It took 10 years, but someone finally decided to write the review that Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace truly deserved. I could never figure out why this movie rubbed me the wrong way. Probably because I never really thought about it, but this guy summed it up for me beautifully. Basically, the story made no sense (as well as screwed up some of the things we were told in the previous episodes); characters were not relatable and even harder to care about; I could go on, but I would take away from the actual review. Basically, it was like watching a documentary.

I won't mention anymore of the review's concept except for the author's final and brilliant point about George Lucas. George Lucas has always been against the established Hollywood way of making movies. I'd go so far as to say that George Lucas is a living inspiration for all the smaller, garage founded studios out there. But, I think Lucas Films has gone the way of many successful movie studios, and additionally, George Lucas himself has gone the way of many once talented directors/writers into the unchecked, can-do-no-wrong-so-therefore-anything-I-do-can-not-be-wrong mentality.

Anyway, I let the review speak for itself.
