I've set aside the next few days to do something I never got around to before: Watch the Star Wars saga in chronological order. So last night I watched: Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and can say "It's all upward from here"
that being said it isn't a bad movie just a mediocre one deserving only 2 1/2 or 3 stars. What's wrong with it starts with:
1. Jar Jar Binks! Enough said
2. It assumes you have knowledge of movies 4, 5, & 6.
3. and if you do, it's just too similar in plot to #4!
4. Did I mention Jar Jar Binks?
By The Way I've now seen this movie maybe four times, "What's the Phantom Menace?"
