Well that's not even close to being remotely true. The Naboo landscape = excellent, beautiful. The speeder chase on Coruscant between Obi-Wan/Anakin and the Bounty Hunter = riveting. Ewan McGregor's acting as Obi-Wan = brilliant.

No, McGregor's acting was very good by the standard of the acting displayed in the film, but it was hardly brilliant. McGregor never manages to connect you to the character to the degree the OT actors managed with theirs.

The Naboo landscape generally looked artificial and everything was overly prettied up. Too much sweetsy. So many locations in the prequels are just not realized with the same force of imagination as the locations in the OT.

The chase in Coruscant wasn't bad, but it was hardly riveting -the characters were insufficiently emotionally involved themselves, which cut down on the audience's involvement, though it was one of the most involving parts of the film.
