16 and it was my first Star Wars movie : I didn't hate it but I was confused and thought that Star Wars was not for me.

I was five, but it wasn't my first Star Wars movie in theaters. I remember seeing all three of the original trilogy when they came out in the special edition re-releases. Those are some of my very first memories actually.
I loved the Phantom Menace just as much.
Over time I obviously came to appreciate the original trilogy more, but I never outright disliked The Phantom Menace.

About 4, same as you. But I watched the original films before I watched the prequels.

I was eight and also enjoyed it but now after watching all of them, I enjoy the originals more

I was 17, and like someone mentioned before, a huge fan of all the PC games and merchandise of that time. X-Wing and Tie Fighter were truly legendary games.
I remember being disappointed, hating Jar Jar Binks and the kid but quite happy with Liam Neeson, Darth Maul and the final duel.
I remember seeing the original remastered trilogy at the theatres 2 years earlier, that had more of an impact on me.

Let's just say, I was much older than all of you, heh hehI saw the original outing of ep 4 when it came out on the big screen, so you can appreciate how frustrating it was to wait so long for the "rest of the story", only to ultimately be disappointed at how wooden and slow moving these were

20, thought it was about as good as the originals. Especially with the pod racing and score.

bheadher — 9 years ago(September 20, 2016 06:12 PM)

Oh, it was good in its own waythe race itself was kinda fun, but to me the movie didn't have the same kind of character "zing" the original had

From my point of view I have a hard time reconciling the two trilogies as the overall feel is vastly different. the prequels lack in natural feeling from the character and no excitement and adventure.

The prequels lack charisma.

25. And for someone who had grown up with seeing each one upon release. I have to say it sucked.
    Just kidding. I really enjoyed it back then and like it even more when I watch it today. Not as good as any of the OT for me but not much is.

9, and thought it was pretty good (although I think I was surprised that Obi-Wan had a pretty small and antagonistic role, but not really displeased with that).

ThatGuy25 — 9 years ago(September 24, 2016 08:59 PM)

I don't know why but I always liked that portrayal of obi wan as a young man. It the wildness referenced in empire strikes back. (Can't remember exact line).

I also remember that my dad overall liked the movie but disliked that he couldn't understand what Jar-Jar was saying. I didn't really like or dislike Jar-Jar although I liked a few of his gags.

I was 7 and was very intrigued and excited. I hadn't seen the originals in full, only parts but I had liked them.

I was 13 and it was freakin' awesome!!! I immediately came home humming Duel of The Fates and began to draw pictures of random jedi fighting dudes with red lightsabers. I still think that movie was the best of the prequels. There's alot of magic in it, even if it wasn't well executed.

I see what you are saying. The other two kind of feel like "roll your sleeves up, we gotta do some brutal stuff"
Probably placing an emphasis on war and politics instead of adventure and cool new lands.
(This is coming from gasp a prequel lover!!!)
