Re: Just watched "Phantom Menace" DVD and I'm blown away...

I rented this clunker too. I'm not really sure why as seeing it in the theater made me angry. And dammit if it didn't infuriate me again. A blond moppet with the emotional range of a toaser oven. A lackadasical rastafarian alien with more lines than any human. A set of actors going through the motions with a script so limp that a cereal box is a more emotionally satisfying read.

Phantom Menace should be a synonym for insipid in any Thesaurus published from this point forward.

Or perhaps Phantom Menace should be added to the dictionary with the definition - "When you have so much money no one can tell you no"

And the video transfer is abominable. There is more edge enghancement in this DVD than any in recent memory - and is it just me, but are all these aliens, i.e, humans in rubber prosthetics, looking more and more unreal in each installment in the series?

Pathetic. Simply pathetic.
