I still think it's way better than 2 though. 2 suffers the most because it has to spend time setting that crap up. Plus it suffers from a horrible script. The first half of the movie is really boring, and the whole thing is poorly paced. I won't harp on the dialogue, but yea. I love great Star Wars action, but the action really has nothing behind it in 2. Just sort of cool action scenes strung together.
Feels like every fight and action sequence in Episode 3 and the original trilogy is all worth something and advances the story.
The best parts of 2 are definitely Obi Wan being a detective. The end battles are definitely good action but like I said, I felt they were sort of shallow.
Plus Episode 2 just feels cheap in so many places. I can't really put my finger on it, but the acting, effects and the overall look and feel of the movie just feels different from the others a lot of times. Like a really high budget SyFy channel movie or something. Not that bad but it just doesn't feel like a Lucas film. Too crisp and artificial looking or something. Hard to explain in words.
