A total disappointment

The only thing redeeming quality of Phantom Menace that the Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi fight scene was one of the best I had seen. That is it.

It seemed like George Lucas tried to dazzle us with special effects because he had forgetten to put in a halfway decent plot. The dialogue was wooden, the pacing off - at some times I was bored out of my mind and at others totally confused by what was happening.

Even watching it again on DVD I kept on fast forwarding to the better parts. All in all, I watched The Phantom Menace in 5 minutes. I'm still surprised at how badly Lucas screwed this up.
