The story in episode 1, was good, and the effects were great, and darth maul rocked. I actually have this my 2nd favorite, just because of darth maul and the lightsaber fights.
Yes Jar Jar was quite annoying, he is even more annoying in the CGI clone wars and any episodes with him are crap. That is why the cartoon clone wars from a few years ago is much better I don't think jar jar is even in it? ahmed best who played him is a tool, (he actually said there has never been a real comic character in a star wars movie) umm how about C-3po and R2?
You just have to block him out and don't let him get to you, and remember he was there for the kids, just like the ewoks, they were pretty annoying too, although not as much as jar jar.
As i said about the hulk, take nick nolte out and don't put his story into it and it may of been a good movie, but with the new one bruce's GF (liv tyler) hadn't seen him change. so the first movie is thrown out.

o brother, where art thou.
i love this fim - but most of my friends look at me cross-eyed if i try to make them watch it.
and most old movies. movies that have the "old movie" pacing [which is a lot, lot slower than the two minute dialogue/five minute action/thirty second bridge stuff we get today.

Well Roald Dahl didn't like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - so much so he wouldn't sell the rights to the second book, and it's box office performance was deemed less then desirable, like many similar films it's only become popular in recent years.
Ask most Lord of the Rings fans what they think of the likes of Bad Taste, Brain Dead and Meet The Feebles and the large majority will not believe it's from the same director.
Teenage Mutant Turtles, most hardcore fans didn't like the watered down-ness of the movies.
And Power Rangers well it was hardly a movie for the critic was it?
Except that not only is the film generally deemed superior to the book(which I agree with), but it's considered to be one of the best fantasy films ever. I don't know a single person who doesn't love that movie.
That's not necessarily a bad thing.
I know a lot of Turtle fans(including myself) that love the first film's interpretation.
You'll always get those hardcore fans who'll prefer the original work(s), this is a case I've seen many-a-time with fans of the likes of Dahl, Rowling, Crichton and of course King (et. all). I've come across many-a-people who'll despite Wilder and co. best efforts will stay faithful to the book and even pick holes in the silver screen adaptation.
Bad Taste (along with Brain Dead and Meet The Feebles) are those films that are so bad they're good, and from a critical perception you'll find most critics discussing Jackson's career mentioning this it wasn't until Heavenly Creatures he began and indeed the movie world began to take him seriously.
As for TMNT again like my point on Willy Wonka you'll have those who'll stay fiercely loyal to the original incarnation - in this case comics.
And yes whilst I love Power Rangers it was hardly a critical success with many a parent bored out of their skull having to sit through it with their offspring. And unlike say Toy Story or The Goonies it's not a film many people will own up to even possessing.
All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.

matrix reloaded and revolutions. somehow the plot got all convoluted from all the "philosophical" references or whatnot. but i loved the first one enough to watch the rest of the stuff.
