5/24 The Phantom Menace rocks! I don't know what the critics wer
complaining about.
\_ So, tell me what you like about it. I saw it and was disappointed.
\_ The action sequences were excellent. We got to see a
glimpse of the old republic. The actors were convincing
IMO. Yes, the plot is pretty simple, but I thought it
sets up Eps. 2-6 very well.
\_ I thought the plot was slow. At times, I was yawning.
Yes, it does setup Eps 2-6 very well. I am looking forward
to watching Eps 2 & 3 already. Overall, I didn't think
it deserves all that hype and I was disappointed with the
plot and special effects.
\_ i think what it comes down to is this: there is alot wrong with
that movie, but there is nothing wrong with it thats not wrong
with the other three either, and i like the other three, so i
like this one. for people our age, dissapointment is inevitable
since that kind of movie is just more fun when you're five.
\_ Yup, the other three were far from perfect (ESB coming
closest). And they mostly appealed to kids (esp. ROTJ), which
Lucas has stated over & over again is his primary audience.
We're all 20 yrs older now. Of course it wouldn't have the
same appeal to us.
\_ i agree, it rewled.. the only part i didn't like was that C3PO
was created by him (don't want to give away too much), but the
rest was great., sword fight scenes great, characters appropriate.
critics don't really know what the force is about..
\_ "critics don't really know what the fouce is about"... HELLO??!?
THERE IS NO 'FORCE'! It's a MOVIE! This isn't religion! There
is no God!
\_ I find your lack of faith disturbing.
