Well, I saw it (only Star Wars movie I've ever seen) and I was suitably impressed enough to never watch another Star Wars movie. I'm told I'm missing out, and shouldn't judge the original series on "the shitty new ones". That is the overwhelming response. I've never personally known anyone to praise the Phantom Menace, from casual to hardcore Star Wars fans, and not one of my friends is likely to have been 'influenced' by critics, especially as we were about 15/16 when it came out.
