You know, I've never minded The Phantom Menace that much...not that it's a great work of art or anything (no...it certainly isn't that...) but it's at least better than that shitstain known as Attack of the Clones...I mean, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan aren't exactly deep in TPM, but at least Liam and Ewan are good ACTORS--in AOTC, there are only two good performances in the entire film, not a good ratio, especially when two of the worst performances are from two of the main characters, in fact the de facto focus of the film (Portman and Christensan).

Revenge of the Sith was the second best movie of the six.

George lucas should have really just made the first three movies into two movies and cut out half of phantom menace and Attack of the Clones. He tried to stretch a little bit of story out into 5 hours of movie, and thought he could fill in the void with extra "character development", which it wasn't really.

I've said this for a while: if Revenge of the Sith was R-rated, it would have been the best of the 6. Actually, that's a lie; Empire Strikes Back pwns all. But RotS would have been great as an R-rated action sci-fi flic, and it showed the massacre at the Jedi Temple.

The two things Phantom Menace had going for it that kept it from being a total bust in my mind, are 1.) outstanding vehicle concepts that really inspired me artistically 2.) Darth Maul and the amazing double-edged light saber fight. Visually stunning.

I don't care what anyone says...

Star Wars in any form (yes even the kiddie'd down Phantom Menace) is 10x better than anything else Hollywood puts out to this day...

I'd rate the 6 in this order

Empire Strikes Back

Revenge of the Sith

A New Hope

Return of the Jedi

Attack of the Clones

The Phantom Menace

But FWIW, TPM is still better than any of the LotR movies to me... You have to view the Star Wars work as a complete thing, and it's impact on the world as we know it is greater than anything in entertainment history...

If it wasn't for Star Wars, Sci-Fi/CGI/Movie technology would all be set back at least a decade...

Therefore, even if it's the worst part of the Star Wars universe, it's still better than most of the stuff out there...

George Lucas is laughing at this guy as he cashes yet another check.

One thing about the Phantom Menace. It was made for boys age 6-12. And they liked it. 30 and 40 years olds trying to recapture their youth thru Star Wars were not going to like it.

I didn't like it, but then I didn't much care for Transformers either. Kids movies all of them.

I did like Revenge of the Sith though. That was more of an adult movie, albeit with one of the worst romance stories ever written.

they needed it for the story but It could have been so much better. The way anakin was turned to darth Vader was the worst part of the film...it was like someone snapped their finger and he was all of a sudden a bad guy...lol

      Clowney on Bryce Young

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Bryce also has a degree in psychology. He has an uncanny ability to compartmentalize things in a way that allows him to enter his second NFL season with optimism that he can still be the player who was worthy of being the No. 1 pick of the 2023 draft despite the kind of rookie year that has destroyed others in his position. Young credits that in part to his past. He graduated from the University of Alabama in three years with a degree in psychology. His father was a therapist in the mental health field for 20 years. His mother was a special education teacher, and his grandfather was a psychologist. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40334565/bryce-young-developing-leader-panthers-year-2

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By strato · Posted

      This is just stupid. If Tepper owned the team and they were in your backyard it wouldn’t be any different after 6 losing seasons. People would be pissed and it just wouldn’t be any different.  This malaise is Tepper generated.
