Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
Passes $1 Billion at Box Office

Hopefully when the other 5 are released (in 3D!!!) they pass this one up.

The fact that you think Avatar, Pirates of the Carribean, and friggin’ Transformers 3 are better than this film shows how little you actually know about what constitutes a “good” film.

Well, Pirates certainly is.

A helluva lot better than Avatar, PI3 , and T3.  And it’s not that much worse than most of the other Star Wars movies – lot better than the embarrassing Return of the Jedi.  ROTJ is the worst film in that franchise IMO and seems to be forgotten amidst all the fanboy backlash.
 
Apart from DK, I’m not a huge fan of most of the films on that list. 

Let me guess – Lord of the Rings, Dark Knight, and Toy Story 3.  Please don’t say the woefully overrated Titanic or I will lose all respect for you.

I’d rip my eyes out before I’d subject myself to that film again.

any random 5 minutes from Jedi is better than all the best parts of all 3 prequels combined

Which 5 minutes? – the ones with the Ewoks, the musical number in Jabba’s palace, or every scene involving Han Solo being a complete and utter useless pussy?  Let’s not even mention the amazing 5 minutes accorded to Boba Fett as well. 

ROTJ is a much shittier film than Phantom Menace.  Apart from Empire, the others are pretty much forgetful as well.  Complaining about Phantom is like complaining about the quality of one turd in a turd factory.

Wow, you must be really young. The stupid musical numbers in Jabba’s
palace were added as part of the special editions in the late 90′s.

I’d direct you to the Plinkett reviews at this point

in that case you just have a bad memory. You said musical number – there
was none in the original. There was a dance by a mostly naked chick, and
there was a band playing in the  background in several scenes.

Your examples are a joke – you can come up with 2 or 3 (the same ones
that have been spouted on the Internet a hundred times), whereas there
are hundreds of examples of things wrong with Phantom Menace

What I originally said stands, and always will stand, until the sun burns
out. Any random 5 minutes of Jedi adds up to more good stuff than all of
the prequels “strengths”

Glad you like the prequels. I like some crappy movies too – like Sucker Punch – but I don’t pretend it’s better than good movies

IF Transformers or Avatar are on that list, I’ll atleast put Phantom Menace above it. I was really disapointed in Avatar, seeing as how I liked all of Cameron’s other films.

What ever happened to Jake Lloyd? JarJar, a CGI construct actually out acted a flesh and blood actor. SCARY…

Prong you are a fool

I just watched this movie for the first time since 1999 (when I deemed it garbage upon my first viewing) and am amazed that it is even worse than I remembered. Thank god I didn’t waste my time watching it in 3d. The fact that this Prong idiot thinks it is anywhere near ROTJ in quality (let alone better than it) is the funniest goddamn thing I’ve read on the internet in years. Let’s keep indulging him with attention so he will continue to make even more hilariously untrue and moronic statements!

Sat in big theatre sunday, today. with only 5 other people.  3-D not worth the high price of addmission.  This was at Vero Beach Fla a cool gloomy day.  The glasses made it darker. We watched it without them half the time. 
Outrageous asking American parents to pay horrible prices for their kids to see this..
