Why do people hate phantom menace

For an all-star cast in one of the most anticipated films in cinematic history , it sure does seem like the actors smoked a fatty before making their way onto set that day. But in the case of The Phantom Menace , Lucas went way overboard with the effects, making many of the frames as busy as the plot. One of the dangers of this is it can render the scenes as flat and arid.

Even the exteriors seemed smaller than life: the courtyard scenes on Naboo look like they were shot during an afternoon at Busch Gardens. Save the fart jokes for kindergarten.

Two decades on, can we see the movie in a different light? Ian McDiarmid is compelling as Senator Palpatine, the future evil emperor. Moreover, the original trilogy left so many questions unanswered that a prequel series felt like the logical next step.

How did Anakin fall to the dark side? What was the galaxy like before the Empire raised its flags? How did the Jedi go about their business as guardians of peace and justice for an entire civilisation? The Phantom Menace answers all these questions, and it does so plausibly. Adrienne is very into films and she enjoys a bit of everything: from superhero films to heartbreaking dramas, to low-budget horror films.

Every time she manages to commit to a TV show without getting bored, an angel gets its wings. When she's not writing, you can find her trying to learn a new language, watching hockey go Avs! Breakfast food is life and coffee is what makes the world go round. It was great. By Adrienne Tyler Published Jul 23, Share Share Tweet Email 0.
