I tend to try and compare stuff to stuff it's similar to, cause I enjoy everything for different reasons and I find it really weird to try and rate say, an action adventure movie to a horror movie on the same scale. That's just me and how I operate though.
To be honest and you might bash me for this, Id take Phantom Menace over Force Awakens. It has tons of flaws but at least it's not a worse rehash of the first movie in the franchise and nothing made me face palm as hard as fucking Starkiller Base. Im hoping for a hell of a lot more Rogue One which I thought was great and probably objectively the best Star Wars since Empire (even if Subjectively I think I enjoy ROTJ more and ROTS about as much) and less Force Awakens from The Last Jedi.
Anyway TPM is fresh at 55% because I think back then 50% was the threshold for "Fresh" rather than 60% and movies from that period have had their status basically grandfathered over.
Anyway at the time TPM pretty much revolutionized visuals in films. So it got a lot of points for that when it comes to review scores of the era in general. Like we all might hate Jar Jar, hell I do, but he was the first fully motion capture to CGI character ever, which was a big fucking deal in regards to visual effects development.
