I think the barebones plot was ok but the story itself sucked. The Jedi look stupid throughout most of the movie, given the Sith Lord is right under their nose. The "conflict" anakin had could've been much deeper; the Jedi were corrupt and stuck in their ways, and the sith were obviously power hungry, but more open to ideas than the Jedi. There's an article somewhere about the internets on this, about how the prequels could've been a lot deeper and riveting, but George told a crap story with crap dialogue
Yes, yes, yes!!
The Jedi thing was what doomed them. They are a group of clairvoyant space wizards...and they are so blatantly outsmarted at every turn...that was an amazing slap in the face with a wet fish to all the fans in favor of cgi simplicity for 5 year olds. It didn't need to be that way.
The bad guy is in the room doing brain storming sessions...everyday...and they can't even get a whiff?
Luke knew when Vader went into the men's room halfway across the galaxy...I mean...come on.
