Starts out good, gets kind of meh after the Chuunin exams but still has enjoyable characters, goes to total shit in Shippuden where Kishimoto forgets how to utilize like 90% of the cast. Those first couple of Naruto story arcs are legitimately great though. People tended to hate it more for how fucking TERRIBLE the fans were when it was initially airing, fucking spergs of the highest order, it seems like they've mostly chilled out compared to back then though. The -entire- reason it was banned on /a/ for a decade was because of the fanbase.
