I actually think that Darth Maul is somewhat of a ridiculous villain, but I will agree that the light saber battle was pretty sweet

TPM also had the best SFX in the prequels. This looks like a drawing not an actual city.

They all had their Sfx moments but in the end it was all too much

Darth maul was badass and the fight against obi wan and qui gon was my favorite in all 6 movies.

It was just strange how terrible overall the phantom menace was.

I got a cheap ticket to the 3D re-release of TPM and I had forgotten how bad it was. Every character was either wooden or a caricature and it was just poor.

The only reason to watch this movie is so you can watch that 75 minute review of it.

Jar Jar Binks is the worst character in the history of movies, hands down.

He turned what was previously a respected franchise into a joke. Who can take any of that seriously now?

The prequels were such a waste. With one of the most beloved franchises in movies and knowing they were pretty much guaranteed to make bank, they could have put the effort in and gotten the talent to make these great. Instead they were barely above a fiasco.

I hate the first two but I still like RotS. I think I was so irritated by 1 & 2 that 3 was a surprise

I actually consider that review one of the best amateur films I've ever seen. It's incredibly well done.

AOTC is much worse and totally nonsensical at times. For all it's faults, and there are many, at least Phantom Menace is coherent.

Revenge of the Sith is like the very plain looking girl who looks like Carmen Electra in her prime to people because her two best friends are complete trolls.

Except they fricked that all up too but again it's so much better that the other two so it gets a pass even though it's average at best.
