Summary: Episode II: Electric Boogaloo
Review: All I know after watching this film five dozen times is that Jar Jar is a clumsy Gungan with a knack for finding troubles...or do troubles find him? Truly, Jar Jar is the existential everygungan, whose bumbling and occasional stumbling irritated and offended audiences everywhere. Especially given the "Clones" title for Episode II, I am forced to conclude that Lucas has totally lost it and that his time would be better spent adding CGI footage to "Howard the Duck." Nice one, George. ...

Summary: We waited 16 years for this?????
Review: Star Wars Episode 1 would have to go down in film history as the biggest disappointment ever. What a piece of rubbish! The script is appalling, the acting non-existant (everyone just stands around saying their lines, without any feeling or emotion, looking like they desparately want to know what's happening on that green-screen behind them), and the computer generated FX so overwhelming that its like having spectacular fireworks let off in your face for 2 hours ... my brain went into fatigue-mode after about an hour.George's excuse for my above comments? I would imagine him saying something like this - "The script is bad because I hate writing scripts; the acting was bad because it was nearly all shot in front of a green-screen; and the CGI was so over the top because we had to take the audience's eyes away from the bad acting." And we can only hope that Jar Jar Binks is sliced into little pieces by a lightsabre during the opening of Episode 2 ("Attack of the Clowns .. er, Clones??? Please pass the bucket ...... ). As well as hoping that George isn't directing Ep 2. Lets face it, Georgie ... just sell the Star Wars license to someone who knows how to make a good movie, because you've forgotten how to. In closing - 'Star Wars' (I can't bring myself to call it "A New Hope") was fantastic; "Empire Strikes Back" will be looking on in 50 years time as a movie classic; "Return of the Jedi" was a let-down, but great anyway; "Phantom Menace" was complete (pretty) garbage!

Summary: Back to basics
Review: I have a basic observation of the film vs. the original Star wars movies. Why did Lucas choose to bring out the later episodes first, and episode one later? All things in life have a beginning, middle and an end. Logic should tell us that the first episode would set the stage, building on the entire story from there. As time progressed the story, the characters, technology in the story, as well as the technology surrounding the making of the movie would progress as well. As I watched the movie I found myself trying to piece the history and the characters together in reverse, but it didn't click for me. I don't think any sequel will have the same freshness and charm that Star Wars did. You really cared about the characters in the original movies. Did you care about these characters? I didn't. For me the mark of a good movie is one the involves the viewer. Does it draw you in as a participant, or are you just watching a big screen video game. Episode I is a special effects masterpiece, not a great movie.

Summary: A horrible thing to think of when you think of Star Wars
Review: Star Wars: Great
Empire Strikes Back: Amazing
Return Of The Jedi: Great
The Phantom Menace: Vomit Inducing Star Wars Episode 1 is one of the worst films of made. George Lucas should really be ashamed because of this pile of puke. It is mainly about Ankain Skywalker as a pod racer. The battles are nothing spectacular and are better done in movies Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or The Seven Samurai. The Special FX are nothing compared to The Matrix. I wanted Episode 1 to be about The Sith Wars, not about Pod Racing. WHO CARES?!?! And anyone who think that this is better than Empire Strikes Back needs to rewatch the original Trilogy. I am not looking forward to Attack Of The Clones (sounds like an Ed Wood movie, doesn't it?). I suggest waiting for the MEGA BOX SET to come out if you want Star Wars. Because if you have seen the original trilogy and haven't seen this, you will be disapointed from this.

Review: I have been dreaming, waiting, hoping, whishing - ever since I was 10 years old - that one day we could watch the STAR WARS saga at home on large TV SETS - well technology has caught up with the fantastic vision of GEORGE LUCAS from a long time ago....and now with my 54" SONY and SONY DVD - my dreams are coming true! STAR WARS on DVD - CLEAN - CRISP - CLEAR - true to the way George had meant it to be seen - A MUST HAVE FOR ANYONE with a heart, mind, soul of a child looking up to the sun - searching for adventure and excitement. THE FORCE WILL BE WITH YOU.....ALWAYS.

Summary: Misunderstood Hollywood Blockbuster
Review: Don't buy into the hype of hating this movie, it truly delivers on everything that made the original trilogy so great. The story on the surface dumbfounded some, and completely enlightened the true Star Wars fan, the ones that realized what the "real" story is: Palpatine's rise to Supreme Chancellor. And finally we get this amazing film on the far superior format of DVD. I would have been happy with just the feature, but check out those extras! The Force is strong...

Summary: Shame on Mr Lucas!!!
Review: I did enjoy the parts of the movie that had the Jedis but the whole thing about Jar-Jar ruined the whole movie for me. Lets hope that if he is in the 2nd movie that he DIES at the first so the movie can be good.

Summary: I enjoyed the movie...
Review: Here is another point of view. I enjoyed the movie myself. I was never a Star Wars fan growing up and don't think I watched or gave any of the original movies a chance until I watched Star Wars: Episode 1. Afterwards, I ended up watching and buying the previous movies as well as this one. This is why I think people's expectations for this movie let them down. I didn't have that much expectation for this or the other movies until I saw this one. Yes, I do agree that Jar Jar Binks is somewhat annoying at times but that didn't take away from my enjoyment. For those who want to exclude this movie from their 'Star Wars' world, would have to exclude it all.....it's all part of George Lucas' vision for Star Wars.

Summary: Love Star Wars...hate Jar Jar
Review: I love and grew up enjoying the Star Wars Trilogy/saga. I cannot wait for Episode II to release next May. I am disappointed however in the needless characters that have been added into the films to try and make it more comedic and appealing to the younger kids, with asinine characters like the Ewoks in "Return" and Jar Jar in "Phantom." ....
