TPM gets thrown out like the baby in the bath water because of Jar Jar which is a fair enough reason but if you ignore his presence the movie is closer to good than any of the other PT movies.
I find Jake Lloyd to be twice as annoying as Jar Jar. I can mentally fanedit Jar Jar from the movie as I watch it. He's annoying fluff to be sure, but he's not the main event.
Hayden is terrible at his best, but I didn't find him as out of place as Jake Lloyd.
