Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

“Copied from my Letterboxd review: Just absolutely bonkers that this movie makes us watch a budding 10-year-old fascist flirt with his future wife (an older woman! George at it again with his bizarre relationship dynamics) and try to impress her by participating in an hour-long commercial for the pod racer video games that were ubiquitous in the 2000s. At least Baby Anakin talked to Padme like a human being here and not a whiny bitch (that’s the next movie). There are so many bad attempts at comic relief all over this movie; meanwhile, the best laugh I’ve had in a while came when the Eopie rips an epic fart at Jar Jar Binks.”
