Star Wars - Episode I, The Phantom Menace (Full Screen Edition)

Summary: SPECTACULAR!
Review: Knowing what is said about TPM, I personally found the movie breathtaking...the lightsaber duels were soooo good, I was completely swept away...I didn't much like Anakin, but thought Yoda, Jar-Jar, Amidala and, of course, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon were fantastic...there was a host of wonderful actors who, though they had little to say, brought life to the characters. No need to talk about how stunning the special effects were - this is Star Wars after all :-D

Summary: Natalie Portman was Outstanding!
Review: I have to say, I'm the huggest Natalie Portman fan and when I found out that she was going to be playing the role of Queen Amidala, I flipped out! This movie was outstanding! I loved it everytime I saw it in theatres! This movie captured the essence of Star Wars and the special effects made the film even better! I just want to say that this movie is well worth buying because it is part of the legend of Star Wars! Anyway this is the video to get! Buy it now!

Summary: Worst Episode Ever and Bad George Attitude!
Review: Everything was bad in this movie except of some Special effects, that will only look good on a DVD format, but since Goerge is Still suffering from his failare in marketing DIVX, he's just playing it straight mean! Oh Yeah and Eposide II will have Leonardo De'Caprio as the star,hmmm I see where george has totally lost his touch and how he is taking Star Wars glorie down the drain!

Summary: young, caring Skywalker leading up to the evil Vader
Review: All the negative reviewers need to pipe down. After a 14 year drought, this Star Wars was just as good as the first three. True, the actors were probably left to direct themselves, but the creatures and the special effects were great. We got to see the future connection between Palpatine and young Skywalker. Did anyone catch the fact the Skywalker was caring and kind as a child? We all know what he becomes later on. This alone will make me anticipate the next two movies to see how he becomes so "twisted and evil". And, at the end of the movie, we got to see young Obi-wan sporting the brown robe with the hood. Natalie Portman was elequent in her role as the queen. This is an instant classic! Buy it!

Summary: I have thought with I appreciation on the that one film
Review: For of you the which an express bank of the film the passage of the activity tried, lighting up on the other hand the new name. If however that, which is tried, a film with the model, which means is, which are acceptable in the acceptable newspaper, any impressive and stimuli of the scenes of the fight terrorize, it seems one, or the other one of future, this is reliably the film for they. Not between this film, which this the fact that thinks, each question, which you have, into total-small cleaned, because surprised one in stocks will be in the warehouse, it occurs above not recovered. However it goes to film without way, stopping for it sees this linkage on the means, almost large. That flour rope is marvelous and small Jake Loyd is not defective, since something she caused as thought. The special effects, which go, stunned. Who would the film without large tape of the disturbance be? No necessity for the miracle here, because this is largely. It had a problem with this film, JarJar. In the time, time I to determine to worrisome found, but given the rest worthiness of this film, was simple to obtain over my difficulty with JarJar. On all function that this film a job fine for the remainder of this saga the continuation has installs left. To the extremity, that of a desire leave to know and following impatience the more for system. If you saw three first, since I had formed 20yrs.ago over this begun at the soft age of 4 and in this continuous lighting installation with the years, it lacks to this film without way -- this text forms for reference the output of the tape of VHS

Summary: Jar Jar must die!
Review: If Jar Jar is in the next movie, I'll only see it if he get beheaded by a light saber. It was sad to see this movie made into nothing but a money making cash cow for George Lucas. The movie wasn't made to be a great movie, it was made to sell merchandise. I suppose I would have liked it quite a bit more if I was 6 years old but sadly I'm not. Shame on you George!

Summary: entertaining
Review: a great film that improves with each viewing. although severalcharactors are in the movie briefly their presence leaves an impact. jar jar binks was one charactor our entire family especialy enjoyed. he created a sense of playfulness and humor.well worth the money to add this movie to your collection.

Summary: A very good movie despite what people say
Review: I know a lot of people say that this is the worst Star Wars movie yet, George Lucas should have spent more time on character development, blah blah blah. But I think that Episode I was a very good movie. Sure Jar-Jar was annoying and reaked of Roger Rabbit, but once you get past that, you will see that The Phantom Menace was a very good movie. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the lightsaber battles were excellent, the music superb, the special effects fantastic. If Episodes II and III are half as well made, we will all be in for a treat.

Summary: Star Wars episode 1
Review: Yes the special effects were outstanding...but I found the characters lacking heart and passion. Obi was the one bright light and Anakin was believable....but I remeber when Darth Vader came on screen you were afraid very afraid not so with this Darth Maul. Great fight scenes wonderful cities the graphics georgeous. But overall I was disappointed it moved too quickly and delivery of some of the dialog was like being read from a script.

Summary: Classic Star Wars Returns
Review: I was skeptical from the beginning, convinced that Mr. Lucas could only mess this one up. I was very wrong and pleasantly surprised at the quality of the movie and talent behind it. The f/x are spectacular(and this is coming from someone who is NOT easily impressed by such things) and I actually found some of the acting to be very strong and very deeply felt, especially in Liam Neeson's case, who gives the performance of a lifetime, and Natalie Portman, who manages to be strong and intelligent and beautiful and willful and funny all at the same time. It's genuinly well written, exciting and slow paced, just like the other three movies. I grew up with Star Wars, it's been in my life, thanks to my sis and brother, since the day I was born, and I tell you with that perspective that this is a great movie. Is it 'Empire'? No, but not many things are. Is it better than 'Jedi', either one of the worst 'greatest movies' or best bad movie of all time? You better believe it. And if you view it with an open mind, you'll enjoy it very much.
