Is this our generations phantom menace?
HAHAHA no. This is bad, but very few things are Phantom Menace bad.
The black plague being one of them.
It isn't my generation, you millennial slime.

Remember people thought Phantom Menace was good when it came out because muh star wars muh nostalgia

Without question. We already have the apologists too.
no, it didn't butcher the canon like PM did
it wasn't 2 people on couches talking about trade
it wasn't the laziest and most uninteresting fight choreography ever
>>67597540
No, it's this generation's The Seventh Seal.
I mean, think about it...

the darth maul fight scene is based af, nly second to anakin v obi wan.
yes never before in my lifetime has there been such a disparity between expectations and reality.
Phantom menace was praised at the time of release and it enjoyed several successful back to back weekends. Many fans saw it multiple times and it's weekly box office declined fairly slowly over the next two months.
It was almost a year later that it became fashionable to hate the film.

No this is another generic shlock action capeshit movie that everyone is going to forget about in a few months when the next generic shlock action capeshit movie comes out.

no its our citizen kane
No. No matter how bad it is, it doesn't ruin something else that's actually good.
Phantom Menace was bad, but the problem was that it ruined the Original trilogy. It took the mysticism out of the force and showed Darth Vader was a stupid kid who built C3PO.

No they didn't you idiot child.

darth maul fight
>oh, look, there's 2 boring Jedi fighting some red dude about something that I don't care about. But the red dude has a lightsaber that goes from both sides! How exciting!
yea
remember all those fucking retarded ass fanboys who saw the movie like 10 times and swore it was great
they pulled the same shit too "it'll get even better when future films come out and it makes more sense"
