For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.there are 2 main things that people forget about episode 1 and that is that it is the beginning of a story so inevitably would have to be slower paced and also that it is a kids film !!!!!! there was universal hatred of jar jar binks from grown ups who were children when they saw the originals.
episode 2 was far better.
given time(like the originals) these will become classics.dont forget return of the jedi gave us ewoks ! so maybe jar jar wasnt that bad after all !!!
there are some amazing moments to be had in ep 1 particularly with regards to darth maul who would have scared the crap out of me if i was an 8 yr old seeing him at the cinema ! much the way darth vader did back in '77.
Film critics generally don't praise the 'blockbuster' movies anyway so I wasn't suprised that it was panned. I personally was disappointed with 90% of the content of these 2 films. I think they were aimed at very young children and I seem to have grown up a bit.
What I liked in I was the Darth Maul fight and 'Duel of the Fates' theme music. In II I liked Anakin/ Mother/ Sandpeople scene, the way the third film is set up and maybe er the reduction in Jar Jar Binks scenes?
