Summary: Waste of money
Review: OK --- let's see how many 'Star Wars' fans I can upset here. I thought the whole thing was a waste of effort, time and money. I enjoyed the original 'Star Wars' - it was fun to watch, good entertainment. But this was just dire. The lead actors (McGregor, Neeson et al) were completely wasted in a script as flat as cardboard. The SFX were impressive at times, but even that failed to save a film that I would consider a chore to rewatch. There is nothing of the liveliness and gung-ho sense of adventure of the original. The whole thing is lacking in excitement and good humour. Spend your hard-earned dollars on something else.

Summary: Basic Foundation.
Review: Ok folks I have read dozens of reviews both good and bad and I fully understand both points of view. I personally feel it was a very difficult task indeed for Lucas to go back t the very beginning after such a layoff. After making A New Hope I am sure he had no idea how he was going to finish with Return Of The Jedi and then back in time to Episode1. The Phantom Menace could only go so far with it's direction and can only be used as a point of reference. This move did exactly what it was intended to do. It was to be the basic foundation to which the entire series is made. After watching the next two movies I am sure many will find more appreciation for the entire series. My biggest complaint is the exceptionally poor video quality. THX indeed? I have exercise tapes that are of better quality.

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: To Jar Jar or not to Jar.....
Review: OK OK I was expecting so much more. But let me tell you this,Alot of the Pre-Reviews I bought into.OK it cost alot of money to makeand Hype this Movie.I went by myself to see it and the one thing that stuck in my head from the reviews was hate Jar Jar.And I admit by myself he got on my nerves.(could be I was paying to close attention)and the thought of him being computer generated Oh well that did it. What an idiot I was two weeks later when I took my5 year old and 3 year old to see it. News Flash Jar Jar is COOL! I hardly watched the movie because I could not take my eyes off my boys. They loved it and so did I.Lucas is a genius. I have already ordered my copy. The story line is perfectthe eye popping effects are the best. it moves just fast enough to get you hooked and ends just in time to leave you wanting more. For my kids sake I hope they bring Jar Jar Back. Hey if you really hated it try it again with some kids around. See what happens, I loved the effect.

Summary: Well, what can one say?
Review: OK OK I'll admit it. This wasn't as good as the original, but HOW COULD IT BE????? Not even Lucas could live up to expectations with the hype we've created since the his announcement that he planned on making these movies (about the time of Empire Strikes Back). But let's face it. Look at Lucas's style. Was Episode IV REALLY all that different?Lucas always starts with a movie more to introduce the characters than to give them depth, and then he spends the second film doing that, so we can expect to see this happen with Episode II. Then, he rushes to a sterling climax with the third of a trilogy. And just think, Lucas has to keep excitement in these first three, and still BUILD to the originial trilogy. The only thing that ruined this particular movie for me was the annoying J.J.B. - and don't tell me he didn't annoy you too. All in all though, I found this an excellent beginning. I look forward to II and III personally.

Summary: SOME PEOPLE ARE NEVER PLEASED!
Review: OK people, 1. Anakin must be there (do you not want DarthVader? ) 2. of course it isn't as exciting because it's the FIRSTEPISODE! We haven't gotton to the CLIMAX, that's Return of the Jedi, so on! 3. What is so bad about Jar-Jar, he kinda grows on you! Lucas had to put SOME child-entertaining stuff in the movie! 4. About the special effects, first, we complain that there are not enough, now, we complain that they look fake! 5. YODA-ANNOYING- YEAH RIGHT! So, my point is, this movie was great and REALLY doesn't deserve a gold rasberry!

Summary: You need to take things in stride.
Review: Ok people, come on. Get real here. If yo uare all going to look at this movie from the standpoint of an adult, than be an adult while doing so. This movie is intitled "Episode 1: the Phantom Menace". The title of this movie alone should be enough to tel lyou that it is an INTRODUCTION above all else. All this movie was intended to do, was give you the very beginnings of answering all those questions we all had while watching the original series. "Who really was Anakin Skywalker?" "What's the deal with Obi-Wan and Vader's conenction?" "just who IS this Emperor Palpatine guy?" These are things that were just dropped on us, but now we are being giving the answers to those questions here. So be PATIENT. The only reason this movie didn't rate a perfect 5, is simply because while there was indeed character development regarding Obi-wan, Amidala, Palpatine, and Anakin, I'm still left asking myself "Who WAS Maul? And WHAT was his purpose?" More or less, a desperate attempt to clone Vader....it's not happening. Be patient all you grown-up children of the late seventies and early eighties, this was just the introduction of the characters, weit until the finally get to the Clone Wars, and the inevitable turn that young Anakin takes to the Dark Side. Until then, this is a worthy addition to the ranks of Star Wars. And hey, for all you cynics out there who STILL wish it would have held true to form...be prepared...Mr. Lucas is planning on ANOTHER installment of the Indiana Jones series. Yes, Harrison Ford with reprise the role, but chances are that all you loonies that hated this film, will find some reason to bash that one as well when the time comes.

Summary: MOVIE [destruction]
Review: Ok so i thought his was going to be a good movie but i was soooooooooooooo disapointed like many fans. Kill Jar jar there is a lot of holes between this one and episode 4 queen amidala will almost get killed before episode4 so why not kill jar jar. Portmans dialog was so monatone that it dove me carzy it that there accent to have no emotion in there voice. jake loyd should of gone to acting school of had more trainers. I would much rather see a giant puppet (chewbacca) than jar jar at least chewie felt like a real person and he added somthing to the story and lukas didn't try to overuse him.
this movie was a sad chapter in this saga i hope that the next one will have a story and emotion.
THEY SHOULD OF JUST THROWN 150 MILLON ON A TABLE AND LET US WATCH IT FOR 2 HOURS BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THAT THE FILMAKERS BASICALY DID. OHH CAN WE PLEASE SEE ANOTHER C.G. SHOT UHHHH IT GOT OLD.

Summary: The Greatest DVD out there...
Review: Ok so this isnt the best star wars movie, but still its very underrated by critical [...]. The Movie is great but the DVD is spectacular the sound is unbeleavible ( especially with surround sound !). The shots are stunning and the special feature are actually watchable. Plus its loaded with DVD easter eggs [...]. The eggs feature funny outakes and a secret documentary. Some of the deleted scenes are inserted into the movie which is great! Some though you have to access via the special features. Another Great feature is the 2 hour "The Beginning" a great Star Wars 1 documentary. Plus its got exclusic DVD-ROM Episode 2 Trailer only available to owners of the DVD (must have DVD-ROM). So all in all this is a winner and this is why we have DVD.
