I liked Jar Jar and he made me laugh at every viewing.
I agree that Episode I left something to be desired, but I think that "something" mostly amounted to this--I'm not 12 anymore.
I definitely intend to see Episode II (although perhaps not six times.) I hope the love story doesn't overwhelm the more serious themes of great special effects and Jedi rockin' on bad guys. I hope the romance involves little more than the following dialogue:
AMIDALA: Oh, Ani--I love you so much.My $0.02 worth...ANAKIN: I love you too, babe. Now I've got to go get into a light-saber battle.

EXACTLY! Thank you!
My children LOVE it. It's a KID'S movie.
