Summary: Two Words - Star Wars
Review: For anyone who grew up watching the trilogy over and over and over....the movie starts, the theme comes on, and the text with the story scrolls in, then you hear ta na na, na, na na na, na, da na na. You get an almost euphoric feeling, OHHHH YESS, STAR WARS.

Summary: Pure innocent entertainment!
Review: This is a really entertaining film with great techinical effects and the visual feeling of the film is perfect. The dialouge could have been cooler but the actors look good in their roles and it's just an escape to another world for circa two hours. I recommend it as an entertainment but nothing more.

Summary: a huge disappointment
Review: A long time ago, in a decade far, far away...a better movie was made. I could not believe that Lucas could put together such a mess as this film. It is long on sound and fury, but signifies nothing. I saw the original Star Wars film 17 times when it played in theaters. Yet after all this time, I only stood in line to see this film once...why? To begin with, there are really no great characters. The droids are reduced to a cameo scene, and linked to young Aniken in an unlikely way. Obi-Wan is underused. The princess is...well, which one is she supposed to be anyway. Jar Jar Binks is just plain irritating. And Darth Maul, a villian who looked so threatening and ominous in the trailer, is reduced to a bounty hunter with five...count them FIVE...lines. By the way...what was they plot anyway? Lucas said he waited 17 years to make this film because the technology did not exist to make the special effects he desired for the film. Yet it wasn't the effects I remember from the original. It was the mythology and the characters. Let's hope George gets tired of playing with his new techno-toys and settles down to write a good script for the next film. Otherwise, I might not care about Star Wars III.

Summary: AN EXCELLENT INSTALLMENT IN THE STAR WARS MOVIES!
Review: This is a great movie no matter what the other reviews say. I do not understand why Star Wars didn't win any OSCARS, and I don't know why it was nominated for worst picture of the year. It was certainly not going to get best picture, but it did deserve at least a nomination. Jar Jar Binks is an excellent character in this film, even though he got the slightest bit annoying with all of his slap-stick humor. Natalie Portman is a beautiful girl, with excellent talent. Jake Lloyd, I do hate to say it, was miscast. He was a mediocre character in a first class movie. Liam Neeson deserved a nomination in the academy awards for his portrayle as Qui Gon Jinn. This is a wonderful movie, and should be at the top of everybody's must see list.

Summary: The saga begins...
Review: After three terrific Star Wars movies comes the new Episode I. It is certainly not as good as the originals but worth some viewings. Liam Neeson is excellent as Qui Gon Jinn but his sidekick Ewan Gregor is not all that great. The lightsaber fight was spectacular between Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Qui Gon Jinn. Darth Maul himself was really cool. The double bladed lightsaber was a very nice touch. The battle droids were cool but can't compare to stormtroopers, just as the Trade Federation can't compare to the Galactic Empire and Nute Gunray can't compare to Darth Vader. I also liked Vader better than Maul. The space fight was a bit of a joke. All you saw was little Anakin talking to Artoo. The rest was good. But if you want to see a REAL space battle, check out Return of the Jedi. There also weren't to many fight scenes except the one between the Gungans and the battle droids. For example, there is a great battle on Endor during Return of the Jedi and an awesome battle on the ice planet Hoth between Rebels and Imperial AT-AT walkers in The Empire Strikes Back. The cast in the originals were way better. Some of the actors and actesses who were great were Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, and Billy Dee Williams. Though Episode I is good, the others are better. My favorite is The Empire Strikes Back.

Summary: The best movie ever!
Review: If anyone gave this movie less than five stars they should be drug out into the street and shot with a blaster rifle. It is undoubtedly the best of the Star Wars movies, and in my opinion is one of the best of all time. It has awesome special effects, a devious plot, and great characters. Darth Maul is the coolest, and Ray Park is also very talented. The lightsaber duel is the best one of any of the Star Wars movies, mostly due to the advanced FX of today that the older movies did not have access to. I saw this movie five times at the theatre and I can't wait for it to come out on video and DVD.

Review: THIS SHOW HAS ALL THE EXCITEMENT, DRAMA, ADVENTURE, MAGICAL SETS, AND INTRIGUE THAT GEORGE LUCAS MEANT FOR IT TO BE. WILL BE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONES STAR WARS COLLECTION. IF THEY HAVE THE GOOD SENSE ANY WAYS TO BUY THIS MOVIE. IT IS ONE THAT YOU CAN WATCH AGAIN AND AGAIN. IT IS AMAZING TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE STILL GREAT CLASSIC MOVIES OUT THERE BESIDES THE DISNEY GENRE. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT VISUAL QUALITY GEORGE LUCAS YOU LITTLE CREATIVE DEVIL YOU!

Summary: Wake up and smell the future!
Review: I am not saying that the movie was all that bad, but it was a little dry and could have been a little better that what it was. I would say that the movie might have had a lot of special effects but hey! what were they going to do? Go film on location? I think that it was a good movie, but can use change. Also Mr. Lucus. put this stuff on DVD, for the galaxy's sake!

Summary: One phrase...
Review: You can't tell a story with CGI alone. Basically, what I'm saying is that SW:EpI had too much CGI effects and characters. To tell an effective story, or film for that matter, needs good character development. Even the CGI characters got poor character development in this flick.One could not tell whether Darth Siduous was Sen. Palpatine in disguise or not. You couldn't get close to Qui-Gon for there was no history to him, just like there was with Obi-wan in SW:EpIV, until he came back as "force apparitions" in subsequent films that is. Maybe that has yet to be seen in Ep. II or III. Even Darth Maul, the "new" villian had minimal screentime. The only character that we could get close to was Obi-wan, Yoda and Anikin, however there still wasn't strong enough character development in this film along to give it that "stand-alone" quality that the original trilogy gave. Even you knew what Lando Calrissian was all about at the end of "Empire". I've only seen Ep.I once, so maybe my perception of the film isn't as good for someone that's seen it multiple times. Maybe my perception will change once my Widescreen Box-set arrives on my front door sometime next week.
