The idea of both sides of a war being worked by the same player is quite sophisticated for this sort of movie (though that’s really the basic story of the PT as a whole). It’s the bit of the trilogy where we see it most though.
All the plot notes could have worked but the script is a mess, the direction is dull, the performances are terrible, the effects are inconsistent, the mystery aspect makes as little sense as Luke’s rescue plans in ROTJ.
Also it makes more sense if Padme is chasing awkward chaste Anakin. The other way around just comes across as being really creepy especially after Anakin confesses to a brutal massacre including children FFS.
