Had an absolute blast with this! It’s not as good as anything in the original trilogy, but those 3 films (especially the first one) were such huge weird swings that have now become modern mythology, and Phantom Menace (and I’m assuming the other 2 prequels, though I’ve genuinely never seen them!) has an important place in the mythology. It tells the first crumbs of this story on a smaller scale that makes you realise for the first time how huge this universe is, hints excitingly at what you know is coming, and provides so much joyous energy while preserving the feeling of an odd-ball space opera. Love it or hate it, but it takes a swing, and I think it’s not quite a home run, but it’s whatever’s slightly less than a home run. I’ve never watched baseball. If I really think super critically, Lucas should’ve gotten someone else to direct and co-write and he should’ve been more of a very hands-on producer and co-writer (which I don’t think is a hot-take) but I almost prefer the fact that so many elements of this are just a kinda strange artist getting to do whatever he wants with the knowledge it’ll probably be the biggest thing in the world.

*Star Wars: Episodio II - L'attacco dei cloni è ambientato dieci anni dopo La minaccia fantasma, quando la Repubblica Galattica è sull'orlo della guerra civile a causa della secessione di migliaia di sistemi planetari guidati dal Jedi caduto Conte Dooku. La senatrice Padmé Amidala sopravvive a un attentato e viene affidata alla protezione dell'apprendista Jedi Anakin Skywalker e del suo maestro Obi-Wan Kenobi, che indagano separatamente sull'attacco.  Mentre Obi-Wan scopre l'esistenza di un misterioso esercito clone creato per la Repubblica, Anakin scorta Padmé a Naboo dove i due iniziano una relazione segreta. La trama si concentra sulla crescita emotiva di Anakin, che affronta incubi sulla salute di sua madre, e sulla scoperta della minaccia separatista, culminando nell'adesione di Anakin al Consiglio Jedi come Padawan e nella rivelazione dell'identità del mandante dell'attentato.  *…

Movie that has my heart in a chokehold

Somehow I don't hate this one as much as I might have thought I would. don't get me wrong, it sucks, but (unpopular opinion) this is ironically much more tolerable then Attack Of The Clones, because it fails on such a simple filming standpoint. The movie is terribly paced, has some extremely wooden acting, monotone dialogue, and the bizarre addition of Jar Jar and anakin who not only have embarrassing dialogue, but also make the movie so tonally inconsistent, But without them I'd probably hate the movie, But as for now its a mess that I find some enjoyment from

For me the second half of this movie is much more superior than the first but in a whole, it shows the beginning of how Anakin’s becomes Darth Vader. Plus this movie to me is just average, it’s good but to me a 3/5 star movie is the average movie and that’s fine.

Still can’t tell natalie portman and keira knightley apart😭
