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

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      By Saca312 · Posted

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.

      I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me

      No We have been making excuses for him for 3 years, and we have gave him a hundred chances  Bryce is a bust, and we need to cut him now and stop wasting everyone's time
