I was 12 and I all I remember thinking was double sided lightsabers are cool. Which was disappointing as I was a huge Star wars fan. I don’t think I really liked it that much but going to the movies was always a big deal.
Took me about half a dozen viewings to come to terms with the fact that it’s not great, but I still enjoyed the nostalgia of the release and the hype around it.
Everything except the Gungans was top notch. I still think the fight with Darth Maul is one of the best in the entire series. The music was SO fucking good.
i think its a flick more than a film. visuals and audio were impressive, but almost none of the characters were developed or charming or even quotable. it even somehow managed to be more racist than should be possible.
Weird how so many talked shit about Phantom Menace but I saw it 4 times in a packed theater and was pumped everytime.

The ending was great, Darth maul, space battlesl and the droid army but but takes a while to get there, pod racing was neat

The podrace feels boring to me on repeat viewings, kinda drags on. But yeah that final act was so good
The Gungan city was beautiful though. Put a new race in there, maybe the Mon Cal, and you’re golden. Otherwise I’m with you.
I can get behind that.
Not everyone has taste.

Now this is podracing!
