Because for most of the movie she's not Queen Amidala she's Padme. And the teaser poster had Anakin on it. What journey did she go on, she started a Queen, ended a Queen...and did some monotone stuff inbetween.

Reserved as in she doesn't show much emotion; she keeps a lot of it inside (or at least until no one is looking). She's a bit naive because puts her trust in people of power who are more experienced, even if they seem sketchy (remember, she's just a teenager at this point). Palpatine being a huge example, and to a lesser degree, Qui-Gon Jinn.

I have officially now watched these reviews more than the films. I'm almost thankful for the prequels now - we wouldn't have Plinkett otherwise. Ironically....the bashing is so beautiful it now justifies their creation.

We don't really see some of those in the movie. Reserved and naive, where did you get that?

Absortus Says:
All movies got their problems, that is right, but the point would be: how do these problems make the movies look/feel. If there is something that makes the movie feel/look/whatever bad, boring, fake, etc. Then it's a big deal. If there is a problem but the movie still feels/look/whatever good, exciting, real, etc. Then, no big deal. Got it?

I can describe Queen Amidala with the conditions given: She is reserved, kind, a bit naive, but also very brave when you wouldn't expect her to be. She puts the needs of others before her own. Now for Qui-Gon Jinn: He's a seasoned, all business, sort of a "been there, done that" type. He's wise, but sometimes makes questionable decisions, the kind that shape the rest of the saga.

I'm seriously not trying to be mean here, but what is your age. Because i remember this movie came out when i was in 8th grade and i loved the shit out of it, and thought the originals were boring. But now that i'm a little older I understand the originals and realize how amazing the message and feeling they give people, and re-watched the prequels, and realized how terrible they were.

The phantom menace was so poorly written, that it took me 5 years to realize it was the story about darth vadar as a kid. This review made me realize what a shit movie it really was, seemed so awesome as a kid, but nowadays the movie is Hollywood garbage.

This reviewer needs some help with his voice. It's getting annoying. Great review though.

Its perfectly fine to like the prequels, but do not let your bad taste confuse you into thinking that the originals have the same problems as the prequels.

Qui-Gon's only character trait is that he is a maverick. He does things in ways Jedi shouldn't always do them. He kinda does things his own way just to get things done however he wants them. but this trait is not easy to pick out until you examine his methods (which is analyzed later in this review). Even so, the fact that he only has one major character trait shows how pitifully the character was written.

Ah, the classic fallback argument for every stupid pro-prequel fan. This time you added the little retarded twist that every movie is as bad as the prequels. You all like to say that the originals have the same problems as the prequels, but none of you have ever pointed out 1 that could be held up against scrutiny.

Btw, you never actually answered my question, only dodged it with another question, so you have no right to dismiss any of my arguments. Just saiyan :3

LaccaTony Says:
Other than the terrible script, the bland characters, and the over abundance of CGI, the main problem with the prequels is the prophecy, and the ridiculous idea that Anakin is the chosen one, that he is some mythical being created by the force. The prequels should have started and ended with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
