. They did a great job of taking Trimph's biting humor in stride.

I liked first half of the movie. I usually like detective stories, so my favourite part is when Obi-Wan investigates murder attempt.Love story was OK, I don't know why people hate it so much.

i really liked all the subtle things that happened. For example, on the refugee ship, Anakin tells Padme that she is "exactly how i remember you in my dreams," and then he slightly nods reassuringly to himself, telling himself that he said the right thing.
I also LIKED the picnic scene (except for the cow part--that was just annoying)...it just seemed like a nice conversation (in comparison to the scene with the fire--yucky)
Kamino was awesome, i love rain.
Yoda was just cool
and jango rocked the world.

What I liked:
Hmmm....
Uhhh....
Well....
*scratches head*
Ehh...Ewan was an outstanding Obi-Wan. And, ehhh...Anakin's "I hate them!!!!" line was pretty cool.
And for reference...what I didn't like.
Natalie Portman. Worst acting job ever in a Star Wars film. She doesn't really care about SW. Its just a paycheck to her...and it shows.
Hayden. Not as bad as Portman. He showed flashes of brilliance in AOTC. Not really his fault...he didn't write the script.
Yoda fighting. Supposedly one of the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy. I guess swordsmanship wasn't his forte. I noticed that what Yoda wasn't flipping around, his only attack was to slash at Dooku's knees.
Lee's stunt double does the same block down around his knees over and over. This fight could have been so much better.
Obi-Wan&Anakin vs. Dooku. Two acclaimed Jedi, one sinister ex-Jedi. The recipe for a classic lightsaber duel, right? Wrong.
And most of all. George's addiction to CGI crack.

Basically everything. I like how they have serious scenes with Obi-Wan doing investigates to the Padme and Anakin scenes. Sure they kiss and flirt a whole lot, but i liked how it seemed Anakin had an easier assignment. I mean, all he has to do is keep Padme from dying and Obi-Wan had the tougher one.
I also like the bickering between Anakin and Obi-Wan, especially in the arena where Anakin is being taken to his execution pole. Read my sig to see why that bickering is my fav.
(Besides the "I have you now!" line, read the rest of my sig to find out why it's so cool to me.
