Attack of the Clones is the worst of the prequels. It suffers from editing, I think, which isn't surprising since Ben Burt (the sound effects guru) was the editor. With a tremendous overhaul in editing, I think the film could have been infinitely better. Many of the deleted scenes are excellent - the character moments all seem to have gotten cut! I agree that the dialogue can seem really stilted, but it's mostly with Anakin and Padme's characters. But I think part of that was intentional. Those two aren't meant to be comfortable around each other. They're much more comfortable around each other (and the dialogue reflects this) in Revenge of the Sith (which is the greatest of the six film, IMO). I also find The Phantom Menace to be excellent. Sure, some of the effects are a bit dodgy, especially the droid versus gungan battle at the end which is mostly CGI. But the story is very good. I especially love the politics of the film, and how Palpatine manipulates Queen Amidala into removing the supreme chancellor so that he can move in. In fact, the politics of all three prequel films are some of the best parts of the story. Don't get me wrong, though, I do enjoy the originals, just not as much. The Empire Strikes Back is actually my second favorite of the six, and both A New Hope and Return of the Jedi are good, but not great. One of the greatest things about the saga as a whole is the contrasts between Anakin and Luke during their journeys. Watching the films in order makes Luke's rejection of the dark side much more powerful because the audience has seen the way that Anakin fell, so Luke could easily fall as well. His triumph is more amazing knowing what he actually rejected.
