I havent bothered with TFA and I am sure I would hate it, but the PM was the worst of the 6, because it was such a freaking disappointment--so different in tone and style from the previous ones. Howard Stern said he was depressed after he saw it and I concur.
I watched and ascii version of the 77 film and that was more entertaining.

The Phantom Menace has many low points of the SW franchise: Jar-Jar, Young Anakin's presence, midichlorians (or however they're spelled) and ultimately doesn't really add much of a big relevance to the overall storyline.
However, despite it's many flaws Phantom Menace isn't the most infuriating of the series for me, as that would be The Force Awakens.
30 years later and this was the best they could do? A remake of A New Hope with different characters? With such a big universe of characters, alien cultures, politics and story possibilities, why take the lazy route? It makes everything the characters accomplished at the end of Return of the Jedi so pointless. It was great to see Harrison Ford (who is good in TFA), Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill return, but they barely have any scenes together, making their return pointless. The new characters are played by talented actors, yet they aren't given much material to work with other than recycle characters from the previous films. Even the prequels had more ambition than the sequel trilogy.
So I ultimately go with The Force Awakens as I find it to be the most wasteful of its talent and possibilities.
* Tristan Kool-Aid summed up my thoughts perfectly!

Attack of the Clones. Phantom Menace sucked too but at least it had Darth Maul, Qui Gonn, and the pod races. Attack of the Clones was just boring as hell. And who the heck voted for Empire???

Attack of the Clones. Even then, I didn't hate it.
