Review of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) by Andrew F — 07 Feb 2018

While there are elements of this film that work, it ultimately feels unneccessary. I found myself zoning out through large swaths of this movie and ultimately didn't miss anything important to the overarching plot of the series.

Jar Jar Binks, while meme-worthy, is a drain on this film, and the central conflict of the film is not terribly engaging or memorable. I send Jake Lloyd my condolences.
