Pathetic

Rating: 1/10 (16 June 2000)

The Phantom Menace is absolutely horrible. Bad writing, bad directing, bad editing, bad acting, etc. Perhaps the worst movie of 1999. Don't be fooled into thinking that Jar Jar was the only problem with this film. There are far too many things bad to list here.
If you like to have your intelligence insulted time and time again with ridiculous plot elements and just plain stupidity, then this is the movie for you.
If you watch movies to see swirling pretty colors rather than a good story, then this is the movie for you.
If you like to reward shameless marketing and poorly rehashed plot outlines, then this is the movie for you.
I simply have one question for Mr. Lucas:
Why, George? For the love of God, why??!!
