Summary: why no DVD
Review: Great movie. If old George Lucas had any brains left in his head he would release a DvD version of it. I'd Buy it along with millions of other Star Wars fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Star Wars Episode I
Review: Great movie...better than the first three. More action, better special effects, better action scenes. Ewan MacGregor and LIAM NIESON (especially Liam) were awesome.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Could Have done better, but good!
Review: Ha Ha Ha, I'm just laughing because I can't believe how much bad reviews this is getting. First of all the movie was OK not horrible or bad. I have seen like 1,200 movies since I was 5 years old and this is not horrible. This movie was to focused on a young audience and forgot about us adults and I didn't really like Jar Jar, he was for kids. The movie was a little boring in some parts but I guess this episode is more of an introduction to the whole story. The best part was the end fight, and I wish there was more Darth Mull and fighting. The DVD itself is very good and this is what all DVD packs should be like.
Nuff said.

Summary: Some of you people just don't get it........
Review: Hahahaha!

Hey, all you dopes out there who like to be "rebelious" and slam this movie, YOU KNOW YOU'LL BE STANDING IN LINE WHEN "EPISODE II" COMES OUT!

Is this the best movie ever made?

Of course not.

Is the acting bad and the dialogue corny?

Absolutely.

Guess what..."Star Wars", "Empire Strikes Back", and "Return of the Jedi" were poorly acted and had dopey dialogue as well, you morons! Why were they so successful? Action. Explosions. Great light saber battles between good and evil. Weird new creatures. And....get ready for this....they were FUN! "Episode I" had all of those things. You people expect too much. It's just a movie. It's 2 hours of pure escapist entertainment meant for everyone to enjoy (yeah, even the kiddies). Bash it if you will (it is the "cool" thing to do after all). But mark my words......

YOU **WILL** BE STANDING IN LINE WHEN "EPISODE II" COMES OUT, AND YOU KNOW IT! Hahahahhahahahahaa!

Summary: Watch This Movie TWICE Before You Rate It
Review: Has this ever happened to you: Friends tell you about a movie. They tell you it is one of the best flicks they have ever seen. You decide you must see it because of all the recommendations you've received. You leave the theater thinking to yourself, "Why did my friends think this movie was so great? It wasn't that big of a deal!" Then, you see the movie again a few months later, and it is only then that you realize how great the movie truly is. Has this ever happened to you?

I saw the very first Star Wars movie when I was still a teenager back in 1977. When this latest movie of the series - "The Phantom Menace" - hit the theaters, I was there! And, I left the theater somewhat disappointed. A couple of months later I rented it and watched it at home and I realized I had set myself up! In other words, I went to the theater with expectations so high, there was NO WAY ANY movie could have lived up to them.

As I watched the movie at home, I recognized the absolute greatness of this movie! This flick is a blockbuster and a half! Pure excitement from beginning to end. Learn a lesson from my experience: If you get your expectations too high, you will most likely be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Only the most jaded would not like it
Review: Have we grown so old and jaded that we can't see STAR WARS through the eyes of a child again? Not I: This movie was a blast from beginning to end, leaving me wanting more. As for you stinkers that found it too childish or silly: You've totally missed the point.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's STAR WARS!!
Review: Having grown up with the original Star Wars Trilogy, I found it hard to give this movie anything under 5 stars, but the plot was practically non-existant. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, however. Ewan McGregor is excellent as a young Obi-Wan. He perfectly portrays a young Jedi who is learning his ways. The film is beautifully done, even if it is painfully obvious at times that CGI is happening. Apart from the lack of a plot, the only other problem I had with this film was Jar-Jar Bink's character. He was obviously added for young viewers' delight, but I found him tedious and juvinile. This was an excellent film, however, and I highly recommend it for all Star Wars fans.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Amateur Effort
Review: Having thoroughly enjoyed the first two Star War movies and suffered through the third with the little folks in the koala bear suits, I didn't expect much from the fourth and received even less than I had hoped for.

How could Lucas have gone so badly wrong? No director in his right mind would attempt to interleave multiple unrelated action scenes: meanwhile back at the ranch, back to the other ranch, back to another ranch, back to the first ranch, etc., and hope that any of them would have dramatic impact. The scenes with Anakin's mother were painfully poorly edited; you or anyone else could do better. They were pathetic examples of the film-makers art.

This pathetic excuse for a movie seems to me to be a product of putting the cart before the horse. Instead of special effects supporting a story line about people and their interactions, human actors instead fill in the blanks between special effects. The result was uninteresting, threadbare and worst of all, childish and amateurish. Human actors were an inconvenient component in a super-animation movie. If technology could have allowed Lucas to replace them altogether with computer generated imagery, he would have dispensed with them entirely. The film is a Saturday morning cartoon.

This was the first of more than one sad ending to a fantastic movie trilogy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: better than the original three films
Review: hello my name is matthew smith.and i feel that this film is so much better than all three films from the original triology. Jar Jar Binks is the greatest creation in the history of filmmaking.I hope we see alot more of him in episode III.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another Lucas film to try and figure out the saga!
Review: Here is another good film from George Lucas to help everyone figure out the Star Wars saga! I saw it in the theater and then purchased it once it became available to the public.

The typical story, evil trying to take over the world, good triumphs over evil, etc. But who can resist look at and listening to Liam Neeson??!!!! :o) Of course, it doesn't beat the original Star Wars film nor the rest of the trilogy but it is a good movie, enjoyable, entertaining and the special effects are awesome!

I'm sure most everyone has seen the movie, and if you own the Star Wars trilogy set then you'll need to add this one to your collection!
