I don't really HATE any Star Wars movie, to be honest, even the prequels, but my least favorite is The Phantom Menace. Besides the fact that all the space vehicles looked like they just came off the showroom floor, and it introduced the hightly ineffectual battle droids, it just left you thinking, "What in the world does this movie have to do with anything?!" They really could have just started off with Attack of the Clones, and you really won't have felt like you were missing anything. Still, the lightsaber duel admittedly kicked ass.

I was tempted to wonder how in the world anybody could pick Star Wars as their least favorite Star Wars movie (and I guess I'm still doing that) since it started it off, its plot fell back so well on the familiar archetypes, it was nominated for best picture, etc., etc. And while I still don't see how people can pick that one as their least favorite, it really is a subjective thing, and, just because it was first and just because it did this and did that isn't necessarily a reason to like it. But I like it. It's fun, it's thrilling, it's classic!
