- 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.
Qui Gonn is the man.

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.

I was 19, and I remember the build up, the excitement. I remember standing in line and anxiously waiting for the tickets to go on sale. I remember standing in line again to see the filmand then I remember the overwhelming sense of disappointment that it didn't live up to even the magic of the re-released trilogy that came up in the three or four years prior.

I was 29 and found TPM to be a let-down. The OT was filled with humans playing characters and ships that were actually crafted and posed. When ships exploded, there were actually filmed detonations and when you saw hundreds of characters in a scene, they were actually there acting. We moved to set pieces constructed entirely by computer and characters constructed the same way. I appreciate the workmanship of the OT than CGI can never match.

Long-time Star Wars fan.
I'm 34 now (May 2nd is my birthday) so back in '99, when this came out I just turned 17.
Soyeah, I was 17.
As far as me "Liking it"? Meh
I thought Darth Maul was totally badass. Hell, I still think he's badass. Qui-Gon Jin, also. Maul and Qui-Gon are, in my opinion, the only memorable "new" characters that came from the prequels. Totally sucks that they were killed off in only the first film that they appeared in.
Overall, I was a bit disappointed but I still mildly enjoyed it.

I was 4 years old when it came out and I loved it. It was the film that made me fall in love with Star Wars. As I have gotten older, I've grown to see the flaws in the film and consider it to be the weakest of the Prequels, but I still really like the film.
