The cast isn't perfect, as Natalie Portman just doesn't feel like the right person to fill Padme. The Phantom Menace feels more modern, and more technological compared to the original trilogy. Not to mention, this is Star Wars's most political movie yet with trade federations that no one really enjoys.

The movie's most hated character, Jar Jar Binks, who is a clumsy and ridiculous guy, plays a key role into advancing the plot. The plot advancing shouldn't be because of the most hated character of the Star Wars universe.

Otherwise, not an enjoyable film.
