Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review (Part 2 of 7)

Part two now focuses on the second biggest problem with the Phantom Menace, the story. The mystery plot lacking direction and emotional involvement was really the other big problem. No tension, no drama, no stakes. Characters aimlessly follow along the events.

@YuriPRIMEpoland

I think you're talking about A New Hope.

Also, in that build up we get to learn about the characters through dialogue, interaction, and exposition so that we give a shit about them when things start to explode.

PM doesn't do any of that, it just lets us know that the villains are stupid and the heroes appear to made of living cardboard.

does anyone know which documentary the "its so dense" line is from?

@Thatguywithlogic I can agree that Lucas declined as a producer and director. I'm just trying to explain to this guy that if it weren't for his spark of creativity, Star Wars: the original trilogy, the movie he makes love to, wouldn't exist.

Wait isn't that Grim Reaper hologram guy the clear villain in this movie?

[Thatguywithlogic]

@OrionCinemas Well I think it's clear that while making Episode I Lucas went full blown fucking retard. Hitler was a dashing guy before he became a dictator, after all. You don't have to respect people once they produce utter shit.

@nosorab3

you're totally right - I recently made the mistake of watching "The Phantom Menace" again - in 3D. And believe me, it nearly killed me. Jar-Jar Binks in 3D.....aaaaargh!

Now I can't stop quoting: "WHAT IS IT WITH RICKS?"

Cant tell if just witty for purposefully misspelling/mispronouncing words, or super-genius to cover his tracks in case he actually fucks something up.
