Why The Phantom Menace Sucked

The Snook and I just watched all seven parts of this massive review/commentary on Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The “serial killer” framing device is a little annoying, but the observations about the movie are SPOT ON. I can still remember how I felt driving home after the midnight showing, still dressed up in my ridiculous Amidala outfit, trying to talk myself into believing that it didn’t suck. But it sucked. And this guy explains exactly why. (Spoiler: Jar Jar is hardly even mentioned.)
