Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace —
Star Wars Phantom Menace had the hype and my interest because I am such a huge Star Wars fan however the script was terrible. The character Ja Ja Binks (sic) had too big a role with this movie and was really annoying. The boy playing Anakin (sic) was aweful. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. George Lucas should have just left the original three alone and lived off the rewards of those films forever.
