Very good film, one big distraction though..

Rating: 8/10 (28 December 2016)

Aside from Jar-Jar, the biggest problem I had with trying to watch Phantom Menace was: music. The orchestral score kept playing in the background during dialogue and other scenes where there should not have been any music, it became a distraction and basically ruins the film. Rogue One is great for a ton of reasons, but also suffers from this problem where about halfway through I started to notice that during dialogue scenes the strings just would not stop, and it becomes such a distraction that it's all I'm paying attention to - when is the music going to either stop or change? Irritation Level: High The best and most unexpected elements of this film are the story and plot elements that do not follow a Hollywood formula and take you by surprise.
