When a poorly written slag of garbage does better than the dramatic tour de force that is THE PHANTOM MENACE, it's time to question whether or not there is a God.
Oh, and when you adjust for inflation, these movie ALSO made more money than THE PHANTOM MENACE:
Gone With the Wind (1939)
Star Wars (1977)
The Sound of Music (1965)
E. T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Titanic (1997)
The Ten Commandments (1956)
Jaws (1975)
Doctor Zhivago (1965)
The Jungle Book (1967)
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
Ben-Hur (1959)
101 Dalmatians (1961)
The Exorcist (1973)
The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
It's not fair. These horrible "films" did better than a movie that made me laugh, made me cry, but most of all, made me think.
