It's not good, yet it's infinitely more watchable than Disney Star Wars

I think the reason why the younger generations like these movies is because they probably watched them at a very young age in numerical order, where they were introduced to this goofy version of the universe and it didn't mature until the later movies so they were used to it, but we grew up with the mature ones, and then fifteen years later they dump this prequel on us and it's campy and childish and we can clearly see the difference. It'd be like if you showed some kid the later Harry Potter movies that are all dark and serious, and you treated it like those are the only movies in the series. Then you wait fifteen years and show them the first two movies with all the bad child acting and whimsical bullshit. And they'd have the same reaction we did to these prequels of "What the f'k is this shit?"

Yeah, don’t buy into the revisionist version of history that it was good.

The prequel trilogy was so bad and everyone was exhausted and checked out by the third film that the theater I was in actually had the audience laughing when Anakin turned on the lightsaber to kill the younglings.

Still better than the Last Jedi.

In all truth it's the FANS and George Lucus that destroyed Star Wars. You needed to make your feelings known about everything you didn't like. Or wished for

Thanks to Disney’s awful trilogy, The Phantom Menace has aged like a fine wine.

It was always good

Yesh the Phantom Menace never was great, the only only thing i liked about the film was Darth Maul

They just never felt like they were in the same universe as the original trilogy.

First viewing for me of Phantom Menace, when Qui-Gon Jinn dies, a few people in the theater started laughing, and others started yelling at them to shut up. I witnessed the future of love it or hate it with Star Wars.

two of the most PROBLEMATIC plot points from the prequels are….

I was in college when Episode 1 came out. There were a few things leading up to its release that were red flags:

The only thing The Phantom Menace (and the prequel trilogy altogether) has is that the ideas on paper are interesting.

Finally someone that’s not meatriding Lucas

I like the phantom menace even with its flaws. There are some really good moments in the film that I can get behind, but a few good moments don’t make a great film. Phantom menace with the prequels in general have a good premise but the execution was horrible.

Watchibg the phantom menace again at theaters Is a joy of experience. Worth it. Love it.

You guys have to review all the Star Wars movies 😂

The pod race was fun at least lol

I liked the phantom menace 😄
