Summary: I will spare you the usual complaints...
Review: My five-year-old brother liked it. My fourteen-year-old brother thought it was childish. I think you might enjoy it if you are young enough.This movie has nothing to do with the masterful episodes IV and V. It is much closer in spirit to episode VI, which was already pretty bad and clearly targeted at a young audience. If you had no problems whatsoever with the Ewoks, you might be able to enjoy this... One good moment: the fight scene.

Summary: Why not DVD!
Review: A pretty good attempt however I think that Lucas draws too much appeal from the inevitably high level of nostalgia that Star Wars fans have from growing up with the original trilogy. Much more could have been done with the movie. The special effects are cool and all but w/o a solid script and core cast of characters that draw you into the story in a manner that is independent of the previous movies...ahem...works of art, long time fans are left with a bit of a sinking feeling. In short, those who saw the previous films will enjoy Phantom menace on a totally different level than the moviegoer who has not. (provided they realize that the new installments will never measure up to the institution that is STAR WARS.) But, in the words of Dennis Miller, "Thats just my opinion, I could be wrong!"

Summary: Engaging sci-fi fluff
Review: Despite some of the most sophisticated special effects, art direction, & costume design in cinematic history, 'Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace' lacks the originality of its counterparts. The acting is laughable: Jake Lloyd looks directly into the camera several times & Natalie Portman takes amazing strides in showing absolutely no emotion. The script & storyline doesn't make much sense either. Otherwise, George Lucas' overproduced misfire is entertaining camp. The elaborate scenes (including the pod race sequence) & John Williams' score are technically rousing but with Jar Jar flopping around, this is pretty much kiddie fare.

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: intergalactic shenanigans part 4 - the beginning
Review: The Phantom Menace is a highly entertaining fantasy romp - ok the acting varies from good to awful but the cinematography, sets, SFX, storyline and music are all top notch - the look and feel of the film is amazing and the story that is slowly unwravelling and will continue through the rest of the movies is compelling - keep 'em coming.

Summary: Looks like Disney "done it"
Review: Well like others who miss the orignal star wars I can finally pronounce this one DOV (dead on viewing) it seems like Disney got hold of this one and made it "cuter" sure it trys to appeal to everyone cute aliens,mystical message and all that but nothing about this could really hold my attention. George Lucas should follow the yellow brick road not try to recreate it.

Summary: A Feature Length Toy Commercial
Review: I was so hoping to love this movie. I plugged my ears and shut my eyes to the critic's reviews -only to find that they were right. None of the characters grew at all in the picture. Not one of them seemed to care about anything. They were flat and basically one-note characters. Only the future Emperor had a glimmer of life to him. The others had less enthusiasm than you see in your average fast-food employee. If you like SciFi, buy "The Matrix" or "Galaxy Quest". Give this one a pass.

Summary: I HATE THIS STUPID MOVIE!
Review: This movie was an outrage to the Star Wars saga. How did Mr. Lucas even release this terrible piece of film. Jar Jar MUST DIE. He was terrible, I missed half the movie because I could not understand one word that he said. Anakin MUST DIE AS WELL. What a terrible actor! How could George Lucas think that he was even acceptable. This torrid excuse for art is money in Mr. Lucas' pocket, he must be stopped. I can not believe that anyone liked this movie! What is our movie world coming to? I HATE THIS MOVIE!
