I'm through the first hour now.

TPM is smoother than ROTS as far as the narrative goes, but there are still occasional odd jumps that make little sense if you've never seen it before.  And a few hard audio transitions as well.  I forget who said it, but I agree that removing Jar Jar but leaving the splash in the water where he dove in makes no sense.  And why show them going in the water at all, since the next time we see them they are entering Theed?

On Tatooine there is one long shot with Jar Jar in it (I think rotoscoped in so he isn't walking with the rest of the party) which maybe is meant as an easter egg or something but is just distracting.  And then he shows up in Watto's shop for absolutely no reason.  Oh, and like TheBoost said, the abbreviated first discussion between Padme and Anakin is really poorly done.  It makes no sense and is really really awkward.

Like everyone else, I will admit that the removal of Jar Jar is really well done from a technical standpoint.  I did notice one or two brief instances where a bit of his audio was left in even though he was removed visually, however.

Still not impressed, but will keep going...

Treat it like a band-aid and get it over with, Frink. Or......Stop. That's actually a better option in this case.
