Some of the design work is really cool, especially on Naboo.

It's a shame about the story and acting and dialogue and characters, really.

Thirteen year old me who very much liked younger Ewan McGregor in that movie begs to differ.

nope. Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson are good.

the costumes are good.

the music is good.

the plot makes decent linear sense, podrace notwithstanding.

like, I feel like most of the TPM hate has always been, from 1999 on, "this isn't A New Hope I don't like change and Jar Jar sucks." but TPM hate from 1999 on is why I'm no longer a Star Wars fan. Thanks fanboys you ruined it.

Fanboys go too far but there are serious problems with the movie beyond just Jar-Jar. The plot makes linear sense, yeah, but that doesn't mean that it works as a plot in terms of character motivations and narrative. And in fact, it's pretty deeply flawed on that level. Fundamentally, it's trying to tell two different stories - the story of Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan/Amidala/the Trade Federation, and the story of Anakin. It doesn't do a good job of joining them together at all - it basically just chunks the Anakin storyline into the whole middle third of the film - and it also doesn't do a very good job with the Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan/Amidala storyline in terms of giving us coherent, compelling reasons to care about the story, or motivations for the characters. The Trade Federation are terrible villains, as well.

I do think it gets a bad rap for a lot of things that aren't really problems. But I also think that there are reasons that people hate it besides being idiot fanboys.

And then when TFA was A New Hope, people got whiny about that, too.
