So I rewatched this and found it not as terrible as I used to think. The pacing is excellent. No scene really drags on. Anakin and Padme's romance is beautifully intertwined with exciting Obi-Wan's investigation. Shmi's funeral, even if it is a very short scene, features best Hayden's acting in the movie.
For some reason though the CGI looks outdated, much more than in TPM.
It was the first film to be fully shot on digital, as opposed to film with CG rendered on top. Revenge of the Sith suffers in the same way and gives that “soap opera” appearance. George gets a lot of flack, but he pushed digital into the mainstream.

Merchandise for the prequels made Billions! Disney nu wars, by contrast, hasn't and never will make a dime! Disney Star Wars is dead!
You should check out the Hal9000 edits of the prequels if you enjoyed the love story arc. He added back a bunch of pretty pivotal scenes that for whatever reason were left on the cutting room floor.
And last but not least Padme was fucking sexy in this movie

>>From the moment I met you all those years ago not a day has gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now that I'm with you again... I'm in agony. The closer I get to you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you... I can't breathe. I'm haunted by the kiss that you should never have given me. My heart is beating, hoping that that kiss will not become a scar. You are in my very soul... tormenting me. What can I do? I will do anything that you ask. If you are suffering as much as I am, please, tell me. >youtube.com/watch?v=7wMiMDBHnJ0 Why are boomers so insistent that I dislike this movie?
