Has potential but the execution is very sloppy

Rating: 6/10 (24 December 2019)

The phantom menace is a very interesting movie in my opinion because I do understand the hate behind it but it's not as bad as people say it is. The cast is good for the most part but there is a few members of the cast that are just awful and not great for example young Anakin his casting choice was just awful in every way. The most of the characters are good but as I said previously young Anakin is awful and jar jar binks is just an awful character In all senses of the word. There is some good scenes in this movie from the pod racing scene to the ending fight with death maul. The music is always good by John williams. But onto the things I don't like about. Like I said jar jar binks and Anakin are terrible characters in this movie jar jar is just so annoying and Anakin is just a brat throughout the whole movie he doesn't listen to what he is told to do. The structure of the movie is awful to don't get me wrong the story in this movie is great but the execution is just so sloppy and bad. The pacing in this movie is terrible also like it's all over the place. The villain in darth maul is very weak in my opinion don't get me wrong he is really cool but when you look into his character development there really isn't any at all which just sucks because he is a great villain In concept but his execution is just bad. Overall the phantom menace is just very mediocre yes it has its pros but the cons sadly outweigh them.
