Only good things in the Phantom Menace are the pod-race and Darth Maul. Darth Maul could actually probably have saved that entire trilogy if Lucas had let him escape and be the bad guy, but no such luck.
In fairness pretty much all Star Wars is ropey as fuck aside from the good battles, could be just that the original trilogy had far better battles than the others. No CGI and all that.
there's one of them - the first one maybe - where the footage looked dated even a few years ago. the one where a load of space turds came out of the sky above new york i think. there's a bit of an uncanny valley effect with the backgrounds.I wonder how it'll look in a few years.
having outright rejected all the prequels when they came out and ever since (tbf, i'm was never a huge star wars fan to begin with), i watched them all last year with the kids. have to say, i really enjoyed them. apart from jar jar binks of course (what a puuuurrrrickkk). they're different from the other star wars films, less about action, more sci-fi. this is probably all very old news for most people, but in any case, i was very surprised at how much i got into them. but, caveat that i had very low expectations and all that...We watched all of the extended Lord of the Rings movies over the past couple of weeks. Still amazing.
On to the Star Wars movies now and man is The Phantom Menace a pile of shit or wha? Unprompted, the 5 year old has expressed a sincere and deep hatred of Jar Jar Binks.
Ex Machina kind of a sci-fi thriller which is not to far from our own present day technology. An office worker is called to visit his bosses reclusive home to study an artificial intelligence he created. I liked it.

Okay first two had that for the most part, third one was definitely ropey at times though, but all 3 still far better than any of the shite that followed. Also 'great direction ideas', dunno about that, surely must have been more along the lines of 'great producers that were able to shut down the director and just stick to the plan when he came out with total shit'. Lucas should have been banned from ever touching it again ha.The original trilogy had romantic tension, true relatability on numerous levels, archetypal characters, great humour, great sci fi worldbuilding. And that was just the writing. It also had great acting (E.g., no performance since has come close to Alec Guinness's), good casting choices, brilliant music, great direction ideas. Lots going for it that no sequel or prequel has ...equalled. (Am I actually getting into a Star Wars argument on the internet?)
