I really think that there are many die hard fans of the original three who see the new Star Wars movies just to pick them apart and whine that "George Lucas has lost the plot", etc... As a Star Trek fan, I see the same thing happen with each new series of Star Trek that comes out, some fans just refuse to enjoy it. They simply whine and complain about any little problem they can find. Get over it! Stop looking at the problems and enjoy the many good points.
Yes, Episode I was rather ordinary and Jar Jar Binks is the worst ever character. However, I think Episode II is just as good as the original trilogy. The main problem (if you can call it a problem) is that you really need to see all other Star Wars episodes or at least Episode I for this to make sense. Apart from this, the dialog is no where near as bad as some people here would like you to believe, the same goes for the romance story. While both these aspects of the movie have their problems, they aren't exactly terrible either. As for the special effects, they look even better than Episode I. However, the most important part is the story. While it may seem a bit disjointed on its own, when you look at it from the overall Star Wars series of movies it makes a lot of sense and it is very good.
When you see this movie (and I highly recommend it), make sure you see it with an open mind and not as a fan of the original trilogy who just wants to pick it apart. It really is a great movie and well worth the entry price.
