Clones is horrible.
I kinda like Phantom Menace.
Well, the computer-generated (motion capture?) Clone troopers are an eyesore and a mistake indeed. Both
Clones
and
Sith
were shot on 2K digital cameras, whereas
Menace
was shot on 35mm anamorphic, plus the the first prequel had a much lower CG-to-practical
radio
of special effects than the later two. It's understandable that some people would prefer Episode I over Episode II or even III. -

When I rank Clones and Menace I have to weight the pros and cons of each.
Sure, Menace has Jar Jar and Jake Lloyd - who are both just awful. But, they aren't the real focus of the story. So, looking past those two, you get an ok story, and Lucas's dialogue isn't as noticeable as it is in Clones and Sith. You also get a fun Podrace and a cool finale, plus Darth Maul.
Now Clones, you get Hayden and Portman's hamfists shtfest of dialogue shoved into every orifice. The "I don't like sand" line alone is worse than anything Jar Jar has ever done. Plus nothing really cool happens. The arena fight is kinda forced, Fett does nothing, and then Yoda pinballs around Tyranus for too long. meh. Balls of meh.
These violent delights have violent ends. -

I will say that Clones is probably my least rewatched one, but we did get to see Kamino which was pretty cool, the tension between Deckard, ahem, Obi-Wan and Jango as they both are onto each other right after the former seeing the clones, an actual fist fight in the rain, those cool sonic bomb things, Anakin searching, finding and avenging his mother, Obi-Wans interrogation aaaand Uh, well that's about it. Still though!
Oh and some shots of the clones battling droids were cool.

Anakin searching, finding and avenging his mother
This is a negative. I think another actor may have been able to pull this off, maybe. But this scene was horrible.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Clearly you need medical support and fast!
Jar Jar Binks is an abomination and it's 10000000000 times worse than anything you've described.

This 1,000 times over. I preach this all of the time. Both are the two worst Star Wars movies, but Clones is the worst. The acting was terrible. You described it perfectly.
Also, sorry Harry, but agree about the sand line. That is the scene I show everyone when they say it was a good movie.

Sorry Christian but that's so wrong it's not even funny.
The sand line is totally irrelevant, nobody cares about it. Yet Jar Jar Binks is a notorious abomination.
And Attack of the Clones is way better than The Phantom Menace.

Thats not much of a personality
Same with the rest of the one note characters
Its weird you say this. Since TFA has Finn and Rey. Some of the flattest and inconsistent characters in the Star Wars universe. -

He's a blind monk who can feel the Force, but isn't able to actually use it. It's why he's such a good fighter.
I imagine that's like being a really good boxer and not being able to fight because you've got one arm. Any other person in the galaxy would most probably hate the fact that they can feel the Force, but can't use it, whereas he embraces it.
He's definitely more interesting than Jyn who was your standard ''hates-authority-because-of-my-daddy-issues'' heroine.
I don't know what's more worrying. This job or your past. -

Like I said, Poe and Finn had great chemistry (which is ironic to hear this as a positive since one of the critiques of TFA was that Finn and Poe's chemistry was forcedno pun intended). But the characters of R1 did too. Was it as good? Maybe not. But they weren't friends, they shared a common goal. Jyn, K2, and Cassian I thought were great on screen together.

Yeah I remember reading that, they gave off that vibe of two random people just barely escaping enemy territories together, that's why I had no issues with it at all.
I thought they were fine in Rogue One, but if there's one complaint I'll have it's that they still could've been more fleshed out. Just a bit.
