I know that a lot of people hate on TPM due to Jar Jar but Palpatine's backstory, Darth Maul, young Obi Wan and especially Qui-Gon Jinn are just epic, IMO.
The third act, with Padme leading the Naboo military while Obi Wan and Qui-Gon are battling Darth Maul while a space battle is happening simultaneously is one of the greatest Star Wars acts, IMO.
It's not as great as the third act of Rogue One but it's pretty close, IMO.

Phantom Menace is nearly a Dune-level abomination. The only reason it's not worse than Dune is because it didn't butcher the greatest science fiction novel ever written and the special effects are good. Plinket's review of Phantom Menace exposes every wretched aspect of it perfectly.
Despite the numerous flaws of VII and VIII, they're the Blade Runner movies compared to I.
