Summary: Best Star Wars yet!
Review: This movie is truely amazing. It got bad reviews but this is only the beginning, the first 1/6 of a 12 hour saga! The effects were absolutely breath-taking and the story was awesome, add that to the amazing lightsabre duel at the end and you've got a very special movie. P.S. - To all of you who hated TPM: Lucus will redeem himself.

Summary: Good but lacks something
Review: THIS MOVIE IS UNDOUBTEDLY A VERY GOOD ONE. HOWEVER NOT AS IMPACTIBLE AS THE FIRST ONES. ONE THING THAT REALLY KILLED THE MOVIE WAS JAR JAR BINKS. THAT CHARACTER JUST WAS NOT NEEDED. ONE COMPARISON BETWEEN THIS FILM AND THE FIRST ONES IS THE CHARACTERS. THE OLD MOVIES WERE MORE EFFECTIVE BECAUSE THE ATMOSPHERE THAT THE CHARACTERS CREATED IS VERY INTERESTING. HUMANS WOULD DRESS UP IN VERY GOOD COSTUMES AND DARTH VADAR HAD AN EFFECT THAT WAS VERY GOOD: THE MYSTERY, MASK, AND BREATH. NOW IN THIS MOVIE, GEORGE LUCAS SEEMS TO RELY ON SPECIAL EFFECTS TO DO EVERYTHING. HE DIDN'T SEEM TO CREATE SOME KIND OF INTELLIGENCE ON THE SCREEN. THE RELIABILITY ON SPECIAL EFFECTS SEEMED TO BE VERY DULL. HOWEVER, THE VILLIAN DARTH MAUL WAS VERY GOOD. THE EVIL THAT HIS FACE CREATED WAS AS EFFECTIVE AS DARTH VADAR. THIS MOVIE SEEMED TO LACK THE INTELLIGENCE THAT THE FIRST TRILOGY HAD. I WOULD HOWEVER HIGHLY SUGGEST THIS MOVIE BECAUSE OF THE FIGHT SCENES AND RACING SCENE, AND MANY OTHERS.

Summary: Wonderful Special Effects!
Review: This movie is worth checking out! The special effects are incredible...don't be fooled by what others tell you. It may not be a great Star Wars flick...but you should see it anyways. The first 3 films in the past were great, but Episode 1 is much better because the way the scenes were filmed, but the story line was weird. George Lucus once again shows how the galaxy was meant to be seen with today's high special effect wizards!

Summary: Every Jedi has a destiny, and every story has a beginning.
Review: This movie is...well, to tell it like it is, JUST SPECTACULAR!! In this movie the pieces of the Star Wars puzzle start coming together. We learn the past of many characters and are intruduced to more!!!!!!!! The sound and computer special affects are absolutely great, not to mention the lightsaber duels which if you watch closely they are sure to awe you!!!
I saw Star Wars when I was seven years old, and I never even thought that there could be more to the story, but THERE IS!! and THIS IS IT!!! I grew up with Star Wars, and just to prove that,i'll tell you a past experiance. I thought I was the fastest reader in the world when I managed to read the long yellow intro that seems to drift up into space in the beginning of every movie. Well, enough of the boring stuff, but anyway, the acting is well done, the plot is interesting, and STAR WARS IS BACK!!!!

Review: This movie just blow me away. Everything about it was great and truly pure star wars. Whether it is the podracing scene, the final lightsaber battle between Qui, Ben, and Maul, or even the scrolling summary. If you love star wars or any type of sci fi inparticular (with an exception to Star Trek) You must see this movie. When I went to see it in the thetre five times, it seemed as if the entire audience was entranced by the force. I hope the next two episodes are as good. I can't wait for the collecter's edition to come out. Not only will it have the widescreen version with it, it will also have some film and the book. George, you've done it again.

Summary: The ONLY movie that can be awful and entertaing in one video
Review: This movie made 921 million dollars internationally,WHY? It had awsome action , racing, and special effects. But, no one is acting then are they? People should get it just to have it and watch it for what it is. I'll buy it and watch it just for those really cool action scenes, but fast foward anything on Tattoine, and Coruscant. And DVD, this really dissapoints me and about 7 million other people, where is it! I feel that Lucas really snubbed us so he makes more money in 2006 when he releases it on DVD. (he wants to take his time on them) It was good until they meet Anakin and goes downhill until they meet Darth Maul. Then it goes up until the end of the fight between Maul and Obi-Wan. Then it falls faster than a star. The widescreen is a must for fans, and the normal if you have the others and just want to have them all. I really think it could have been better, but for anybody who saw A New Hope buy it. I just hope that "a new hope" is what episode II will be:)

Summary: What a stinker!
Review: This movie ranks right up there with "Dune" when it comes to really expensive and really bad movies. It has great special effects, but don't expect much more than that. The acting was bad and the dialogue was stupid. Oddly enough, and despite the state-of-the-art special effects, the movie has a strongly "dated" feeling--watching it is a bit like traveling back in time to 1977, as the acting, dialogue, plot development, and editing seem not to have progressed since then. And this is even more of a "guy" movie than the previous Star Wars movies. Will we ever find out why the Jedi are always male, even when they're not human? As far as the much-maligned Jar Jar Binks, maybe I wouldn't have hated the character so much if I'd been able to understand what he was saying! Did ANYbody listen to his so-called dialogue before inflicting this movie on the public? Perhaps the biggest problem is that the director couldn't decide whether to make a movie for kids or for adults; he tried to please both, but instead an adult will find much of the movie really stupid, and a child will find much of it incomprehensible.

Summary: A Couple Good Moments...But It Lacks
Review: This movie really lacks a lot of action and a lot of needed good acting. Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson played their roles well, but the rest did not even live up to their Star Wars predessesors. Natalie Portman plays Queen Amadala and does portray the Queen's love for her people well, but isn't exciting at all. The little boy playing Anakin Skywalker is suffering from the curse of Skywalker. It seems everyone that has been set to play a Skywalker has been a terrible actor. For both of the recent Anakins, the casting directors have taken in lifeless actors that only have one of many qualities needed for the role. Mark Hamill also was not a good actor. He played Luke Skywalker of the original trilogy. I have seen the second Star Wars prequal and it was a lot better. I feel even the acting had improved somewhat. I only hope that the third will be as dark, funny and exciting as the orginals. Bottom Line: All I can say is that it still needed a lot of work overall. (I give it a C)

Summary: LOTS OF FUN
Review: This movie really satisfied my Star Wars craving! There are a lot of references to the first three that nonfanatics may not understand. I thought the plot was wonderful. When the senator says he will watch Anakin very closely...could that really be the emperor? And the special effects were incredible, which doesn't even need to be said.
