For me, TPM "felt" more like it was in the same universe as the OT than AOTC does. I'm wondering if it's because AOTC is more reliant upon CG than physical effects and models, whereas TPM is more like the Special Editions of the OT insofar as that it used more physical models, costumes, and physical setpieces than the whole OT combined and then was supplemented with CG. Whereas AOTC was shot digitally and a lot of stuff was created purely digitally, e.g. Yoda, the clone troopers, Coruscant.
I think that's my primary knock against AOTC, besides what I say below:

Actually, and I hate to say this because I love Natalie Portman, but the movie shows much better when you skip most of the Padme-Anakin scenes -- particularly the love scenes. God, they're awful. It's been 9 years and I'm still trying to figure out exactly why Padme fell in love with Anakin in the first place. Seriously, it was not his charm, his way with words or his maturity. LOL
The rest of the movie is just like Wookie said. I just don't get the AOTC hate. |
AOTC would be a lot better film, IMO, if it excised most of the Anakin and Padme scenes. Especially the fireplace scene. It lacks any sort of subtlety to it that would make it more organic and believable. If there was simply sexual tension without any overt discussion of it beyond "I shouldn't have done that" after Padme kisses Anakin, it works a lot better. As it is in the film, it's as if Lucas is holding the audience's hand as though they won't just accept that a romance between Anakin and Padme is something that shouldn't be undertaken and consequently beats the audience over the head with this fact. The scene on the refugee frigate about attachment being forbidden should be enough, we don't need Anakin crying about how he wishes he could wish away his feelings.

Poor AotC. So much hate.
IMO the whole fireside scene and the whole meadow pinic scene ought to have been deleted from the movie. I'm hoping both scenes will be magically absent from the Blu-Ray version of Episode II.
