Star Wars - Episode I, The Phantom Menace (Widescreen Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Awful
Review: I loved it in the theater, saw it more than once. I got the tape in UPS Friday, waited all day so I could have Saturday evening alone to watch it. The picture quality was worse than awful. The MOV file on the preview that they posted on the internet had a superior picture than this turkey. It ruined the movie for me and I did not even finish it. I gave the tape away to a neighbors kid.

Summary: Dissapointing to say the least
Review: I loved the Star Wars films, past tense. Really good cast except for Jake Lloyd and Jar Jar. The pod race is too long and many of the special effects look like a video game. Empire had far better effects and that was 20 years ago. ...

Summary: mmmmmmm.......Jar Jar is anoying
Review: i loved this movie and i cant wait to see the next 2. The only thing about this movie that bothered me was Jar Jar. While i thought he was amusing at times for the most part we was quite a bad adition to the film. The plot was great and continued in George Lucas' story line quite well, though personally i liked episode 4, special edition the best of all the available starwars movies. But then what good would a full set of wide screen and cut starwars movies be without at least 1 copy of episode 1. So sufice it to say i will be getting 2 copies when it comes out. One for me and one for my sister. I know you'll enjoy this flick and as i am a true star wars fan i would have givin it 5 stars were it not for Jar Jar. Well anyway George Lucas' company Industrial Light and Magic (known best for Jurasic Park, among others) did a supurb job with the special effects in this movie. Again......ENJOY IT

Summary: Boy, did I like this movie!
Review: I loved this movie! The effects, the story, and the characters. I stood in line for the Star Wars nine nights in a row, and remember that the reviewers (who tend to feel that movies about good and evil are not serious film) panned the show for much the same reasons. If Jive Dudes make you nervous, that's your problem. You are a creature of your times. That's OK, but certainly not a flaw in the movie...

Summary: Great Movie, Great DVD
Review: I loved this movie, and I am a HUGE star wars fan. Some of the acting was not really strong (but that is not what the sw films are known for), but that did not detract from the beautiful panoramic shots, the development of the Queen's story line, and the setting for the next films. I sometimes even think this is my favorite one of the series.

Summary: A great addition to the Star Wars collection
Review: I loved this movie. It had a great plot and screenplay and I liked it a lot. If you have seen the original Star Wars movies then this is a great movie to add to your collection. Darth Maul, Anakin, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Amidala were all great characters and the actors did a wonderful job. Another George Lucas Classic.

Summary: A tale for all ages
Review: I loved this movie. It is a movie that the whole family can enjoy together, a myth for our times you might say. Unlike most movies out today where they're either specifically directed at small children, teens(who seem to have nothing but partying on thier minds), or adults, the Phantom Menace has appeal for all moviegoers. Although there is violence in the movie, there is no "gore"(blood or body parts shooting all over the screen) so even small children can enjoy the story. It enabled me to enjoy an epic tale of good versus evil with my children(they loved it)one that was a huge part of my life when I was young. The whole order of the Jedi and the way they view the universe is definately a positive influence for a child, unlike the meaningless fighting in "pokemon" or similar popular icons. What it boils down to is the fact that it is an excellent all around movie building on characters that we all know and want to know more about, and giving us a little taste of who and why the "Jedi" are. On a final note jar-jar is not that bad, if you look back through the other 3 films you'll see that r2 & 3po are a sort of comic relief.......the case is the same for jar-jar.

Summary: Star Wars Episode I
Review: I loved this movie. Lucas does a great job getting us involved with these characters just like he did with 4,5 and 6. Can't wait for the next one to come out.
