The force is strong with this one.

***
This, the critically massacred prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy, in my opinion, is nowhere near as bad as the mass public has made it out to be. It maintains much of the action and adventure of the original movies. It suffers from the cutes and, of course, there's Jar Jar, but if you can overlook that you will find that this is a fine movie. The lightsaber duel between Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Darth Maul is among the finest moments of the entire franchise.
