    Weird how so many talked shit about Phantom Menace but I saw it 4 times in a packed theater and was pumped everytime.

      Took me about half a dozen viewings to come to terms with the fact that it’s not great, but I still enjoyed the nostalgia of the release and the hype around it.

        Everything except the Gungans was top notch. I still think the fight with Darth Maul is one of the best in the entire series. The music was SO fucking good.

          The Gungan city was beautiful though. Put a new race in there, maybe the Mon Cal, and you’re golden. Otherwise I’m with you.

            I can get behind that.

          The podrace feels boring to me on repeat viewings, kinda drags on. But yeah that final act was so good

      I was 12 and I all I remember thinking was double sided lightsabers are cool. Which was disappointing as I was a huge Star wars fan. I don’t think I really liked it that much but going to the movies was always a big deal.

        The ending was great, Darth maul, space battlesl and the droid army but but takes a while to get there, pod racing was neat

      i think its a flick more than a film. visuals and audio were impressive, but almost none of the characters were developed or charming or even quotable. it even somehow managed to be more racist than should be possible.
