Because The Force Awakens is a good movie?? Who would willingly, casually watch The Phantom Menace?

Even though its a rehash of ANH its still more entertaining to watch than the phantom menace.

Despite a weak finish in its respective trilogy it was a very promising start that has alotta enjoyable moments vs moments or characters I dread rewatching.

The characters in this for more fleshed out and are given their own identity, voice, and goal. Not all character share the same goal even Rey and Finn as they are together but clearly want different things for themselves. Finn's arc in this film alone is great especially. Acting is far better too.

Phantom Menace is at least some what original, Force Awakens is an inferior remake Why watch Force Awakens when I can watch A New Hope instead?
ReplyI’m fine watching either one but this film has better moments and more interesting failures
ReplyEpic lightsaber duels and nostalgia factor.
ReplyIn my opinion, "The Force Awakens" was, as George approximates it, a "nostalgic" movie that, imo, for the first time since the prequels, regressed the franchise. "The Phantom Menace," (and KOTOR) pushed the needle forward, rethinking what Star Wars could be, adding many iconic elements to the lore.
ReplyThe other two sequel movies ruined Force Awakens for me, and at least with Phantom Menace I fall asleep every time I watch it, so I get to see about the first half, which is nice.
ReplyThe way George made his films feel like a 1930s Shakespearean serial is astounding, and Phantom Menace is both fun and thought provoking in its narrative. Now this is Star Wars!
ReplyThe prequels are the Star Wars films I grew up with. While The Force Awakens is probably an objectively better film, how the Sequel Trilogy turned out as a whole ruins the films individually for me. Phantom Menace is just pure nostalgia for me. Plus pod racing and that final light saber duel!
