So it wasn't so good.. What did you expect??

Rating: 1/10 (2 June 1999)

I just saw The Phantom Menace, and I'm gonna have to go with the flow: this movie wasn't so good.. It had potential, but blew it with lines such as "Yahoo!" and... "Yahoo!" When this movie comes out on tape I think I'll re-record it, but with all of Anakin and Jar-Jar's lines Muted out, that just might change my mind about the movie. Now anyhow, coming to my point: This movie sucked, What's the big surprise?? Didn't you people see the other Star Wars?? I know, I had "fond" memories of them, too, but when I actually went back and WATCHED the old Star Wars movies, they weren't so great either. The acting was just as bad in the old SW movies as in the new one. The only thing I really liked about Episodes 4,5, & 6 was Harrison Ford. Now, I would've said the same for Liam Neeson, but they already killed him off. Who's left to support the next two Star Wars movies?? Now, I'll admit Empire Strikes Back was a good movie, but it was a "mid-way" movie, with no real beginning or end. And the two supporting links (A New Hope and Return of the Jedi) were weak. And one additional question for you to ponder: How did George Lucas manage to make Yoda look even faker than in the original movies and how did he manage to create a race (Jar-jar & co) MORE annoying than the Ewoks:?? Now in conclusion, I'm not in any way saying "Don't see this movie", but when you see it, let your opinions be heard, and maybe George Lucas will hire REAL writers for the next movies..
