He could have been ****ing awesome if someone else had fleshed him out but as it stands, he's just the Boba Fett of the prequels. Cool looking with little substance.

There was a book written after the movie that fleshed out his character a little bit more with stuff that happened pre-Episode 1. All in all he was just a big badass, not really a deep backstory like Han Solo or the like.
I just wished they would have fleshed out Dooku a lot more, given he played the central role in the Clone Wars plot. You'd think they would tell us in the movies that Dooku was at one point Yoda's star padawan and deserted the Jedi because he didn't agree with the light side limitations, but they didn't because the script was written by a reeruned chimp.
