Summary: Warning: you can't watch new scenes and the movie together
Review: This is the first DVD I've ever bought, and it's such a disappointment. The movie is on one disc, and the deleted scenes are on another disc; you can't watch the movie with the new scenes included. This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen! Why put all the time, effort and money into producing new material, then leave it separate from the movie? It makes no sense to me. Why would I want to sit down and watch these random scenes? They lose nearly all their meaning if I cannot watch them within the movie. What's the point of producing additional material if it's not added to anything?
The DVD documentary footage is interesting, and a friend confirmed that it's common for DVDs to present extra material separate from the film. To me, it's still completely silly. At least provide the option of including new material in the movie or not. So don't expect too much regarding extra scenes.

Summary: Okay movie, but the best DVD out there
Review: I'm a big star wars fan and I have to say I was a little disappointed with the film when it first came out in the movies. I don't think its as bad as a lot people said it was, its an okay movie but it is the worst one out of the star wars series. The story is kinda weak and some scenes just didn't fit or make sense in the movie. But as far as the DVD is concern, if you have a surround sound system in your house, this is a must buy DVD. The sound in this film is simply amazing, this is the best DVD to show-off that system. The special features are also great with a lot of behind the scenes, documentary, and deleted scenes stuff. Also the pod race is the best part of the movie and you get a longer version in this DVD. That by itself might be worth.

Summary: Awe inspiring
Review: This is an unbelieveable DVD. It is LucasArts quality, which isn't anything to shake a light saber at. I am biased in that I have been a lifelong SW fan, but who can't like the epic saga of SW? Cut scenes, featurettes, commentary, this DVD has it all.Admittedly, I was left with many questions after this movie. Like why was Amidala so much older than Anakin, and who the heck was Anakin's "father?" The characters weren't greatly developed, nor was Jake Lloyd's acting inspiring. Some say that Jar Jar was annoying. Also, why was R2D2 and 3PO there? I mean with SW: Episode 4, it was like the droids seemed to have no prior knowledge of Obi-Wan, Anakin, or Yoda. This DVD contains everything a fan could ask for, but SURELY someday a new "ultimate" edition will come out, right? If you don't try to analyze the movie too much, and just take it for what it is, it is highly enjoyable! The special effects themselves are worth the price of the DVD, and will show off the power of your AV Home Theater. Get this one.

Summary: Star Wars Episode 1
Review: Ok I really do not need to tell you what this movie is about. It's Star Wars!!! My only problem with this movie is that I bought it way back before the dvd came out. I would buy the DVD instead of the VHS.

Summary: Awesome DVD (...)
Review: (...)awesomely done and finally the sound quality is decent. (...) There are a few added scenes, one in particular i didn't like during the pod race and felt it should have stayed out, but others were pretty good. I liked the added features and hope George doesn't take forever on releasing Episodes IV-VI on DVD.

Summary: 5 Stars for the DVD, but the Movie Itself...........
Review: The five stars are soley for the high quality of the dvd and the fabulous extras, but seeing the movie for the first time since it's initial theatrical run reminded me how iffy I feel about it. It's got all the special effects and production values money can buy, and there are some outstanding action sequences and very imaginative creatures but there's something missing and I think I know what it is: heart. I just don't think Lucas's heart was really in this. I think it was an obligation, a financial one and one to the fans. I don't sense the utter thrill and joy of pure moviemaking I did from the original trilogy. Nothing happens here that gets the hairs on the back of your neck up, or gives you goosebumps or rouses you out of your seat. I wish wish wish Lucas would entrust the next two segments to outside writers and directors.

Summary: Wouldn't it be cute if?
Review: It seems that George Lucas and crew must have been thinking "Wouldn't it be cute if?" thousands of times in making this movie. Its almost more Barney than Star Wars. Unfortunately it takes alot of the seriousness out of the movie, and pushes aside what could have been more interesting plot issues. Who is the Trade Federation? Why has the Senate approved their taxation of trade routes? Why is the Trade Federation blockading Naboo? None of these questions are answered, other than maybe its all part of Darth Sidious' plan. The story doesn't even establish the level of respect that Palpatine should have in the Senate. Instead we get answers to questions like "What would happen if Jar Jar stuck his tongue in the power coupling on Anakin's pod?" Despite my complaints about the movie, it is now part of Star Wars. The light sabre duel is amazing, and the pod race is fun. The special effects are great. But the story leaves alot to be desired. Star Wars (not episode anything, but the original 1977 movie) is still, and probably always will be my favorite. It is the only movie in the series that can completely stand alone. It also took its story very seriously, which is what really drew the audience into the picture. As far as the DVD itself, it looks great, EXCEPT, the folks at THX used way too much edge enhancement in many scenes. This will make no difference to those who do not fully understand the quality benefits of DVD, but to those of us who know, the halos around characters heads, and other high contrast objects are very annoying. I suspect this is a result of using the same master for the DVD as was used for the VHS tape. For those considering purchase, the DVD is available for less elsewhere, so shop around.

Summary: average
Review: This has to be the most disappointing movie I've ever seen. The plot is nearly non-existent, and the character development is even worse (for instance, Darth Maul is a central character, but there is no explanation of who he is; rather, he just shows up every once in a while for a fight scene or to simply look mean, imposing, and powerful).I prefer streetbrawls.com that has the real action. The effects are great, but in the absence of a storyline they become almost annoying. If it weren't for the fact that this is a Star Wars movie (which gave me hope that it would get better), I would have walked out of the theater after the first 30 minutes

Summary: decent
Review: I thought this was a very good dvd.Jar Jar Binks stinks like nothing I've ever seen in a movie. A complete waste of film space, and completely unnecessary! He nearly RUINED the film. A few scenes could have been incredibly powerful were it not for him swaggering around with his floppy ears filling up half the screen.But I prefer streetbrawls.com There are even people who have taken the time to make Jar Jar hate sites! A total goof ball... agh... I can't go on writing about him.
