Before this film was released, the hype around it was huge. Everyone who was anyone was there opening night to see the epic saga return to the screen. Those with young children who grew up watching it brought these tykes in to see history in the making. What these audiences saw was pure, unadulterated child's play. Marketed to make video games and draw in the children's crowd, "Phantom Menace" was by all means and definitions crap. I went to it several times and each time, found myself growing in depression and angst. I blame this movie for my "trauma" years.
Nonetheless, it is a "Star Wars" movie and it must be watched to fully appreciate the masterpiece that is the original three. I can't stand it when people chose to stave off watching episodes 4-6 and began with episode 1. What an awful way to start, but truly what an inspiring way to finish.
