Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Don't rent it

Reviewer: Joe Casaletto

Don't belive the hype - this movie sucks! Jar Jar Binks is the most irritating character I've ever seen in a movie. Remove that goofus and rework the plot, and we could have had a winner, because the serious parts of the movie are good. Jar Jar completely ruins the movie, because he is the biggest star of the film after Liam the Jedi. Remember Gleek from the old Superfriends cartoon? That is Jar Jar Binks, except Jar Jar is a gay Jamaican. This is totally a kids' movie and nothing else.
