Summary: total dissapointment
Review: This anticipated prequel left everyone begging for less. Less low brow Jar-Jar (better left on the cutting room floor in its entirety). The plot was threadbare, the characters two-dimentional, and the whole feel was lacking. Not worthy of the starwars name.

Summary: Finally a Star Wars movie on DVD!
Review: Yeah, yeah. This is the least deserving Star Wars movie to come out on DVD, I'm not buying this, it doesn't deserves to be an addition in any collection, it doesn't deserves to be an Star Wars movie, it should come for free when you buy a Pokemon video. I'm only waiting for the original trilogy, the only trilogy.

Summary: Now if only the Indiana Jones trilogy would come out on DVD.
Review: The movie itself is decent, albeit doesn't have quite the "wow" factor of the previous Star Wars movies. And maybe it's just me, but shouldn't ships from EARLIER in time look more primitive than movies from the original trilogy? I mean, the Naboo starfighters look very futuristic when compared to clunkers like the Y-Wing, which were developed LATER! I'll probably at least rent the DVD to see the special features.

Summary: George Lucas
Review: This is a review of George Lucas...not his Star Wars series of movies. Amazon. com predicted that I would rate this movie at 4 stars. Actually I rate it at 5. But George Lucas himself dosn't even rate the first star. 24 YEARS TO MAKE 4 MOVIES????!!!!!! Someone wake this guy up and give hime a cup of hot coffee. We could have seen many more of these movies by now even allowing 3 years per movie we would have twice a much Star Wars on our shelves. His marketing sucks. He waited far to long to release Episode 1 on dvd not to mention episode 4,5,&6. Re-releasing movies to suck money out of our pockets. Waiting untill after the original trilogy is released in regular format to release THX wide-screen format. I have the Star Wars trilogy in Beta, Laser Disc and 3 different vhs versions and now he wants my money for DVD, and I'll likely be dead by the time I see the final dvd release of the original 3. Someone please help...George Lucas is subjecting me to a slow death!

Summary: only true star wars fans appreciate this one
Review: I don't understand the negative responses to this movie, I have always been a fan of many movies... I saw it opening night and it made me feel like the first movie made me feel as a kid, finally for the first time in many years i felt like my money was not wasted. This is a great film, what summer movies are supposed to be, what people have forgotten is that it is just part of a much larger story, Ep 2&3 will highlight what this film did not, and i think that is what many so-called fans have in my estimate forgotten, it is not supposed to be like the original trilogy, if it were people would complain about that, i think that once the other two are finished Ep 1 won't look so dull to so many.I loved it as much as the original trilogy and i'm sure that Lucas won't dissappoint me with the next two, this film delivered what many so-called hollywood blockbusters don't, it will shine on DVD, I can't wait!!

Summary: DTS
Review: hopefully most movies including this one will have DTS edition. It will be a shame if they didn't. DTS sounds better than regular dolby digital and the experts will agree with me. Regular dolby digital does not take full advantage of a 5.1 speaker set up as much as a DTS processor can. Try it!!! you will see the difference. Another thing, most receivers are equipped with DTS encoding and rarely THX. So if you have a regular receiver with no THX processor, You cannot take advantage of the audio from a THX DVD.

Summary: Everyone complains
Review: This movie, though comical at some times, is another Star Wars triumph. The fact that it is part of the Star Wars saga gives it that right. Everyone complains..Jar Jar had a huge role in this movie. The Ewoks were the same. I thought the movie was powerful. It's Star Wars and I bow in front of it. The movies have changed my life..

Summary: A paradox for fans created by George!
Review: Isn't it odd that George Lucas claimed that he would not release Star Wars on DVD because he felt fans and viewers were being exploited? This is comming from the mastermins who released the original Star Wars how many times? My lord every year we had another reason to buy the same old trilogy just because it had a new cover. Well here we are again and it appears George has given in to the DVD craze. I guess I am a hypocrite for signing the petition to get it on DVD. Anyway I am always wondering what George will do next. To be quite honest he has been surprising me the past few years. First off he re-releases (And ruins) the original three films and then creates this mediocre film. Yes the action and graphics were exciting and yes the acting was lacking. (What was the point of Samuel L Jackson and Liam Neeson anyway? Both of them acted as though they were dying and uninterested.) What I find most compelling about this film and the subsequent release of it on DVD is that George really got lucky back in 77. He wrote some stories that are not too different from many of the classical Sci Fi stories and got in touch with some great film writers and directors. That is where we get the first three films. But please George spare us on the next 2 because now that you are solo it is obvious you have no idea what you are doing. The films are too childish and simple which is odd because in your books you can't come to a simple conclusion or come to a point without boring the reader with pages or drabble. Anyone ever read his stuff??? If you are still alive I am amazed. The Star Wars films will always be my favorite films of all time but I must admit I was let down by this prequel and it could very well be the last film George ever makes if only to spare us true fans the agony. Thanks for hearing out my complaining.

Summary: The Only movie that ever OVEREXCEEDED my Expectations
Review: This movie is tied with Star Trek II as my favorite movie of all time. The original Star Wars Trilogy was good, but Episode one was unbelievable. The special effects, the best fight scene in cinema history, the Vader mythos origin begins, and Obi Wan Kanobi (Ewan McGregor) made a huge breakthrough performance, he really overshadows Neeson (Qui Gon Jin) as the heroine of the story. Yoda is cool as ever, and the Princess is super hot. The SFX are breathtaking, much better than the original trilogy. Although many fans didn't like this move consider the following comparisons:Original Star Wars vs. Episode 1 Luke Skywalker: Dreamer who wants to be a Jedi, but he's really mundane and wimpy, looks and acts like the kid who got beat up in high school. Jedi Savior? Bwahahwwahhhbwahhhaa. Episode 1 Counterpart: Obi Wan Kanobi McGregor acts like a Jedi: cool, intelligent, fearless. His fight scene with Darth Maul is the best fight scene ever. Darth Maul vs. Darth Vader Maul is just plain bad, he's evil, and kicks butt, and he doesen't have to breathe heavy, and wear all that crap like Vader. Don't get me wrong, Vader is a sci fi classic and legend, but did he really seem evil? Did he really seem intimidating? Maul takes on two awsome Jedis, Vader couldn't even take wimpy weeney Luke, the wannabe Jedi, Maul vs. Luke... Get ready to join the force Luke.... Hans Solo vs. Oui Gon Ok, I know Han is not a Jedi, but I needed somebody to compare to. Han is so bad, he's like the ultimate gunsliner, but he can't act, and the guy seemed like a wimp like he does in all other movies...and people complain about Jar Jar's bad comedy... How about Chewbacca(Arrgghhharrrrg) Solo: "Laugh it up pukeball, Or furball, whatever, it was cheesey, and not funny. Original Trilogy highlight: Alec Guiness, as Obi Wan, great actor, and performance, one of the main highlights of the original film. Buy episode 1, it is a masterpiece, and the only movie I have ever seen that overexceeded my expectations, a keeper.
