Well Looks like "The Phantom Menace" isn't as hated as many think. The 3D re-release has pushed the movie's box office over the original Star Wars for #4 all time in U.S. Box Office History and soon it will be ahead of The Dark Knight as the 10th highest grossing movie ever worldwide and the 11th film to hit 1 Billion at the Box Office. I saw it a few weeks ago. The 3D was decent this was their 1st try at it so I hope it gets better with the future episodes. It's amazing though the most polorizing Star Wars film is the highest grosses of them all. You see the anticapation for this movie is why it's box office is so crazy:
