I LOVED IT!!!
Saw it last night. THIS is Star Wars! The first one didn't do much for me - the plot wasn't all that and there was no familiarity with characters, storylines, etc. Attack of the Clones brought it all together again and filled out the story. You see where Luke gets his pilot and mechanical abilities from. Padme will remind you of Leia, which she didn't in Episode I. The Imperial Storm Troopers make an appearance.
Some silliness - Shmi's death (I actually laughed out loud when she konked out), the declaration scene between Ani and Padme, the chase scene when Anakin and Obi Wan are going after assassin (if Anakin is so good that he can jump out of a moving vehicle, fall for miles, then land perfectly on his intended target, why doesn't he know that Palpatine is really a bad guy?).
I'm trying not to give too many spoilers, even though fans know how the story plays out anyway.
I'm totally stoked now about Episode III! This will be where Anakin and Padme lose that lovin' feelin', Luke and Leia are born, the Jedi get annihilated in the Clone Wars and Anakin goes to THE DARK SIDE! (dun-dun-DUH!)
Predictions For III
We'll discover that Anakin's father (who Shmi said was nonexistant but is merely a cover) was a Sith. Darth Sidious, maybe? This would explain Anakin and Luke's predilection toward the Dark Side.
During the Clone Wars, Anakin is such a tremendous warrior that he gets drunk with power. Padme is frightened of the changes in him and takes the infant twins, Luke and Leia, to their respective hiding places. Anakin kills her when she won't reveal their whereabouts, causing his final crossover to the Dark Side.''
Qui Gon Jinn will be revealed as a bad guy - that's why he didn't become at one with the force when he died and why he was so insistent on training Anakin, when everyone else had reservations.
Big roles for Boba Fett and Bail Organa. (Jimmy Smits

Yes, I am a Star Wars geek! Any other geeks want to share predictions?
