10 Lame Characters That Ruined Otherwise Awesome Films
1. Jar Jar Binks (Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace)
Look, the idea of The Phantom Menace being an awesome film is debatable, but there was a world-wide revolt against the character of Jar Jar Binks. He was just grotesque: a village idiot that achieved fame and recognition he did not deserve. Also, Jar Jars catchphrases of meesa, and yousa, and oh mooey mooey I love yoooou! makes him an even worse racist caricature than the aforementioned Chi Fu. There are many things that are on the nose about The Phantom Menace: the unintentionally funny dialogue; Jake Lloyds wooden acting; Ewan McGregors haircut. But Jar Jar is the cherry that proudly sits atop the inedible sundae. A googly-eyed, gangly troglodyte that needs a muzzle on his gob. A floppy-eared nerd. Im in two minds about Star Wars continuing on after Episode Six, but as long as I never have to sit through a movie that includes a moronic amphibian that jabbers in jibberish, then its all a-ok with me.
