It's baffling to see why people hate on this film as much as they do. This is the only Star Wars movie who's main character isn't a whiny brat and one that can actually act. Jake Lloyd has this natural charisma about him that allows him to portray Anakin as flawlessly as somebody could.

The supporting actors do a fine job as well and the story is well put together. For the first time in Star Wars history, the politics of interplanetary cooperation is explored and the result makes for an interesting storyline.

The best part of this movie, however, is Darth Maul, one of the more memorable villains and his parts in this movie are certainly captivating. Phantom Menace is quite an enjoyable film, although it still garners hate from many Star Wars fans.
