The "lovable" bumbling loser character almost ruins the movie
WTF was he thinking with that kid at the begining?
I knew I recognized the co-lead actor from something i'd seen him in before
What's with all the lesbianism?
Surprised that Johnny Lee Miller never got a real shot in Hollywood after this
Looks like a stock photo of Sigourney Weaver from Alien Resurrection
OMG! Who the the hell cares?
Jody was an idiot for surrendering.

Sweeney has very nice breasts but comes nowhere near prime Alexandra Daddario. It's not even a fair comparison.
I believe it's the most flawed of the prequels overall but still great 'Star Wars'. A few simple but important tweaks would have significantly enhanced the movie & the entire trilogy IMO.
1. Cast Hayden Christensen from the start as a 14-16 year old Anakin. This would have been major in helping to establish the on-screen chemistry between the three leads from the beginning & better endeared him to the audience.
2. Reduce Qui Gon Jinn's role(He stays on the ship)/remove him entirely, replaced with Obi Wan as an idealistic, eager, young Jedi who discovered Anakin formed a bond with him, and felt compelled to train him as a Jedi.
3. Tone down/Tweak Jar Jar. Simply changing Jar Jar's speech to an unintelligible alien language would have gone a long way in making him more palatable to older audiences.
F*ck Mr Plinkett & those RLM hacks whose only claim to fame is their unfunny prequel bashing "satire" over 15 years ago. Those POS hacks helped get us Di$ney Star Wars and the saga ruining Di$ney trilogy, glowingly praising the absolute dumpster fire that was The Force Awakens, ("I loved it. It was everything I hoped it would be" ~Mike 'Fat F*ck' Stoklasa) until (gutless hacks that they are) started slowly changing their tune once fans started realizing what a giant pile of shit Di$ney created.
It never was. The Phantom Menace was always good 'Star Wars' even if the overall execution didn't work for you for one reason or another. I always respected George's decision to do give the audience something unique & creative while still tying it into the established universe in a way that made since. While the most flawed of the prequel trilogy (A few key tweaks would have greatly enhanced the film & the trilogy as a whole) it was still great "Star Wars" at its core & a cinematic achievement that played a significant role in advancing special effects in film.
While it still wouldn't be great, I'd dislike Alien 3 a lot less if it existed in a vacuum in some alternate doomed continuity but it's a terrible sequel that literally killed the series & it has unsuccessfully been trying to "resurrect" itself for 30 years. It's difficult to comprehend why this dreary, hopeless, nihilistic arthouse attempt at an Alien sequel is what the studio wanted as it's difficult to imagine a less commercially appealing, crowd-pleasing Alien film than Alien 3.
If you care to read my previous reply entirely, I already explained the nuance between attitudes of Julia Roberts' character & the daughter that directly addresses your query.
"She literally said "you cant trust white people, especially in these situations"
Actually the exact quote is "If the world falls apart, trust should not be doled out EASILY to ANYONE, especially white people."
It never gets brought up in the popular narrative, but Nicole and Ron Goldman were surrounded by shady drug people and criminal activity. Nicole and her BFF Faye Resnick did a lot of "swinging" & were quite fond of the white powder. As crazy as it sounds, Nicole's sister was literally dating a mafia hitman at the time of her death. Two mutual friends of theirs Brett Canton & Micheal Nigg were murdered in eerily similar fashion around the same time. Particularly Brett Canton who was similarly stabbed to death & nearly decapitated. All the evidence that suggested at least two attackers was ignored because the LAPD only had eyes from OJ. I definitely believe the murder was the result of some sort of drug debt.
Michael Jackson and his family are on record condemning the tabloid insult as dehumanizing, thinly veiled racism & no amount of doubling and tripping down on "Nuh uh, because I say so" will change that.
"Sorry, like I said - b-llshit." aka "Nuh uh, because I say so"
I posted a direct source to the Jackson family where he & his family publicly rebuke the slur "Wacko Jacko" as a dehumanizing, racist insult. Your "I say so" routine just isn't going to cut it. If you want to use racially tinged insults to refer to black icons than at least own it instead of being a dishonest & weaselly about it.
"Why are you bringing race into this tabloid slur I insist on using to refer to Michael Jackson that Jackson and his family publicly rebuked as a dehumanizing, racist insult" i.e. "Nuh uh, because I say so"
