Why do people dislike this movie? I just rewatched it for the first time in years to see if my younger self thought this movie was better than it really was, turns out it was the OPPOSITE. I didnt expect it to be as engagibg as it was, great start to the story kf star wars, Liam Neeson was incredible as qui gon and yes Jar Jar was pretty annoying but it doesnt interfere with the movie that much. The politics stuff got a little boring but thankfully it wasnt overwhelming to get in the way of the film. I didnt think the dialogue and acting was bad at all by the way, there are a couple cheesily said lines but its pretty hard to notice unless youre specifically nitpicking.
