Summary: I can't belive you people!
Review: How can you people sit around and do this? How can you critic George Lucas's masterpiece? I thought this movie was EXELLENT! While I agree that Jar Jar was a bit much, and I'm a little ticked about Lucas not putting TPM out on DVD, I still loved it all. I mean, come on! This is Star Wars! Let me remind you that this movie was not meant to be like the others. TPM was meant to familiarize you with the characters, and to prepare you for the next movie. I don't care what anyone says, this is still my favorite movie. I think it should have been nominated for an Oscar.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Biggest disappointment in recent cinematic history
Review: How could Lucas have managed to so thoroughly kill everything that was cool about the original trilogy? This movie is an overlong, poorly-written, horribly acted series of merchandising tie-ins. (There might as well have been a flashing subtitle during the pod race sequence that said "BUY THE VIDEO GAME".) "The Force", originally conceived as a manifestation of spiritual development, is now explained away as the result of tiny organisms living in a person's blood. I hear that in Episode 2, Yoda grabs a light saber and starts carving people up -- the same Yoda who said "War does not make one great". What's next, "Gandhi 2: Revenge of the Mahatma"?!?! Lucas has obviously lost the instinct and talent he had while making the first 3 movies.

The last movie I can remember that was as disappointing as this when compared to the original was "Highlander 2", and as in the case of the Highlander movies, I'm going to do my best to pretend that the new sequels don't exist.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Phantom Menace No. 1 movie ever!
Review: How could you not like The Phantom Menice. It was the bestmovie I've ever seen! I liked the original Star Wars movies and TheEmpire Strikes back was my favorite movie for many years, untill The Phantom Menice came along. This movie had everything, wonderful and exotic locations, plenty of action, one of the most intricate plotlines that I've seen in a long long time. I really liked Ja Ja Binks he was refreashing comic relief in such a busy movie. I thought Queen Amidala was a very strong role modal for young girls. People dogged the movie because of all the hipe but if they sit down and watch the movie with your friends and family you'll agree with me that this is the best movie ever.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Disapointing, made for masses, predictable big-budget BOMB
Review: Hugely dissapointing, made for masses and childen with bathroom humor and stereotypes abound this movie was the biggest dissapointment of the year. Jarra Jarra Banks alone makes this movie unbearable to watch.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: VHS release a dissapointment
Review: I absolutely love this movie. I've seen it at least over 20 times so far in the theatres which includes the American premier, the American Digital Edition, I've seen it in Toronto and was fortunate enough to see the Premier in Spain last summer. The Spanish version was sooo much better too. Jar Jar doesn't sound so stupid and Neimodiens don't sound like Chinese Cooks. I don't understand this money making ploy to release such a quality movie on such cheap media though. I suppose it's economically not yet practical yet to release the DVD considering the size of the DVD community, but man, I can't wait any longer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Incredible DVD for a fantastic movie!
Review: I absolutly love this DVD and this movie. The extras are amazing. If you are a hardcore Star Wars fan or even a small child you will enjoy this. And of corse the movie itself is top notch. One of the best movies since the classic trilogy. If you buy it watch everything. I did and even after 6 hours of extras I was left wanting more. I cannot wait untill Attack of the Clones comes out. And by the way I like that title and I like Jar Jar Binks so get off my back! Peace, and may the force be with you!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Somebody wake me up.
Review: I admit I am not the biggest Star Wars fan, but this movie did put me to sleep. I just found the acting and the storyline horrible.

What is even worse is that the DVD is so uneven in its video quality, that I found myself constantly checking my DVD player to make sure there was nothing wrong with it. Argh!

The video presentation on this DVD could have been SO MUCH better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: stop whining
Review: i admit that the way Lucas did the Star Wars thing was kinda goofy...i mean whole episode 4-6 first and 1-3 last.....but everyones whining about it soooooo much, its not that big of a deal...and no it does not make the movies predictable...it just sorta makes sure you wont get confused....anyways about Episode 1...i thought the plot didnt go right...plot went to fast during the whole thing....but i did LOVE the saber duel between Maul and the 2 jedi...best saber fight scene ever!!...only reason i give it 4/5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Good
Review: I agree that Jar Jar Binks was overused and annoying, but brushing that aside, I enjoyed the film. It may not be the best of the Star Wars films (Empire Strikes Back may be the best so far), but it is a noble effort. It's still better entertainment than most of what you'll see on free TV. The DVD quality is quite good. Best moments: seeing Yoda alive again.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A mixed review.
Review: I agree with a lot of people who think this is the weakest of the STAR WARS films, but I'm not one those reviewers who gives this movie only one star because of Jar Jar Binks. EPISODE I still has a lot going for it. It has all the great special effects and action sequences that the first three movies contained, the pod race being one of the best examples. It also has a few really good characters like the quietly menacing Senator Palpatine and the criminally underused Darth Maul. I especially found Ewan McGregor impressive as a young Obi-Wan Kenobi.

But on the other hand, it does have its weaknesses. I am in complete agreement with those were annoyed with Jar Jar, but I also found Natalie Portman's performance as Queen Amidala as pleasant as someone trying to write on a chalkboard using a rusty nail. Furthermore, EPISODE I has the same rushed feel to it that 95% of all summer blockbusters have.

Overall rating: 3.5 stars.
