Summary: It's STAR WARS!!
Review: Having grown up with the original Star Wars Trilogy, I found it hard to give this movie anything under 5 stars, but the plot was practically non-existant. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, however. Ewan McGregor is excellent as a young Obi-Wan. He perfectly portrays a young Jedi who is learning his ways. The film is beautifully done, even if it is painfully obvious at times that CGI is happening. Apart from the lack of a plot, the only other problem I had with this film was Jar-Jar Bink's character. He was obviously added for young viewers' delight, but I found him tedious and juvinile. This was an excellent film, however, and I highly recommend it for all Star Wars fans.

Summary: Could Have done better, but good!
Review: Ha Ha Ha, I'm just laughing because I can't believe how much bad reviews this is getting. First of all the movie was OK not horrible or bad. I have seen like 1,200 movies since I was 5 years old and this is not horrible. This movie was to focused on a young audience and forgot about us adults and I didn't really like Jar Jar, he was for kids. The movie was a little boring in some parts but I guess this episode is more of an introduction to the whole story. The best part was the end fight, and I wish there was more Darth Mull and fighting. The DVD itself is very good and this is what all DVD packs should be like.
Nuff said.

Summary: Horribly, horribly bad! Wake up, people!
Review: When seeing the film in a theatre, I guess I was overwhelmed by the hype and brouhaha. Possibly, the thundering sound system and pretty lights on the big screen dazzled med. Walking out of the theatre, I felt numb, and somewhat dissapointed. But still, I accepted "Episode One" as a reasonably bad sequel. But watching it again on DVD made me reconcider. This is a horrible film, barely watchable, and the anti-thesis of all that is good filmmaking. The poor actors stumble across their flat bluescreens, fighting imaginary monsters while things blow up. The feeiling of fakeness is pervasive. Everything is flat, digital and aimed to please a 9-year old audience. Star Wars is entertaining for about two hours, after that, it leaves you feeling hollow. There is nothing to digest here. Seeing it more than once is almost impossible - I had to take breaks from this sloppy mush! And those extra 6 hours of special features don't really help. The worst thing about Episode 1 is propably that it forces us, the grown fans of the original films, to realise that the original trilogi wasn't really all that good, either...

Summary: Does anyone remember when Star Wars was cool
Review: Truely, What the heck happen here. You've all seen it so I don't have to go into great detail. I'm just bitter is all. It's like some evil version of George Lucas came out of his twenty year hibernation with the soul intention of destroying all that was good from our childhoods. For those of you who were born after Star Wars maybe you don't understand, they were not just movies. They were myths and legends and they helped form our imaginations. Good versus evil, adventure and excitement, we sought these through these movie even if jedi should not. Now, we get Jar Jar, Metaclorians and a childrens book plot. George, I know you are rich and powerful in this life but, for what you have done, I hope there is a power greater than us that will make you suffer in the next life.

Summary: Great DVD, fun movie
Review: Okay...Okay... I did not enjoy it the way I enjoyed the original Star Wars. Perhaps that might have something to do with the fact that I was ten years old at the time. Maybe my standards have changed a bit over the past 25 years (at least I hope they have.) Yes the acting is mostly bad and mostly lost in the spectacular (if sometimes bloated) special effects. Hey, it's Star Wars people! Is Jar Jar annoying? Yes, to my mid-30-year-old mind. If I were 12 again? This might just be the coolest movie ever. Enjoy it for what it is. The extras alone are worth the purchase, and you get a pretty good kid's movie thrown in as a bonus.

Summary: Best for a high end surround sound setup
Review: This movie is the best in sound and adventure that I have in by vast DVD collection. The movie has added footage that makes it better than the original theatrical release. By far the thundering bass and the many different types of sounds make the viewer view things on the screen that would normally be overlooked on a normal television without surround sound. When I say surround sound, I do not mean a setup with small satellite speakers you can buy for under [price] at Best Buy or Fry's Electronics. If you want to feel the real experience, you must get a Mission, Klipsch, Infinity, Acoustic Research, or comparable surround sound setup. I tried out the below [price] Sony, JVC, Kenwood etc. setups and they just do not have what it takes to provide the deep base and the crisp highs not to mention the realistic vocals. By far this movie is the test of all tests for any surround sound system. It is a must own.

Summary: Not the best Star Wars film, but okay...
Review: I saw Phantom Menace before I saw the Trilogy, and I have to admit that when I first saw it, I was impressed. However, afterwards, I decided that it was not as good as the Trilogy, by a longshot. I give it three stars, first of all, for the dazzling computer generation, especially the adrenaline-filled Podrace, the terrible droid battle with the Gungans and the underwater race with the giant fish. I still marvel at what computers can do today. Secondly, for Liam Neeson's part in general. He did the part of the wise and kindly Jedi master Qui-gon Jinn, whose apprentice was Obi-wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and who sensed the power behind innocent Anakin Skywalker's (Jake Lloyd) appearance. I liked his part and was sorry and sad [with what happens to him]. Natalie Portman also played the part of beautiful Queen Amidala. Thirdly, for the music, being a fan of John Williams' first soundtrack for the Trilogy, I purchased the soundtrack for this one. It was remarkably better than the movie. Anyway, if I don't stop, I'll go rambling on about the soundtrack. If you like Trilogy, see this and maybe you'll like it too...maybe not.

Summary: A film which has run out of ideas but the effects are good
Review: The original Star Wars films were what cinema is all about. Well scripted escapism which showed imagination and vigour. Star Wars itself was important in freeing woman characters from being love objects or plot focuses. It allowed them to become characters in themselves. Star Wars 1 is a beautifully made film. The sets, the effects the photography are all brilliant. The problem is the plot and execution. Jar Jar Binks is one of the most annoying characters to enter the film world. Black market copies of this film are being sold now with him being digitally removed from every scene. The notion that a 15 year old girl could be elected to run a planet is also a fantasy which is clearly designed to make the film appeal to a younger target group. In much the same way the development of the Anakin Skywaler character is again aimed at the youth market. However in reality would some adults allow a 10 year old to engage in a dangerous car race to enable them to get some money to buy an engine? There are some plot points which are so unrealistic that they grate. The forces of evil in this film use robots to fight for them. These robots are incredibly bad shots who never seem to hit anything. Clearly the main thrust of the film is to provide an explanation for the emergence of autocratic rule in the Star Wars universe. However the character who is to emerge as the evil emperor is such a greaser one could not imagine him getting a job in a small shop let alone running the universe. His emergence over the next few episodes will only be possible if the other characters have major brain surgery which reduces their intelligence.
