Sat, 02/11/2012 - 11:33am — brucelee

The kind of film that will have kids fidgeting in their seats, "Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace" got dismissive reviews in 1999, and it deserves the same today. But you probably know that. As that wizened space avocado Yoda might have put it -- long ago, and in a galaxy far, far away -- How looks the 3-D, your question is?
