No.
shareMost certainly. The story was focused and coherent & people get far too caught up in the soap operatic style of the romance & Anakin's (deliberate) awkwardness. If nothing else AOTC had a crap ton of rich, quality world building that has held up for nearly 20 years, laying the groundwork for lots of spin off material from that era.

shareNope. It's wasn't a good movie.
I tried rewatching it a couple years ago and I turned it off. The CGI was good for the time, but it doesn't hold up, the story is a mess, the acting is really bad, and the film doesn't work. George Lucas really hammed this up which is offputting.
If you skip the movie and watch the fight scenes, you'd have better spent your time.
Let's face it, George Lucas needed more pushback from the writers and editors to make this better.
The CGI was good for the time, but it doesn't hold up,
I have to agree on that. I think the CGIs in this movie and Revenge of the Sith are among those that really didn't pass the test of time. I remember how good they looked in the theaters. And then when I rewatched them on DVD I was like "well... it looked better on big screen ". I honestly felt like if I was watching cartoons, not live action films.
I used to have the really unpopular opinion of thinking it was the best from the prequel trilogy. I haven't seen them in a while, they deserve a rewatch. I might have a different opinion now.
