Summary: Very good movie. ages like fine wine.
Review: It needs to be like The Matrix. It needs to be like Lord of the Rings. These are the things I hear a lot. Well Star Wars is not Lord of the Rings nor is it The Matrix. In fact I'm glad it's not like those movies. That's not what GL was going for any ways. This is a very good movie. :)

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: It sucks!
Review: It sucks. The phantom Menace was the worst attempt at a star wars comeback possible. With the exception of the billion dollar special effects the movie had horrible screenplay, acting, stage direction, and character development. Whatever you do don't buy this movie!

Summary: If it wasn't a Star Wars movie, it would have been 2 stars
Review: It took me two viewings to fully appreciate the beginning of the most famous trilogy created. The movie had an enormous build-up and no movie could fully live up to the hype, but it just was not a great movie as the other three were. The look of the movie was absolutely spectacular with full digital worlds that looked incredibly real and lifelike. However, the same could not be said for the characters. They are as flat and dull and seem to be inserted to let Lucas expand his digi-lands. THe dialogue is sparse and uninteresting and there isn't the same feel as the other movies. For many fans, the first three movies had a "magical" feel as we followed the story. This movie didn't seem to have any magic or warmth like the others. I think the tech-heavy feel of this movie had something to do with it. Many will disagree, but I thought the kid who played Annakin was perfect and was one of the bright spots of the movie. Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor were fine but were given extremely little to work with. The dialogue in the movie was rather dull and uninteresting unlike the vivid images and breathtaking special effects. As one reviewer said, this movie was just an introduction to all the characters thus, the plodding pace of the movie. However, if this would have been the beginning to the Star Wars saga, it would be a blip on the movie map, instead of a major destination.

Summary: This movie resembled the agility of a Hutt
Review: It took too long to get to good sequences, the good sequences didn't last very long, the storytelling took forever, the humor was too spotty, and the best part of the movie..the much anticipated fight scene took less than even the classic Vader v. Kenobi matchup in Episode IV

Summary: Great movie.
Review: It was a great roller coaster ride. Everyone secret loves this movie, it's just the cool thing to bash it. This DVD will be a number one seller, just like the VHS was and the movie itself was.
