I don't know why TPM gets so much hate. AOTC is by far the worst Star Wars movie. Worst SFX of the saga as well when it comes to blue screen.

Compared to Attack of the Clones, The Phantom Menance is very good. It has arguably the best lightsaber duel of the prequel trilogy, lacks the god awful romance sub-plot, and actual has dialogue that at least somewhat resembles how real people actually speak.

My main beef was how they tried so hard to shoehorn Anakin's "piloting skill" with the podrace scene followed by the "YIPEEE!" scene after he blows up the trade federation battleship. They totally neglect this in Attack of the Clones and then during Episode 3, they're like, "Oh yeah, we gotta show everyone what a good pilot Anakin is" when he uses the side of his fighter to scrape off the vulture droids from Obi-Wan's ship.

The biggest problem with Episode 1 was that it's just too far removed from Episodes 2 and 3. Episode 1 should've been the start of the clone wars.
