When Phantom Menace came out i was in early teens if not before then. Star Wars was still one of my favourite films at that point, i loved them. I can honestly say that Episode I never captured me in the same way, this is from a childs perspective, it was a good film, just lacked something.
Although looking back I would rather be placed in a cell with Jar Jar that watch the awful tripe that was Aotc. It was horrible, ghastly, an abomination to the star wars name. The film was so slow and felt so miss matched. There was exceptional promise with very clever parts in there, We could debate this over and over again, it was a Horrible Movie, the Worst Sci-Fi Movie i have ever seen!
That said i will go see Episode III just so it lines George lucas Pockets to the extent that he can retire from butchering the memory of the star wars trilogy anymore.
