Summary: Bravo George Lucas!
Review: Gracias, George por transportarme al 1977 cuando tenia tan solo 10 años. Jamás olvidaré aquel día y las otras 12 veces que vi la película en el cine. Phantom Menace es diferente, lo sé. Sin embargo, tiene la misma habilidad de dejar al cineasta pidiendo más y deseoso de ver la segunda película. La inocencia del joven Anakin. El misticismo de Quai-Gon y Obi-wan. La belleza de la princesa Amidala. La maldad de la federación. Los efectos especiales son impresionantes. El combate final de los Jedis y Darth Maul fue excelente. La batalla espacial fue fenomenal y la carrera en Tattoine fabulosa. ¿Que pasará en el segundo episodio? ¿Cómo y por qué Anakin se entrega al lado oscuro de la Fuerza? Estas son preguntas fascinantes. Apúrate George y termínala ya de una vez (jajaja).

Summary: Oh how easy to be unfair
Review: Granted, this installment of the illustrious Star Wars series may not boast the completely unexpected, jaw-dropping impact which the original trilogy had on its now diehard fans, but the fact remains: Star Wars: Episode I has been badly mistreated in the ranks of its one-time supporters.
The plot is not undeveloped, the casting is not mischosen, and its place among the Star Wars saga is not unsure. On the contrary, this film is a very fitting continuance of the story fans fell in love with so long ago; it has the plot dripping with mystery, suspense, and intrigue, the characters complementing the story with their unique additional personalities, and the very Star Wars-like conclusion, which begs for the story to be completed in the final two films.
This movie is not at all badly written. The plot flows smoothly from one scene to the next, and even dons unique characteristics. The Jedi phenomenon is explained in much more detail (what some critics claim is "mumbo-jumbo"), and the audience is given more glimpses into their amazing abilities (i.e. Qui Gon and Obi-Wan speeding through the hallway, making daring leaps from ledge to ledge, etc.). The lightsaber battle(s) with Darth Maul brag incredible imagination on the part of the choreographers, and are absolutely dazzling to watch.
Overall, this film is brilliantly written and made, bewildering movie-goers with gut-wrenching suspense, a deeply woven plot, many unexpected twists and turns, and incredible special effects; with very special mention to the newly written music scores by none other than the genius John Williams. And while it boasts all of the characteristics that make for an awesome spectacle of a movie and addition to the Star Wars saga, loyal Star Wars fans are turning their backs on it and not appreciating it for the aesthetic genius it is.
Don't think it lives up to the first three Star Wars films? Don't compare it to them. It is profoundly different, because it is meant to be. It tells the story within the story, and was meant to be much different than any Star Wars "fans" would expect. It's a different time, different place, you must remember. That means different people, different places, different tales. Be fair people.
This is an excellent film and lives up to every expectation as a Star Wars movie as a whole. I rest my case.

Summary: Best DVD ever
Review: Great DVD and Great Movie. I personally don't see why people don't like this movie. Jar Jar to me represents the kid who's wierd or different like me. (...)So what about caribean and chinese accents. These aliens need some accent. Usually they're given british accents. This DVD has great features and the deleted scenes are to die for. If you love Star Wars you'll love this DVD

Summary: Explain this to me
Review: Great movie and I applaud Mr. Lucas' efforts to upgrade the quality of movie theatres, BUT THEN WHY NO DVD? This movie is all about visual effects and new worlds and all, and yet he is only releasing it on VHS. I realize Episode II is taking all of his time, but cant he hire someone to do the special features?

Summary: Star Wars begins it's entry into children's fodder.
Review: Great movie for kids. As an adult, I am disgusted with the whole Star Wars franchise at this point. Between Episode I and this over digital produced kiddie flick, I won't even bother with Episode 3. I think what I miss most from the original series is Harrison Ford. A real actor. Not a computer generated Jar Jar Binks. Bring the kids! Any adult who finds this fodder "great movie making" probally loves "The Muppet Movie(s)" and "The Goonies" The ruining of a perfect trilogy.

Summary: Great movie...
Review: Great movie, but the special features are much too long and tedious to look at. I tried to sit down and just watch the special features, but I found it near impossible. I had to turn it off and go to something else quickly. It just seemed like a waste of time to put all that stuff on there. I can't imagine watching all that footage, even now, it's making me sick to my stomach... Excuse me while I head to the bathroom to vomit, LOL!
