3. Perhaps it's akin to liking the cherries in a Cherry and Poop pie. I really like cherries... but the poop, man! The POOP!
I was just going to write an analogy of someone eating a salad filled with bugs and a few yummy cherry tomatoes, and then being asked if they enjoyed the tomatoes.
But your poop/cherry pie analogy is clearly superior.
There are some marginally-decent moments in the PT, but they would have been a lot better if they had been in different (better) movies.

Even many (most?) PT-haters admit that he [Qui Gon] was pretty good.
I like Liam Neeson a lot, and I think he's the reason that I'd have to say that TPM is the least horrible of the Prequels, but like so much else in the Prequels his talent was wasted. He just wasn't given enough to do, and it was like his character was just kind of floating around in a film had no emotional anchor for him to grab onto.
