Alot of people didn't like this movie. But, I kinda thought it was a good start to the series. What did you think of it?
 
Hmmm
Great in fact, but could have been better. It's just a shame it was a Star Wars movie, compared to Eppisodes IV through VI, it was an ugly cousin.
 
I never saw it and I still haven't. Haven't seen Lord of the Rings. Haven't seen Spiderman. I'm a hurtin' puppy.

I think Phantom Menace was Part I not II and "a lot" is two words.

It's actually eppisode I, not part I. And this is thread II.
 
My phantom Menace experience can be summed up thusly: Jar Jar!

It wasn't just that the character sucked, it was that George Lucas had finally gone too far with the whole merchandising, money-machine toy tie-in thing that he started with those fucking Ewoks.

By insisting on that character, he basically turned his back on millions of fans who wanted a movie with depth, not potential action figures. It seemed to be more about his desire to impress us with all this new technology instead of telling a story.

Sorry to go off on a Anti-Jar Jar rant. I know we've enough of those. . .
 
As a friend of mine is known to say . . . "I keel you, I keel you two times."

Sadly Jar Jar sold a whole new generation on Star Wars. I hate him, but I can see his purpose. What really pisses me off is he becomes a Senator for crying out loud!

Your friend stole that from Milton Berle. God knows who he stole it from.

She my friend. Though I can't remember if it was KM or MP.
 
Other, Explained:

I can't rate this as a waste of time, because I refused to waste any time on it. Haven't seen it and probably never will.

him becoming a Senator won't piss you off once you've seen the movie. what he will do as a Senator will.
 
you American pig-dog, i weell keel you unteel you die from eet!
 
they had one of the neatest villans on this show...darth maul, but didnt develop the character at all.....
 
We just bought it the other day, and suprisingly enough I liked it.

I've never really been into the older Star Wars, so I couldn't tell you if it could have been better.

But it was enjoyable enough for me, and I'll gladly go see the second in the movie theatres.

Maul is nothing next to Sidious. He just had a pretty face. Anyone who puts together a two ended light saber deserves to cut their own legs off. It's not like a quarter staff for god sake.
