TPM is my fave PT film hands down.
Sure - it's got some
HORRIBLE elements, but as touched on already, Liam Neeson, Ewan & Ian McDiarmid provided a solid foundation to the film, & the real sets went a long way. Natalie Portman was good with what she was given - & I've always been a fan of hers. However, her forever morphing Queenie accent just did my head in.
Ray Park as Maul / Jedi & Sith final battle -
I loved all the royal Naboo related moments; architecture, costumes, N-1 starfighters, speeders etc. Great stuff.
Pod Race was a bittersweet affair for me. I liked some of the pacing & vehicle designs, but the Muppet pilots & drawn out intro piece just became laboursome to tolerate.
Ani, his buddies, Watto, -
. I of course FF though ALL the Gungan stuff.
That said - I still rate it well above the other two.
