Seriously, take some time out and watch the Plinkett reviews on YouTube. Best breakdowns of why the prequels are inferior movies.
They apply a myriad of variables to give the illusion of plot holes and nonsensical character actions.
"Have to say, Jimmy - you turned into a real impressive fighter. If I was ol' Mengsk, I'd be runnin' scared from you, too."
"You really mean that, Tychus?"
"Nah. I was just kiddin'." -

I thought it was pretty bad myself. And i'm not one of those people who's a Star Wars fanatic in love with the original trilogy and automatically prejudiced against the prequels. I only saw the Star Wars movies for the first time over the last few weeks and had no preconceived opinions towards either the original trilogy or the prequels. I liked the original trilogy, didn't LOVE it the way hardcore Star Wars fans do but I thought it was pretty cool and entertaining. Having said all that, I feel that objectively the prequels are pretty lousy. Episode I wasn't the worst though; Episode II was. I did like Liam Neeson, but only because he's Liam Neeson; he didn't really do much. Obi Wan was dull as a chalkboard (though he improved in II and III). I don't know who was smoking what when they came up with Jar Jar Binks but that had to be one of the worst decisions in filmmaking history. The whole story I felt was poorly thought out and poorly written, and the dialogue was lousy and sometimes cringeworthy (though not as much as it would become in Episode II). I gave Phantom Menace 5/10 on imdb. Not the worst movie ever made, but definitely not good. Just "meh".

I agree with that.

It's not a great movie, but it's not a terrible movie. The lightsabre fight was very exciting at the time, though it lacked a lot of the emotion that Luke and Vader's battles had.
So many stories, so little time.
