We watched Star Wars: The Phantom Menace recently and it is way worse than I remember. The dialog is VERY BAD.
@sun it's funny that there are now tons of 'reappraisals' on youtube by zoomer kids who saw it on tv when they were like 5
@lain I was already actually offended by zoomers saying it better than the original, now if someone says that I have to assume you’re actually brain damaged

I went back and rewatched the original trilogy sometime in the 1990s, realized I thought they were all cheesy but the 1976 movie got a pass for being fun, while everything afterwards was comical.
The 2000s movies, first one I saw at the end of it the audience was stunned into silence by how bad it was, then some dude stood up and said "THAT MOVIE SUCKED!" and everyone clapped.
They're just more postmodern recombinant bloat now, but let's face it... this series should have been one movie and quit.

@amerika @RedTechEngineer @kura @lain @freepatriot @cell the old movies are not smart they are just well made and fun, phantom menace is plodding and stupid and the dialog is shit, the CGI looks worse than jurassic park six years earlier. jarjar binks sucks as bad as everyone says, the movie has fart and stepping in poop jokes.

@sun @amerika @RedTechEngineer @kura @lain @freepatriot @cell I would rather watch "Ice Pirates",then "Phantom menace",if given the choice of space operas

I actually saw that movie at age 13 in the theater

Someone should apologize to you for that
It was an ambitious movie with some good ideas, but too much writing by committee.
