the phantom menace was actually a great film, but people just look at it from the wrong angle and say it sucked.sure, it was kiddy in ways, but the whole series is, with the exception of empire, which is meant to give kid nightmares.but people expected phantom menace to be a huge movie, when it was just an introduction.a new hope was made with the ability to be the only star wars movie made, but the sequels followed.with phantom menace, they had to introduce us to people like amadalla, anakin, obi wan, palpatine, sidious, and yoda, people who we didnt know much about in the first trilogy.it wasnt intended to be a good movie, it was made to be an intro to people
