re: At what point during your first viewing of The Phantom Menace did you realize it sucked?

Pod-racing was pure cringe
Really? The pod-race and the light-saber finale are the only re-watchable parts for me. The sound effects, motion/choreography of both scenes were outstanding.
My initial issue with TPM right out of the theater was the seemingly ho-hum/effortless invincible-ness of the Jedi's in the opening scene(s). An endless barrage of robots nor sea-monsters ever posed a threat or made you feel like they were ever in danger. It wasn't until Maul challenged them that there was any slight danger on deck.
Even Jedi Luke in RotJ was vunerable enough to be fooled into the rancor pit, have his hand blasted on the barge, and would've died if Darth didn't have a change of heart. He wasn't an invincible Superman.

I'm guessing you haven't watched The (Totally) Phantom Menace if you can still enjoy the final duel.

I kind of liked this though. We finally saw fully trained Jedi knights in their prime. We never really got to see Luke that way. In ROTJ he was still inexperienced.

That and the new SWs films are a function of the changing attitudes of today's youth. They think that 1. they shouldn't have to work for anything and 2. that their elders have nothing worthwhile to teach them. Which is a complete reversal from the relationships of Luke - Obi Wan/Yoda, and the naiveté of Luke vs the Mary Sue they put in the new movies. People these days aren't patient enough to wait for a character to grow. They want a badass superhero NOW.
