I'm guessing the boring part. If so I agree with Alex, Qui-Gon was far from boring.
He was quite fun to watch when he was putting on a show to trick other aliens, like when he's clowning around with Watto (don't forget to deceivingly roll your eyes as if you were just making up the bet on the fly, Qui-Gon - Watto might otherwise not believe it!), or when they were both scaring Jar Jar into showing them the city (hell, do I LOVE that little moment), or when he was teasing Padmé on Tattoine.
There was the occasional nice touche like his annoyed face at Obi-Wan's "lame joke", or when Obi-Wan starts talking about "symbiont circles" and Qui-Gon's subtly like "oh, boy, now he's all over it again again, he likes doing that doesn't he... but hey, let him be, that'll help convince this stupid fat bastard so heck".
Did emanate some fatherly warmth in his scenes with Anakin.
But that's like, dunno, 20 percent of the movie or something, and when your character's at his best and most interesting when he's putting on a show IN-CHARACTER, it's not really a good sign.
Most of the time, he just looks cool with his beard and says his lines in a boring, monotone way, just like everyone else. Pretty much every last bit where he's involved in Naboo's politics, he's a complete cardboard cut-out. Even in his discussions with Obi-Wan, or his scenes with the Council, doesn't he manage to put any character or passion into anything he says or does.
Sure, leaps above Padmé, he was, but other than that...
Sorry man, but the only character in the prequels who can be boring and make that look cool, is Palpatine. With him, you just know the whole time that he's faking, faking, faking it! 'Nuff sed.
