I give it maybe a 4, and that's being fairly generous.

I didn't find it very good at all; a big part of the movie was the whole pod race thing and I found that very boring. The only memorable lightsabre battle was with Darth Maul and it wasn't even that great. Worst in the series by far.

Want to know the really sad thing?

The pod race, what most people call the best scene in the movie, was completely irrelevant to the entire movie!

The whole bet is just plain stupid and if Qui Gonn was going to go far enough to use his Jedi powers to manipulate people, the outcome of die rolls, offer worthless things, etc (essentially lying, cheating, stealing, and just doing things Jedi don't do), then you would think it would be far easier to just take the kid rather than go through the whole convoluted bet.

It's actually amazing how terrible Qui Gonn is at pretty much everything.

Hahaha that's so true. Yeah it was just an overall bad movie. Major disappointment.
