Summary: Simply Awsome!
Review: The Phantom Menace is an execellent movie. The special effects are astounding and the acting is so much better then in the first three movies. Luke Skywalker was annoying: Anakin is wild, fun and inteligent for his age. Maybe, that is why he chooses the dark side.

Summary: Don't waste your money. The VHS version is LOW quality.
Review: George Lucas -You won't release Episode 1 on DVD. Why not? You are dictating to millions of people your preference of them watching Star Wars: The Phantom Menace on VHS. The VHS quality is very poor, compared to DVD. I purchased the widescreen version, expecting a much higher quality of recording on the videocassette. It is of such low quality (and the sound is severely limited by VHS - no 5.1 on a videocassette. The best you'll hope for is Pro Logic) that I am ashamed to play it for people. My home theater system is of the quality that it makes this low quality piece of trash show how low quality it is. Don't waste your time.

Summary: No.
Review: Ok, this movie isn't TERRIBLE, but it sure as hell isn't good. The actors come across as manequins reading from a teleprompter, and the story doesn't move along well at all (Lucas better jam a LOT of information into Episode II). And just to add salt to the wounds, this video has the poorest visual quality I've seen in a long time - the effects are ok, but the way they come across on VHS are just terrible. It has been known that Episode 1 IS coming out on DVD at the end of the year, but I, for one, will not buy it.

Summary: No matter what others might say this will be a CLASSIC
Review: I really loved to watch this film (but I would love it more if there's a DVD), Lucas really DID respected the original trilogy's style (it has the wipes, the music style, and the good old fashioned Star Wars action); The dialogue, plot was written by one single man (guess is Lucas) thus many people say that the dialogue is somewhat simplistic, I'm sure that it could have been better if the editor wouldn't have deleted some lines, (if you wanna know more about this last thing I shall recommend you the Illustrated screenplay anyway) Jar Jar acts as a "comic" break for the film's great action I found his way of spaking kinda cool (hello boyos!) and you know Lucas: he tends to add "funny" things in his films, (watch the original trilogy or Indiana Jones) I really loved this film's great music and cool sound effects, the Lightsaber battles were espectacular! It's whole family entertainment 'cause is somewhat light on violence. When Episode II is released many fans will say: "wow! this one is even better than the empire strikes back" and the critics: "well, definitely it's better made than Episode I, good thing Lucas heard our dislike" I'm very sure of that.

Summary: Best Light Saber Fights
Review: The fight seens in this movie are awsome,the cordination took them 2 months to do the final fight with Darth Maul. Out of all of the Star Wars movies i think this is the best! Ray Park is a 2 time world champion martial artist and he played Darth Maul, so if you like fighting movies,and action movies buy this movie today!

Summary: Force Feed
Review: "The Phantom Menace" is, in my opinion, the best "Star Wars" movie behind "The Empire Strikes Back". The story and characters may not be well developed but the action (the lightsaber battle with Darth Maul) and the great special effects make it a great film that's a lot of fun to enjoy. It's good that George Lucas kept some of the themes from the previous films going here: heroism, belief in destiny, and how evil in any form can be defeated. Should not be missed by fans of the trilogy or fans of great action films

Summary: flawed genius
Review: There are so many annoying and niggling faults with this movie that under normal circumstances it would be classed as a real turkey. But, George Lucas has an uncanny knack for storytelling and an unrivaled sense of imagination. Don't get me wrong, The Phantom Menace is a great movie but is a pale shadow of it's predecessors. The most noticeable problem is that of characterisation. The characters are quite soulless and deliver lines in robotic fasion , lacking the passion of the earlier Star Wars movies . That said, the pod race and final lightsabre fight in particular are exhilarating and the movie does retain a Star Wars feel to it. If only Lucas could pace episode 2 better than episode 1, which did drag in scenes on Tattoine and those involving the political debates with the senate, we could see a much improved sequel.
