I can't believe that this tool and Confused Mathew are actually not clear about the plot of this flick. My 8 year old nephew understood it just fine. Are there some holes, yes. Are there points that can be nitpicked, yes. But to act as if you plain dont understand the plot is ridiculous.
No, there is nothing to "understand" about this plot. RLM is completely right. The "relevant" plot is that Palpatine uses the Trade guys to advance himself politically, and that apparently this Naboo crisis somehow grows into the Separatist crisis (with no more information given other than Sidious is the chessmaster behind both, and the Trade guys are on board again).
Plinkett got that, and mentioned it repeatedly in his review. The complaint was that this "irrelevant" scheme was THE ENTIRE MOVIE, and nothing was told or shown about the Traders' motivations. And the fact that this movie was basically necessary because Palpatine happened to be a Senator on Naboo, pretty seals the deal on the plot of TPM being a complete total turd.
I wonder what your "8 year old nephew" "understood" about a whole bunch of superfluous nothing.
I still stand you have to be "retarded" not to "understand" the plot of this film on the first "viewing".
Except Plinkett (the character in the review) actually understood everything there was to understand, and your kid didn't have any material to understand to begin with.
He understood and mentioned what there was, and explained how the lack of any additional information made a deeper understanding IMPOSSIBLE.
