If you take out Jar Jar, The Phantom Menace is the best of the prequels. Not saying much, I know.
Well, there's Queen Amidala's ear-bleeding robot voice, Jake Lloyd's cringeworthy performance, several interminable Jedi council/senate meetings, and the overlong podrace sequence no one actually likes.
But yes TPM is the best the Prequels ever got.
