To add in my .02 cents... I liked Phantom Menace. I think a lot of the criticism it got was not deserved, such as "It was intended for kids." I can't believe anyone would say that Phantom Menace was more kid-oriented movie than first trilogy. I don't think it was as good as any in the first trilogy (for various reasons), but I don't think it was bad, either. Jar Jar was a little hard to understand at times, but I didn't find him an offensive character, nor should he have been the scapegoat for the moving being "bad".
I didn't like: Moulin Rouge: Very artsy and hard to follow. I never got through the whole thing. O Brother Where Art Though. ( See above) Lost in Translation: I thought it was boring. Someone else mentioned Chronicles of Riddick. I thought they did a good job if tying the first and second movies together. My only additional thought there is that the first hour of the movie was like watching a strobe light, w/ all the explosions and stuff going on.
