Summary: It's Star Wars- need I say more?
Review: Well, even though I don't really need to, I will. For all of you out there who were disappointed in the film- I'm very sad to hear that, but be happy that Mr. Lucas decided to make the prequels at all! Imagine what kind of a decision that was- coming back to the director's chair from a sixteen year absense, not to mention to the most popular series of movies ever, fully knowing the public's impossible expectations. Don't think Episode 1, 2, or 3 will be like the original trilogy because it won't. Mr. Lucas has so much more to work with here, just have some faith in the guy that he'll tie everything up in a nice little bow at the end. You've got to remember- this is not a single movie, it's part of a series. And concerning Jar Jar- I liked him! And I'm not eight years old either! Mr. Lucas did not make this movie for one individual person- with the exception of himself. If Mr. Lucas likes him and thinks he's funny, great! Stop complaining and picking this incredible movie apart! For those of you who did like it- I'm with you(in case you couldn't tell already)! I thought it was fantastic- and not just the special effects. The plot had so much foreshadowing. Characters like Darth Maul, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan held you captive speculating about what was to come the entire 2 hours and 20 minutes! It was everything Star Wars is and was- an epic science-fiction adventure. It also left you craving for Episode 2 all the more with the unforgettable sound of Darth Vader's breathing after the innocent Anakin's theme finished the film. This movie is fantastic, and if you don't see it then you're definately missing out.

Summary: Star Wars Makes an Excellent Comeback
Review: The first in the trilogy were and will be the best, the technology used back then was the best, and now we have come by computer aniimation, and it seems that this costs more than it did back when they had no computer special effects, star wars will always be a deep though in everyone that watched it, these movies will live on for a long time.... even though everyone hates Jar Jar!

Summary: Naboo Palace Under Attack!
Review: This video was very skillfully done and very computer oriented. Even if you don't like sci-fi, this Star Wars movie blows away the world of animatronics as we know it. The senery is georgous and the battles thrilling. I loved this movie and I'm sure that everyone else will, too.

Summary: Perfect for the kids, what more needs to be said?
Review: After reading dozens of disgruntled fans rip the film, I have to remind everbody that: 1)The orginal star wars trilogy features some of the cheesiest dialogue and acting in film (even hard core fans agree with this one) 2)Star Wars has always been know for its "eye candy" i.e. revolutionary special effects, not its writing or character interplay.But of course, all of these fans have forgotten these points, and dissect and over analyse the new star wars film as if it was the second coming of Shakespear. Bottom line: George's target audience was 10 year old boys (just like the original trilogy) not grown adults. My kids loved it. It had flashy visuals just like the original trilogy (and lousy acting like the original trilogy). Anyone who thinks that Star Wars is "American mythology", or is primarily intended for 30 year olds, needs to get a life. Its a kids movie, pure and simple. Remember: If you want a sophisticated plot with gripping drama, watch star trek. If you want lavish special effects and intense action, watch star wars.

Summary: Talk about a big TOY COMERCIAL
Review: Yep...to me, all this movie was was a big toy commercial. It was totally directed to the way younger audience that could still laugh at characters like Jar Jar. The fx were amazing but the movie itself stunk. Infact, the only reason I'm giving this movie 2 stars is because of the special effects. I'm sure many star wars fans have clouded their minds to think that this was a great movie so that all that waiting and money spending didn't go to waste. I planned on seeing it like 20 times before I actually saw it...after I saw it...I'm glad I didn't do that.

Summary: STARWARS CONTINUES ~ IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T COMPLAIN
Review: StarWars by far is the best trilogy ever made and if you want to understand the trilogy better you have to understand the past. Therefore The Phantom Menace is a must. If you don't like it don't whine about it becasue it is a good movie, I agree not the best but the effects are top-notch.

Summary: Masterpiece!
Review: Thank you Mr. Lucas. Regardless of what some are saying this movie is a masterpiece. We have been waiting many years for this and now it is here. My only complaint is having to wait 2 more years for Episode 2. So many people are critical about the controversies etc in this movie but all I have to say to that is, wait. There are 2 more coming and all will be explained. Once again, this is an excellent movie which lives up to the quality of ep. 4-6.

Summary: Lightsaber battles save the movie....oh...and podracers
Review: Although I will admit I was rather dissapointed with the movie, being a STARWARS fan, one's duty is to find good in flaws, so....according to divine rebel order comanded, I did. LIGHTSABER BATTLES and PODRACES saved the movie for me....at least the second time I saw it in the movie theatre. Anyway, I strongly believe that the trilogy is a million times better than this lame introduction to the series. Nevertheless, I do recommend to any "anti starwars fan" to keep a good 100m from any cinema playing the movie so as to avoid any mishap.

Summary: For all you who DID enjoy the movie
Review: My hat is off to George Lucas for this "earliest"installment of the Star Wars saga. For those of us who saw "theoriginals" in the theater, and have enjoyed them ever since, this movie was in no way a let-down . . . with the one exception of Jar Jar. We could have done without him. As someone mentioned earlier, George Lucas has every right to leave loose ends in this movie. Why on earth would he want to give everything away in the first new movie? There would be nothing left for eps II or III. Regardless of what format is available to us currently, this movie brought back many childhood memories, and allowed the little child in me to live once again outside of the real world and invited me in to a realm of alternate worlds that could only be experienced by the die-hard Star Wars fan. Thank you, George, for your wonderful movies. We look forward with anticipation to the next two.
