We had gotten Star Wars AOTC from Netflix for our son. We watched it last night, and Sir SuziQ remarked on how cheesy it seemed after having watched FoTR!
Sir SuziQ has taste. Lucas needs someone else to write the dialogue for his storylines. All his characters are like AlGore v5.0. They lurch around the scenery babbling stuff they think sounds important, desperately trying to be human and not quite making it. The special effects are in the movie not because it advances the story, but because it looks cool. Very different with LOTR. (/rant)
