Summary: Excellent DVD production.......
Review: I wait for this DVD 2 years. The Spanish audio is excellent too.
The quality of the picture and sounds is very good. The second DVD from this package its a excellent complement for any collector that Love the Star Wars saga. Congratulations George Lucas. Better late than never, but this work is the best at this time. We wait for the other movies (episode 4 to 6)on DVD.

Summary: Why bother?
Review: I would love to know why anybody would even bother putting this disgrace to Star Wars on DVD format, especially when the real three are no where near to being on DVD. Oh yeah, because George Lucas is all about marketing and Phantom Menace was the largest commerical ever made. It is amazing that people think Jar Jar was an appropriate character. Avoid this movie at all costs if you haven't been brainwashed by George Lucas yet.

Summary: Good, but not Great
Review: Let's get this out of the way: the deleted scenes are NOT worth buying this DVD. Each of the deleted scenes deserved to be deleted from the movie, whereas other scenes everyone wanted to see (such as Qui Gon and Maul fighting on the ramp of Queen Amidala's ship) are never even hinted at. (In case you didn't know, the scene I just mentioned takes place when Qui Gon jumps up to the ship after scuffling with Maul on Tatooine; in the original, he's followed by Maul, where another melee takes place on the ramp with Qui Gon giving Maul a force push after Maul tries to Tomahawk Qui Gon, a move Maul later gives to Obi Wan that leaves Obi Wan hanging over the energy reactor shoot in the final battle). Of all the scenes to include, Lucas gives us more Jar Jar! WHEN DOES THE HURTING STOP????? Okay, now that I have that out of my system . . . it's a good DVD. Even after watching it, I'd still buy it. If tradition holds, the second movie of the trilogy will be the gem of the series (we all know Empire was what made the first Star Wars trilogy what it is today), which means there's still hope of redemption from Jar Jar. I say: keep the faith. Like A New Hope (the very first one), The Phantom Menace will hopefully prove to be a "warm up" for Lucas for better things to come.

Summary: A great DVD!
Review: I'm so tired of hearing how bad this movie was. If people thought the movie was so bad, why did they buy the DVD? Anyways... I bought this DVD because I'm a Star Wars fan and I liked the film. Was it as good as it could have been? No. Was it bad? No. I saw it eight times in the theatre and a few times since. I can't say that about many films. As far as the quality of this DVD goes, it's fantastic! Where the film may not have lived up to expectations, this DVD certainly does. The picture and sound quality are top notch. The lack of DTS is not missed. Fans should know that Lucas is about THX not AC3. The disc even has a great feature that helps you optimize your sound for THX on 7 channels. I doubt anyone that has complained about this has even listened to the disc. Certainly the extra features are welcomed and well done. There is an hour long making-of documentary. Every trailer and TV spot is included as is the music video for Duel of the Fates. One of the best features are the seven deleted scenes that Lucasfilm went back and finished for this DVD including a whole additional lap for the podrace. There are also some overlooked features. Most people think of the menues as an after thought, but this DVD has the best menues I've ever seen, and there are 3 different main menues that randomly load each time you play the DVD so it's not always the same. There is a DVD software viewer for watching DVDs on your PC. I found this software to actually be better than the one that came with my player. Also for those with a DVD ROM is access to exclusive web content like the trailer to Episode II on Nov. 9th. You really have to see how fantastic this DVD really is. I got mine for $17.99 which was more than a bargain. You most likely have already seen the movie, so that shouldn't be the question. As to how well the film was adapted to DVD format, there should be no question.

Summary: This DVD gives new meaning to "jam packed"!
Review: For so long, many Star Wars fans have wondered when a DVD version of any of the Star Wars episodes would be available for sale to the public. There have been rumors that no DVD release would be made for "Star Wars" until the next two episodes are completed. Of course, this angered many Star Wars fans. But when the word came out months ago that a release was in the works, one could not imagine that the "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" DVD would be setting a standard for DVD's in jamming what they could on two DVD's and giving fans more than what they have expected. First, let's talk about the movie. The movie is provided via anamorphic Widescreen with an aspect ration of 2:35:1. The movie looks beautiful and the audio utilizes English Dolby 5.1 Surround EX. Did I say the movie looks beautiful? Now, the second DVD. I don't know how long it will take me to finally view the complete DVD because it's jam packed with featurette's, deleted scenes, documentaries and much more. One thing is that there are some deleted scenes I wish they added in the movie such as one deleted scene featuring the green bad guy known as Greedo (who was in the fourth Star Wars episode/first movie) and the Web documentaries galore which include the "Bad Droid Karma" which features the difficulties of making R2D2 work. If there was one nitpicky feeling that I had for this DVD was that it didn't feature the movie in DTS. I'm wondering if we are going to see a "multiple version" like the videos of the Star Wars series was released to the market. But I'm still pleased with the Dolby 5.1 Surround EX. Although not my favorite "Star Wars" in the series, the DVD is just plain awesome and I'm just hoping if they release the other episodes on DVD, that the others can measure up to this one.
An amazing DVD giving new meaning to "jam packed" when it comes to special features.

Summary: one of the best dvd's i've gotten in awhile!
Review: Me being the true skeptic i was scared when purchasing this dvd. But for the truely skeptic my words won't matter as your minds have all ready been made up.(hee hee) The deleted scenes part i thought could've been longer. I mean 7 scenes you would think would last like a half an hour or somewhere about that. There are some pretty cool features on this disc. The sound and picture quality BLOWS AWAY the video cassette!!!! The begining feature was pretty cool and interesting. My only other complaint is just Jar Jar is truely ******* annoying. Also enjoyed the mini interviews with cast. Not to give away anything but Ewan M.(Obi-wan) has one of best lines in the "making of" feature...Overall it has my seal of approval and should at least quench the thirst for other star wars dorks...

Summary: Bonus material is great!
Review: This 2-dvd set is worth it just for all the extra stuff on there! The documentary, the deleted scenes, the audio commentary, not to mention a great movie!

Summary: A must have for any DVD Collection
Review: This DVD is a necessity for any true DVD collection. If you thought the special effects and picture was amazing in the theatre, you should see the job Lucas Arts has done on this DVD. The special bonus cd is another huge amazing compulation of deleted material and bonus schematics. If this is just the beginning abilities of DVD creations by Lucas Arts, then waiting for Episodes IV, V, and VI has just officially become unbarable. Trust me when I say that this DVD is probably the best DVD ever to be released.

Summary: very,very,very worth the wait
Review: If I knew the DVD would've been this good I would've waited for it and not gone and rushed to get it when it came out on VHS. The extra features are so numerous it takes your breath away. I spent such a long time exploring it all and playing with it. There are so many extra features you could write a book. My favorite feature was the deleted scenes. It was SO much fun. Actually most of the deleted scenes were added on the dvd version of the movie except for a few. The only thing I didn't like about the movie itself was Jake Lloyd the actor who played Anakin. I know he needed to have similar features to Luke Skywalker but I think they could've found a better actor. His facial expressions never cahnged. He had the same expression on his face when he was happy, sad, scared, or bored. But after all he was 9 or younger when they started filming so I guess I shouldn't be to hard on him. Despite that I still give it 5 stars. I'm going to wait for Episode II to come out on DVD and skip the VHS version. If I absolutly can't wait I'll just rent it. George Lucas, if you read this, please don't wait to bring 4-6 out on DVD until after number 3 is out. That would be horrible. Actually I doubt us fans will allow that to happen. Anyways PLEASE bring them out on DVD soon!!!
