Why, George Lucas, Why?

Rating: 2/10 (29 January 2000)

Oh, I remember my youth so well. I used to think of the Force with great awe, as something mystical that could never be explained. Then I saw The Phantom Menace. I can't even begin to imagine what would posess George Lucas to want to ruin one of the greatest movie myths of all time, and explain the Force as something biological, which can be determined by how many parasites you have living in your blood. To explain the Force is a crime against cinema, and therefore this movie is an embarrassment, an abomination. No amount of cool light saber battles or pod races can ever change that. Add in Jar Jar Binks and a huge cast of unnecessary CGI characters, and you have one of the worst movies of all time.
