Yes, teenage Anakin is as cringe as you remember him and so are the scenes where he's flirting with Padme. Now when that's out of the way, there's a lot of things to be thankful for here. First and foremost, the whole movie is basically one Obi-Wan episode, the movie is less focused on the silly things than the first one, there's the arena scene and multiple great duels and the battles aren't too shabby either. All in all, I'm beginning to sound like a broken record here, but I always conclude that there's no point in giving "Star Wars" movies less than 10 stars (Lucas's ones, of course). Critique them all you want, at the end of the day, if you watch these movies, you love them anyway. So, I give the movie 10/10! There's nothing here that will change your opinion about the series, but a lot to love if you like them. Also, this movie set the grounds for the largely praised animated series and film I still have to watch. Considering that's the latest and probably last big offering supervised by Lucas before he sold the whole thing to Disney, I feel like we "Star Wars" fans should appreciate this movie more for all it allowed us to witness.
