I promised a Star Wars thread. You& #39;ll get a Star Wars thread. Might not be as long as the MCU thread because 11 movies versus 22...but.
I watched The Phantom Menace at the end of last month and haven& #39;t yet watched any of the others. I& #39;ve been busy with stuff. But if I& #39;m being completely honest? I do like this movie. It& #39;s not good, it& #39;s not great. But it& #39;s about half way decent and that& #39;s good enough for me.
It may be a bit of a nostalgia soft spot, to be fair. The prequels were the movies I grew up with as a kid. Like, I had seen the OG trilogy before Phantom Menace and liked it, but Phantom Menace was what REALLY got me into it. And it& #39;s easy to see why.
It& #39;s big, dumb, and flashy with cool laser lights and stuff. I didn& #39;t care about the political aspect of it because I was young! lmao And I think watching this movie and how I was around that time just reminds me that this series is for kids.
It& #39;s okay to like and enjoy them as adults. But really. The prequels *at least* were made for kids at George Lucas& #39;s behest. And I think it& #39;s important when we& #39;re criticizing the movies to also remember the audience. They can still be not good, but hey, that happens.
