It was on Spike and I had nothing better to do today.

Man I forgot how bad this movie was. Anakin is just annoying as shite the whole movie. And who thought that Jar Jar Binks was a good idea for a character? At times it felt like a kids movie, at others, a horrible comedy. And the part where Anakin flies in to space for the first time and somehow does what trained pilots couldn't do was retarded.

The next 2 weren't that great compared to the original trilogy but at least it felt like I was watching a Star Wars movie.

Might as well watch Attack of the Clones since its coming on right now and I'm not doing anything until Arrested Development gets put up on Netflix

I don't think the second is that bad. It has some stupid parts, but at least it does a good job of setting up episodes 4-6

same here, I was so bored I wanted to walk out and I'm a huge star wars geek. Phantom Menace wasn't great by any means but it didn't bore me to tears as AOTC did

Yeah its kinda boring, but I still don't mind it. I'm not annoyed the whole time while watching it like I am during the Phantom Menace

I have to say I preferred young Darth Vader as an annoying kid rather than a whiny emo teenager.

Those three films are 3 of the worst I've ever seen.

Having mediclorian counts off the charts helps you do that

I don't hate TPM. To me, AOTC is by far the worst in the series. If you take out Jar Jar and cast a teenage Anakin instead, it would be a great film.

It wasn't a boring issue, it was ridiculous and over dramatic.

Well he kinda has to go through a whiny emo stage to transform from a sweet innocent kid into the greatest villain of all time

All the Phantom Menace brought us was a bad arse villain in Darth Maul, & one of the best lightsaber fights in the whole series.

I'm truly shocked Jar Jar Binks made the first round of cuts.
