Just awful

Rating: 1/10 (19 August 2017)

I hate this film! In fact, Star Wars Episode 1 is in my top 10 least favorite films of all time. From the acting, directing, writing, to the special effects and character design, everything about this film is just awful. I remember seeing this film in theaters when I was about 8 or 9 and even then I knew something about the film was just awful. There is a freaking fart joke in this movie, A FART JOKE...IN A STAR WARS MOVIE! So where do I begin? Well, the film starts off with the most uneventful intro to the film (I don't mean the title crawl, I mean the 'negotiation' on the ship). Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor just sleep through their lines because George Lucas didn't care. Jake Lloyd is one of the worst child actors ever cast in a major role, and it's a shame because you can look at the behind-the- scenes footage and see that way more talented kids auditioned for the role. I know he suffers from schizophrenia now from all the bullying he got from this movie, and it's awful, but it isn't his fault he cant act. I blame Lucas because it was up to him to cast him, and even if he was a bad actor, Lucas should've directed him better. The plot is stupid and unimportant. Nobody cares about these trade federations or whatever, we want to see engaging action! And then it goes on this political statement tirade about racism involving the Gungans and the humans? This is Star Wars, not CNN. The effects are cartoonish and fake, and the unholy sin of Star Wars, being Jar Jar Binks, has WAYYY too much screen time. There will never not be a moment in time where I don't hate every second of this rubbish film.
