Better than The Phantom Menace,
First off, only buy the DVD, because the VHS does not have commentary. This sucks without commentary due to the awful screenplay George Lucas and Jonathan Hales concocted and Hayden Christensen's acting. I did however think the visual effects were good. With the commentary you have no horrible acting by Christensen and avoid Lucas and Hales' screenplay. But, I must say I hated Christensen's acting, Lucas and Hales' screenplay more than I liked more then I liked Rob Coleman, Pablo Helman, John Knoll and Ben Snow's visual effects. By the way, I normally do not go for commentaries. The commentary includes interviews with Lucas [Writer/Executive Producer/Director/Editor (no credit)], Rick McCallum [Producer], Ben Burtt [Sound Designer/Supervising Sound Editor/Editor], Rob Coleman [Animation Director: ILM], Pablo Helman [Visual Effects Supervisor], John Knoll [Visual Effects Supervisor] and Ben Snow [Visual Effects Supervisor: ILM]. The commentary is the only way to watch Star Wars II. Trust me, as Indiana Jones would say.
