Oh, right -- my opinion on "Attack of the Clones: better than the last one, of course. I didn't have a huge problem with the beginning (in terms of pace). Not a classic by any means, and sure, the performances were a bit wooden and/or 1st-year-drama-studentish in parts, but the Kenobi bits make it something a bit more than mediocre.
I know that the Yoda fight at the end got shit on by some critics for it being out of character for him and whatnot... and while I do not totally disagree, when his shadow slowly entered the screen at that hanger, well, I think it was the first time in a long, long, LONG, long time that the director had some actual fun with the characters he created two decades ago.
