    Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace

    ★★★

    This has likely always been quite poor but the HD blu ray transfer certainly didn’t help at all. If I wasn’t waiting for the epic final battle and enjoying the pod racing scene, this definitely would’ve been far more agonizing. Either way, it’s a necessary step in an attempt to rewatch the series.

    The third episode alone warrants a rewatch. I think people wanted/expected more from this and so, understandably, the bare bones of the story could frustrate some. I appreciated the focus of each episode to center on that sole episodes contribution to the story from the arrest and investigation to the aforementioned interview in episode 3 and the impacts/aftermath of the family system in episode 4. This felt like Stephen Graham’s demo reel for “writer, director, actor” credit portfolio. Cheers, mate

    Goddamit. Still thinking about this movie while at work and just realized how I can use this whole movie as an allegory for resentment and teach it to people… best Batman movie ever made. There. I said it.

    Those movies know what they’re doing and they do it well
