2 would have been a better movie if they had cut out the Naboo part down to pretty much just the kiss, maybe with some text to say they were having a great time or something. Based on their interactions shown, I found them leaving there not liking each other as much more believable than falling in love, especially with the scenes in the capital showing how little respect they had for each other.

Then they could have used that time to make the fight against Dooku longer for each of Anakin, Obi Wan, and Yoda.
