Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

That whole meme about Jar Jar Binks being a Sith Lord is really overrated but I still laugh whenever I consider the actual menace of this movie being Jar Jar himself. He's so bad, I can't believe it. But one thing I think people forget is that after the initial string of events on Naboo leading to Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan reaching Theed, he isn't quite as front-and-center atrocious. It's his stupidity very early on that's like genre-definingly terrible; at least later on in the movie enough tends to be happening around him that it's easier to tune him out. I don't think the film is quite as slow as some people say but mind you that means I think it's honey rather than molasses. Or molasses rather than honey. Which is faster? Who cares. Speaking of not caring, I don't care what happens to a lot of people in this movie, but it's super sad when Qui-Gon probably doesn't actually bang Shmi despite my headcanon. The climactic lightsaber duel is legendary and the throne room fight for Padme and CAPTAIN TANAKA is cool too but the gungan stuff is literally just Windows XP background but whatever. I have a soft spot for that dude who pilots the hero ship because he looks like he just walked out of bed in the year 1973 and thinks he's on the set of Spaceballs instead. This movie doesn't suck actually but it's not good.
