i loved the prequel. even though everyone else hates it. its still far better than disneys bullshit they call starwars
aependell
I don't think the prequels were terrible films, but they were certainly not Star Wars films, and that's why it's target audience hated them.
Solusphere
Actually, the target audience loved them. But the target audience was not star wars fans.
TinySatanicHamster
It's treason then.
WeWantKOTOR3
I think it’s a fairly entertaining film
BlockzBL
Don't worry, at least The Phantom Menace wasn't as gut-wrenching to see watching someone drink titty milk from a fucking elephant thing.
Oh wait...
vauhtihirmu
It did have Jar Jar stepping on poo and smelling farts, and screaming. A whole lot of Jar Jar screaming...
Pphunk77
I remember walking out of the theater thinking i just got dupped into watching a disney flick.

Nostalgia goggles are strong with the SW fanbase. 4 more Disney Star Wars movies and they'll claim the prequels are a masterpiece.
Some already do...

That's only because it's a retweet, if you look on the original comment, you see can see the actual comments in a normal comment section.

Phantom Menace at least looks fun in a marketable sense. AOTC just puts me to sleep...
iamthisguy247
Neither is great but Phantom Menace has some redeeming features (namely Darth Maul and that epic duel). AotC was really just boring.
SayonaraSally
Or The Force Awakens. Yeah I went there!!
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
The whole romance with anakin and padme is excrutiating. The end is pretty cool though
TurgidMember
Or the last jedi

nevergettingoutalive
What? I really liked The Last Jedi.
I used to be able to enjoy movies with bad plots but I seem to be unable to turn off my brain and just be entertained nowadays.
mynameisfatmike
They're all better than the last Jedi
NaziZombiePrincessKenny
The existence of prequel memes in itself makes the movie important.
The memes outshine the movies by far.
ChobbleGobble
Hating Phantom Menace is like hating on Nickelback. You do it now because it's the cool thing to do, but you sure loved it when it came out.
DingleBerryJane
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
I loved parts of it when it came out. The parts that didn't involve Jar Jar or Baby Anakin. My overall impression was "what the FUCK George"
MetalMil
You liked Nickelback when they came out?
WhatD0thLife
I was 13 and knew or sucked ass.
thegreatwhiteape
which one?
Bigcurly2000
Yep. I was 12 and could tell it was a badly made film. Only saving grace was the action. (Kind of like The Last Jedi!)
OuttaCoffee
Speak for yourself, man.
oshea
I didnt.
harpo3000
It was weird when I saw it. I was impressed with the CGI but the movie never felt right. The Plinkett reviews helped me sort that out
PrincessKikkey
I saw it when I was 8, so it was aimed at me. And... I liked it. There was spaceships and lightsabers and tax laws and politics... Well. /1
There was spaceships and lightsabers. Pretty cool! Oh and there was demon with lightstaff! That was awesome! 2/2
ajpimpsalll
Yup. He put into words what I only could "feel." I didn't like it but i couldn't articulate why until i saw the Plinkett review.
nigglemaster
Yeah, we all knew it was gay.
GiddyKipper
Nope. It was utterly mediocre.
Vagabondream
I still like "Leader of Men"...good song.
frogjammies
About tripping on mushrooms.
Not really true for me. Couldn't stand them then, was happy the universe caught up with me. Phantom menace was flawed on first watch too.
SorDavos
It came out when I was seven. It was too boring.
BigOlHungryBoy
To date, it’s the only film I’ve fallen asleep in the theater of. Still the most enjoyable experience where I’ve watched it, though.
retrohellix
I was 19 when it was released. It was a bit weird and didn't really fit the setting of the originals. Too much shiny shit and politics.
Also, the fighting style changed too much, too many flips and lightsaber play, and the kid destroying the battle station took the cake.
Beb0p
Back when we were foolish and young. We know better and its ok to change opinions.
septillion
Is that from a nickelback song?
obviouscoconut
They weren’t hating when Darth Maul was fucking everyone up.
flippywizgig
Nope hated it. Hated the kid, hated Jar Jar. For the record I've always hated Nickleback's music too for the terrible fucking lyrics.
I feel bad for Jake Lloyd given how it turned out for him, but he really was terrible. Couldn't act for toffee.
IAmNotASkeleton
Everyone hates on Phantom Menace but it's one of the only two movies in existence where Liam Neeson is acknowledged as a Jedi.
It was also better than most of the shit he's brought out in the last 10 years. Makes me sad that a talented actor isn't using his talent.
cognescenti
No. Star Wars fans over 20 or so didn't. Kids did.
nihilityfarce
I watched it as a kid and hated it, Jar Jar Binks wasn't funny and every conversation was boring. I remember assuming only adults liked it.
I think some/most 'kids' liked the bang bang and the pod racing and the neat aliens and all that nonsense. Now they enjoy it cause nostalgia
bloatedplutocrat
It wasn't the best but I enjoyed The Phantom Menace
Stupidpeoplearestpid
As someone who rewatched it yesterday, god it's just the worst thing
Secsletariat
There's usually nothing wrong with enjoying something that's considered bad by others. Guilty pleasures are fun.
bluegent
It has this neat little sense of adventure to it that I don't think any of the other Star Wars movies have.
lfrdwork
I remember liking it when it came out, but I was 16 and didn't have a great grounding for what a good and bad movie were.
wastewanderer
First time I did a midnight showing, and first time I saw a Star Wars film in theaters. Not the best movie, but still special in a way.
VoxGratus
Love it for two reasons: 1. I was a kid when it came out. Nice memories. 2. Played the game first, which immersed me deeply in the setting.
shibbytothelibby
The final light sabre duel is one of my favorite star wars scenes.
misterturdcat
Rhat and the pod race.
BionicBoner
Exactly
KaiHerrera
Especially that part where they just swing their swords around without trying to hit each other, that was the best part
NeatoBuilds
Wasn't that part 3?
Oh right, i remember asimilar scene on part 1. Oh well all the same
Keairan
Still a better movie than Attack of the Clones outside of the stadium battle.
TheBlackWindHowls
I enjoy parts of it, but on the whole it was forgettable. I could never forget Darth Maul, though. Gone too soon.
Aksuuuh
Maul is still in clone wars and rebels animated series. He didn't die.
respekmeinnit
yeh that shit was retarded though, he should have stayed dead.
Thelonelyapple
Boy do I have news for you.
I know what happens, don't be that guy.
Dave830108
If you compare the prequels to the original trilogy they were utter garbage, but most things are. On their own they weren't bad really.
Dragondraikk
You say that, but Episode 2 still exists...
As does 3... Unpopular opinion I know, but I think Episode 3 dropped the ball as hard as 2.
