You know what, I think I'm actually thinking only of Phantom Menace there, which I think is by far the worst of the series. Once you get past that there's a few silly things in 2 but it's really not so bad. But I think Phantom Menace's plot just does not work as a movie plot. I think the problem is that it's kind of two unrelated plots - the Naboo plot, which meanders and seriously lacks drive & motivation, and the Anakin/Tatooine stuff, which doesn't really have any natural connection with the Naboo plot which is the nominal point of the movie. And I get the reasons that drove Lucas to do it that way but it just does not work as a movie plot at all for me.

as a random anon opinion, I think if Lucas had treated the Phantom Menace plot like he'd treated the Empire Strikes Back plot, it would have been a much better movie. The Empire Strikes back threw you into one conflict after another. Whereas Phantom Menace never felt like there was a conflict due to Jedi ex machina. (Another opinion of mine is that Amidala is the real main character of the original trilogy and not Anakin. But, digression.)
