I maintain that Phantom Menace is a bad movie, but nowhere near the horrible movie its reputation suggests. <\/p>\n<p>MovieBob has a pretty good take on this:<\/p>\n<p><table class='nomargin' cellspacing='0' width='100%' cellpadding='0' align='center' border='0'><tr><td><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_0KI-jyJlj8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen class=\"embed\"><\/iframe><br\/><small><a href='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_0KI-jyJlj8'>Link (YouTube)<\/a><\/small><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s STAR WARS. So when you get a crappy Star Wars it hurts. Not because the movie is bad, but because it means we won&#8217;t be getting the awesome movie we&#8217;d hoped for. So I get why people feel so much hate for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>57:47: Quantum Break<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>1:02:36: Doom 4  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I promised I&#8217;d link <a href=\"http:\/\/mrwasteland.itch.io\/twwds\">The Writer Will Do Something<\/a>.
