The Phantom Menace!

I love this movie!!! The actors did a wonderful job and the effects are positively stunning!! Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are the two characters that helped me fall in love with SW!!! What's yalls opinion?

This was the very first Star Wars movie I saw, so its one of my favorites!!!

There's a lot of hate for the Phantom Menace, which I really don't get. It makes me very angry when people hate on it, I'm very defensive of all of the Star Wars movies and the Clone Wars, and if someone hates on even one movie or character I go into defensive fangirl mode. LOL

Lol! Same here! I hate it when people put down the Prequels or CW! Word of warning you dont talk bad about SW in front of the fangirls! Lol!

Sorry but I'm one of those haters. I love Episode 3 and a little bit of Episode 2 but TPM was B-O-R-I-N-G. Jar Jar really ruined it. One the other hand, Qui-Gon and Darth Maul were really cool characters!

I love this movie!!!!!!!!! I can't watch it a billion times in a row though, because I'll get sick of it. But I never get sick of ESB or ANH. Those are classics. LOL! I do like this movie though! Qui-Gon rocks!

This is the first SW movie I have memories of watching (the OT ran together in my head when I was younger). I fell in love with Queen Amidala's outfits, Jar Jar was the best thing ever, and the podrace took FOREVER. I also got really, really mad when my friend told me Queen Amidala's real name was Padme. xD

I love TPM!!! Always have...the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan is awesome, the fightng is cool, and I just think it's a really well-rounded movie. It never gets old for me.

So, like with the AotC thread, I thought I'd bring back this one and see if anyone's opinion has changed about The Phantom Menace.

Personally I still love it, and I honestly don't understand the amount of hate it gets. I do agree that Jar Jar is annoying, but beyond that I don't really see any big issues with this film. It's not as good as the OT, but it's still really good. I think that the reason for the hate is simply that a bunch of fans got all butthurt that it didn't meet their exact expectations and everyone else just jumped on the bandwagon. I hope that attitudes about this film change as the prequel generation gets older, but honestly Disney is probably going to put this film on a shelf and never mention it again, which is a bit sad.
