With obscure plot points and a good handful of utterly obnoxious characters, "The Phantom Menace" is considered the worst entry in the Star Wars franchise for good reason.

Jar Jar Binks. And yet fifteen years later (no wait is it sixteen?) I still enjoy watching this movie. Some call Revenge of the Sith the best of the prequels and while I liked that one too, this is it for me. Why? Nostalgia and forgiveness I guess. Sorry if I'm not making a lick of sense. I've been brooding again. I'll edit this when I'm sane again.

Can 3-D movies get any worse I think it can. star was episode 1. Follows young Anakin Skywalker through his adventures and how he meets Obi Wan and Padm?. It is the start of the clone wars. okay I was not a fan of the stars wars movie but it's a lot of fun but this movie is a mess. the acting is awful the story did not make any sense at all.

It is disappointment compared to old star wars, but compared to other adventure and sf films it is fun, much more fun than average adventure film

Saw the 3D version. The 3D conversion is very well done and it adds to the pod racing scene and the big battles at the end. As for the movie itself, its the weakest of all six Star Wars film, mainly do to the awful Jar Jar Binks, some slow sections and some wooden acting- except for Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor who are both terrific. Ends up three stars in my book mainly due to the excellent light saber fight at the end. Lucas wisely almost entirely cut out Jar Jar Binks in Episodes II and III.

The return to the galaxy far, far away is a mixed bag. There is enough of that previous Star Wars charm in here amidst the CG fest.

Oversaturates the Star Wars universe with pointless digital effects and not one, but two annoying characters - the infamous Jar Jar Binks and a pretentious young Anakin Skywalker.

The main problem I had with this film was Darth Maul... It thought he was lame and was nothing like the other sith lords. I hated this film.

I know that not many people liked this movie, but I liked it. I liked the race scene in particular.

Jar-Jar Binks was bad. George Lucas ruined what he had. Anakin before he became a dad.
