Re: Phantom Menace Review
aye, the movie wasn't amazing, but at least it had action and anakin had a sort of character...I guess. Once u see Attack of the Clones, u start thinking The Phantom Menace is one of the best movies ever lol

Re: Phantom Menace Review
first of all, u can see this guy clearly is spouting out a lot of movie references to try and show he knows sth about cinema, when he clearly doesnt know that much. when he names certain directors who followed away from the template he was talking about, you know, the strong carachter protagonist stuff, and he names all those directors, its like he is saying george lucas is inferior to them in movie creation, and that this formula of one strong protagonist is "okay", when in fact, it is the best way to make a movie, and it is not by coincidence that the star wars trilogy is considered the best movies of all time(fuck you Citizen Kane, its easy to make a awesome movie when the story is already written for you, unlike Star Wars, wich was made from scratch).
furthermore, those guests he asked those questions arent a viable source, as they are 3 or 4 ppl, clearly biased, as they tried their best to describe han solo(badass, smart mouth, rogue, playboy, scoundrel, down to earth guy) sth that i do in 5 seconds, and put no effort in trying to describe the phantom menace. i mena, common, i know Qui gon is no Obi wan*from the original trilogy) but how hard is it to say he is the mentor, the teacher, the mid wise guy, who is quick to make wise decisions, and never looses calm?
this is a movie snob ppl, and unlike some critics out there, who talk bad mouth of a movie but are in reality exagerating their feelings for it most of the time, this guy really thinks the Phantom Menace is a horrible movie, due to the fact he thinks hes watching an adult movie. everyone knows ep 1 was made for kids, early teens, and partially for older fans.
ep 2 wasnt that bad, just the love scenes were boring. kamino, geonosis, are cool. the coruscant chase scenes were cool too.

Re: Phantom Menace Review
by that thought, the prequels are all a filler.

Re: Phantom Menace Review
Episode 1 did have some BS scenes, but id doesn't deserve half the hate it gets. It was a face-paced, easy to follow story. No it didn't have a complex story or comprehensive plan, but then again, when you get down to it, neither did A New Hope, the only difference was that Epi 1 didn't make any pretense at being deep and complicated. Truly think about it, and you'll find that the complex story elements didn't occur until Empire in the Original and Clones in the Prequel.
Epi 1 and Epi 4 have the same kind of fast-paced story elements, Epi 1 just opened the audience to children by making it a little easier to follow.

Re: Phantom Menace Review
by what thought, i'm just saying that lucas basically dished it out to move the story line along, it wasn't something he put his whole heart into.
The Clone Wars was O.K, but Ep. 3 was, that was where it came together!
WTF JOO CAN'T HATE BINKS!!

Re: Phantom Menace Review
I found it interesting, tho it had lots of BS scenes. Attack of the clones the fights were OK, but just watching anakin speak made me feel like murdering him on the spot

Re: Phantom Menace Review
1st=Awesome movie, missing something but not much
2nd=Sucked. It was the middle movie the one he needed and you could tell.
3rd=Epic. It wasnt missing anything. Good action sequences mixed with some humor
4th=Eh. It was the first one. For its time, it was awesome but its not in its time anymore
5th=Slightly better than the 4th
6th= Best out of the old Star Wars.Lukes Character finally is developed completely and the story deepens and gets a lot better with the introduction on Leia as his sister.

Re: Phantom Menace Review
Jar jar was an attempt to make a kid friendly Chewie, it failed miserably, and yes I think pretty much everyone wanted to shut Anakin up after Phantom Menace.
1st: Good action, poor story.
2nd: Decent action, romance falls short.
3rd: Great action, good story.
4th: Good starter, decent action, simple but good plot.
5th: Best movie of all time. Perfect action, great story, good romance.
6th: Good action, decent story.

Re: Phantom Menace Review
to put it easy, i found a simple way to define the movies in quality. review them as much times as u can. wich movie lasts longer, wihc movie can u bear to rewatch more times? episode 5. simple. you simply do not get bored of this movie. ep1, ep2, ep3, ep4, ep6 you do. not episode 5. why? becuz its not standard. to put it simple, watch The Clerks. they put in the right words for what i mean.

Re: Phantom Menace Review
I put them in the order for how many times I can watch them before I get bored halfway through. So my list, in order would be: 5th, 3rd, 1st, 4th, 6th, 2nd.

Re: Phantom Menace Review
to put it simple, you basically said the prequels, both inferior in story and characters, only better graphically, are better movies then the original trilogy, considered worldwide as the best movie trilogy of all time, and some of the best movies of all time.
