Summary: Great movie
Review: this was a superb movie. The special affects where fantastic. Jar jar gets annoying alot. But if you are a true hard core fan you learn to ignore because that's the way george wants it, even if you don't totally agree.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It was boring and I couldn't follow the story
Review: This was a terrible movie. Technologically, it was kind of cool - and I liked the princess's costumes - but the story line was awful. The ultimate postmodern experience - all form and glitz, with no substance.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I wish they had a half star
Review: This was a total waste of talent, George Lucas should slap himself silly. I don't know what he was thinking when he made this movie but it stunk. Let me help anyone who hasn't seen this yet, have you seen the original three Star Wars? If you answered yes then you've seen Phantom Menace, it's like all Lucas did was take the three established movies squish them together and toss in some big Hollywood stars. And who ever came up with Jar Jar should be ashamed of themselves. The only thing that makes this movie worse is the pimple faced idiots thinking it's the greatest movie ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: In the Beginning
Review: This was a very good beginning to the series. I've read the reviews and only have a couple things to say...Those people whom were dissappointed...remember one thing...many of us were young when the original Star Wars episodes came out. To us...nothing could surpass them...they are immortal. The thing to understand is that our children will enjoy this updated work as we did the originals. I watched this with my son and was completely spellbound by the way he was drawn into the movie...as I was with Star Wars episode IV. This movie bridged a gap between me and my son....Finally a movie we could enjoy together. As for Ja Ja...did anyone ever think he was put there to draw a child's attention...like the Ewolks in VI. My son thought he was hysterical...and if you pay close attention he has a Bill Cosby quality about him...(the dentist joke from Bill Cosby Himself). For those that were too busy nit picking...I feel sorry for you...every gesture in this movie...every glance and smile, was leading to something greater. You're going to look foolish when the whole of this work unfolds...and then you'll have to watch this again to understand everything...

I was entirely pleased with this movie...it served as a fantastic step in the process of the masterpiece that has become a legend and has brought a new audience with it. I can't wait to sit in anticipation with my son and see what will unfold in Episode II...Enjoy the movie...and remember to those of us here from the beginning...nothing can replace the reverence we found in Episodes IV, V, and VI...but isn't it nice to know that we have the ability to share that with our children...Finally a movie that will draw them into the others so they can see it as we saw it...without automatically thinking...oh great, another old movie that mom and dad want me to watch.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: One Hell of a Movie
Review: THIS WAS AN EXCELLANT FILM! I wasen't old enough to watch the first,second,or third film in theaters, but i think that watching this in the theater brought the magic of of the film even better. If you are into films from lucas before, especially the original star wars trilogy, then you will REALLY enjoy this. I don't understand why most people gave this GREAT film such a bad review, saying that it was anoying with JarJar and such, but Lucas is trying to reach out to the new generation of kids so he can have more people to njoy the film.. It's just like when the 70's generation saw it, Lucas reached out to everyone, aking them enjoy it, so he thought he'd do that again with the comic releif JarJar.. Yeah, he is annoying, but to the younger adiences it's really funny, so they have something to enjoy about the movie also..It's not JUST supposed to be for adults, it's for everyone, and in order to do that, Lucas made a new character to relate to the younger fans... But, all in all, this FILM WAS THE BEST STAR WARS YET! Ground breaking special effects, great plot, and makes sence of the original star wars films.. This is a must see film, I RECOMMEND IT FOR EVERYONE!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Review: This was an excellent movie. I didn't get to see it nearly enough in the theatre so I have made up for it by watching the video continuously since it came out. The true Star Wars fan will realize what an incredible job George Lucas did in setting the stage for the next two movies. My friends and I can't stop trying to figure out the answers that are still to be given. We can't wait for II and III. Thanks Mr. Lucas, for another great beginning!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The 600 Million Dollar Failure
Review: This was by far one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The special effects were amazing but George forgot to craft a story to tell. Whithout the contents who cares how nice the box looks. This was a hollow empty shell of a movie populated by flat characters that you never care about. Let's open it up and take a look. No suspense, no creativity, no mind boggeling plot twists, no romance, no intersting characters...wait, what's this at the bottom? A little action and a few pretty pictures, hardly worth a 20 year wait. The only thing worse than the movie was the constant din of a small pack of blind Lucas devotees who won't admit that their God has failed, that he is a flawed human. These are the people that constantly re-watch the movie hoping that it gets better with each viewing and send around midless email and postings to try to get others to re-watch to try to artificaly jack up the domestic box, giving the illusion that George did a great job. The truth is he didn't. He's a much better storyteller than this. If you want to help him tell him. Stop pumping up the numbers and maybe he'll do the kind of work his genius is capable of.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not the best of all, but a good start.
Review: This was Georges dream. He wanted a movie full of great special effects, CGI backgrounds, tons of Digitally created creatures. He really delivered. However, it is a far cry from the orginal, where lots of ideas had to be invented for the first time. I thought it was great...afterall I saw it three times. If the next two can out do this one, george can proclaim himself ruler of sci-fi.
