I consider OT superior to the PT, but I certainly enjoyed all the PT films as well. There are some stunning visual effects, I really enjoy all the machinations that go on in politics, and the lightsabre fights and other battle scenes are quite impressive. Jango Fett, General Grievous and Mace Windu are badass, and the other characters are quite interesting as well. John Williams's score is quite good too, but unfortunately his thematic development doesn't quite reach the heights of the OT scores although it comes close. Still, there are some excellent new themes such as Anakin's Theme, Trade Federation March, Duel of the Fates, Across the Stars, Grievous's Theme, Battle of the Heroes and the Lament Theme to mention a few.
The dialogue and some of the wooden acting don't bother me that much, and I tolerated the romantic and comedy elements as well. The plot jumped around a bit too much in the PT, and I think it might've been better had the story been told in a different way (maybe starting from the beginning of the Clone Wars and exploring Anakin's fall more in depth, as well as developing the villains and other characters more). Still, I enjoyed the PT and although it doesn't quite reach the magic of OT, it's still an interesting trilogy with some standout moments for a Star Wars fan like me.
