Clones

Good points:

Portman
green-skinned, abdomen baring Jedi girl
slinky, tall, skinny cloners
kid who played young Boba Fett
YODA!
fight sequences

Bad points:

Annakin has apparently grown up to be pouty, whiny, petulant, and even more wooden in speech and acting than he was as an eight year old
the writing
the direction (save for the fight scenes)
JAR JAR!
pretty much all the rest

There are times in movies when I'm simply amazed at how an excellent ensemble cast and all sorts of technical merits becomes wholly anti-synergistic (Coppola's "Dracula" being a prime example). Lucas seems to have found that "magic". Telling signs: an un-full theater on opening night; the crowd making jokes at the expense of the movie; guy talking with friends on the way out, "George Lucas is burning in hell".

I didn't hate it. It wasn't as bad as Phantom Menace. I'm glad that when I did see it, it was on the big screen. I even had some not unpleasant dealings with Relative Worth Anything and consort (consort has historically been, putting it kindly, very squirrely). It wasn't a bad evening, but there were certainly better ways I could have spent it.

But....

Portman
green-skinned, abdomen baring Jedi girl (you have to pay attention to see her, but I thought it was worth it; I blame too much Star Trek as a kid)
YODA!
