Wasn't great but still had its moments, Mesa thinks the pod race was pretty cool

Makes me laugh seeing all the lazy human stereotypes Lucas gives to the alien races in the new star wars films. JarJar Binks aliens = Africans, trade federation aliens = orientals, alien who owns Annikin and his Mum = Mexicans.
a lot of style, no substance, and too much emphasis on politics.
also, darth maul is just a bloke in a cloak with party make up on.
im not quite young enough to have seen the originals at the cinema, but they're still infinitely better than this.

Amazing final duel Sith V Jedi.
Shocking film other then that.

Better than the film in every way.
Doubly impressive as he put the song together before the film was even released, and he managed to piece together the plot from all the rumours flying around the web.

Yep. Words fail me TBH, why GL ever thought up such an abomination.
Here's to it get getting an untimely demise via jedi/sith lord/droid/sarlacc/spaceslug or whatever SW lifeform I can care to mention in the 'revised' version of EPI on blu-ray later this year

Don't even go there, the climax of that scene is one of the most stupid things in the Star Wars saga (and lets face it there's some stiff competition in there). A Sith Dark Lord with some of the fastest reactions in the galaxy (and who's just handily fought off two Jedi before dispatching one comfortably) waits with gob agape for Obi-Wan to leap upwards from a position hanging off a light fitting and pull a lightsaber towards him before letting himself be cut in half...
Jar Jar is annoying and all, the story's wafer thin and yet I could have forgiven pretty much all of that if they hadn't had such a stupid ending to the lightsaber fight.

I think the whole Star Wars series are excellent,thought i do agree that this film is the worst

Have to agree with you on that, Maul was supposedly one of the most skilled Sith apprentices
I loved it when I first saw it, ashamed I ever did because it is a truly awful film! Plot hole galore (e.g. if the Jedi can run super fast, why doesn't Obi when he is trying to catch up Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul) and the most annoying character ever created!

Star Wars prequels, are some of those very, very few movies in my life, where I just can not warm up to any of the characters. Between stupid kid, whiney Obi Wan, bland queen and Jar Jar Binks, you kind of start rooting for Darth Maul at some point.
Plus the prequels wrecked everything the original trilogy stood for. The Force turned out to be blood disorder, Darth Vader was a immaculately conceived pansy boy with mummy issues, original Jedi knights turned out to be bunch of cheating, meddling, stuck up girl genitalia and The Republic turned out to be some sort of soviet union of planets run by Bob Crow, teenage kids and other Missa Cretins From Da Swamp.
And then Indy Jones hid in a fridge to survive nuclear blast.
