Every Generation has a legend(this is not it)

Rating: 1/10 (11 February 2000)

Some one must have paid George Lucas A LOT of money to make this movie, and it shows. "The Phantom Menace" is to Star Wars as what "Alien Resurrection" was to the Alien series. They both ruined great series by big dumb plots and stupid characters. First of all, the movie hardly resembles Star Wars. It seems to have better technology in the movie than the first 3, and there is a huge overabundance of special-effects. In the first one there were alien characters, but this, like every other character is an alien, or looks like one. It is sick. The movie is so dependent on special effects Lucas paid no attention to the script. The script sucks. I didn't give a damn when any weird-named character died because the characters were so underdeveloped. I did not care about Qui-Gonn, Jar Jar, Obi-Wan, Queen Amidalia, Anakin(boy, did Jake Lloyd suck). The movie was marketed to death. George Lucas sold out, and I bet you he does it in Episode II. I am not anticipating Episode II after having seen Episode I.
