I'd totally forgotten about that one, but definitely saw it attached to something at the time. Of course in retrospect Phantom Menace would NOT be the #1 movie from 1999 to have watched, and neither it or Austin Powers 2 would even be in my top 5. We had Matrix, South Park, American Beauty, Fight Club, Sixth Sense, Iron Giant, Being John Malkovitch, The Mummy, Ghost Dog... so many good movies that year!

Man, that was back when we thought the Phantom Menace would be good....

There were spontaneous rounds of applause in the cinemas where I saw Phantom Menace and whatever the second one was called.

He's one of those actors that need a good director and script. If his first big break was with Whedon and not Lucas, he'd have an Oscar or Golden Globe or something by now. At least an MTV award...

At least Portman got out from under the shadow. That's a good thing.


Now that I think about it, wasn't Anakin supposed to be 14 or 15 in Clones? He was what, 6 in Phantom Menace? Playing it like a mewling child just might be correct. He was just too obviously older.

Lot of people don't even like number 11

And jesus, that pregnancy scene (7) was a prime example of just how utterly terrible some of the acting was.

and who the fuck is "oooh-an McGregor"? It's "You-an"

They should do one of these about Phantom Menace where they're not being as retarded as George Lucas

Did everyone forget that Disney also did the avengers movie (which was awesome) and own pixar too. They cannot do a worse job than Lucas did on phantom menace and they might actually use fans of the franchise to direct and write for it. It MIGHT be good


I think the "it MIGHT be good" mentality is why we continued to watch the prequels in the first place.

3:40 with the kids shooting guns --> City of God
4:54 with the shotgun --> Funny Games
5:17 the Asian gentleman yelling --> No idea!

Also:
* Darth blah blah from Phantom Menace a "great villain"? Seriously?
* As a side note, this is a very American-centric (and yoof-centric) selection. How about some Hong Kong or Japanese super-villains? for that matter, where are the early, and I would say iconic super-villains like "M" and Doctor Mabuse?

instead of another israeli propaganda piece, I suggest you watch this and get informed: http://videosift.com/video/Iran-The-Phantom-Menace

I had a friend wait out for me...than I walked up to the line and grabbed the ticket. And I enjoyed the film cause I was in high school...and I didn't have to wait in line or pay. People are stupid and when you know a stupid person it's your job to exploit them constantly.
