This is a score from the heart, not from a critical point of view.
My housemate was watching this, so I watched it as well. It does have really fun and interesting sequences, namely action ones. But it also has terrible dialogue, CGI that feels like a joke, midi-chlorians, and scenes that are there because God knows why.
As an adult, rewatching this for the first time in many years, I can finally see why there is some hate towards this film. And despite acknowledging that, I still kind of like it? I don't know, that fight with Darth Maul is really cool and that bad dialogue sometimes made me laugh out loud. As I said, this score is from the heart.
