Summary: good intoduction to a great story.
Review: i think it is a shame that so many people have panned this movie. i'm not sure what they were expecting it to be - it is only the first movie of a six-part series. they worry about a lack of plot and character development, but both of those would have been completely out of place here. in "the phantom menace," the characters are introduced and the plot of the entire series is set up. that is all this movie set out to do, and it was accomplished. i hope that after they see episodes two and three, they'll be able to come back to this movie and more fully understand how it fits in. i'm looking forward to this first star wars dvd.

Summary: Where's the DVD?
Review: I think not releasing this on DVD but on VHS was a BAD marketing move - and what's the deal anyway? Where's all the Indy flicks too! I'm not buying any LucasFilm/LucasArts DVD's until they treat DVD owner's fairly!Here we are - going out on a limb supporting a new technology - and a big company like LucasFilm won't release stuff on DVD! Give me a break!

Summary: Come on!! a future classic.
Review: I think people ahve way too much time to think about nothing!! I thought this movie was awesome, great, fantastic!!!! I'm a Star Wars fan but not to the point of having a fine tooth comb. I mean, what a great start to an epic adventure!! The special effects are incredible, the scenery and worlds are incredibly realistic. The characters are believable, and each has their own story that we begin to catch glimpses of. You really can't say enough about how great this movie is.
And yes, finally on DVD. I originally heard that DVD would not come out until all the first three were over. Well at 33 I am beginning to get a little impatient. And the extra features on the DVD are a whole treat in themselves. This packed DVD will bring even more to the movie than the movie itself. Go buy it now and don't stop until you have all 6 in the series.

Summary: What Kind of a Father Would I Be if I said its junk?
Review: I think people have to take stock of the obvious: that this movie is a real blast and unending fun... if you're ten years old or less. I was ten years old when Star Wars came out. I loved it. I was obsessed with it, as was every other male kid in my class. We spent all our time drawing tie fighters and x wings. We couldn't get enough of it. Now, Episode One is out and my two older children love it. They are four and two. I must admit that there is a certain nostalgic, time-warp savor in seeing my four year old son walking around in a Star Wars T shirt. And for him and his two year old brother, Episode One is fantastic. So for me to say that the movie is terrible and the characters are wooden and the accents are arbitrary and fly-by-night, that Liam Neeson should be publicly horse whipped just for being Liam Neeson, that whoever heard of a 6 year old kid making intricate carvings, much less flying a space buggy... all this is not to the point. It would be like trying to inhabit a doll house and complaining that the cups and saucers are so frigging small.

Summary: I think you folks are missing something.
Review: I think some skeptics out there need to take another long look at this movie. I see the same fact pointed out over and over again, this movie had no plot. Well if you really take a long look at it, it does. Not only does it have a plot, but it's a fairly complex plot as well. The flashy animations and everything were nothing more then a backdrop to good story. Things like the pod race, were essential. I don't think it's the fact that this movie had no plot. I myself, believe it's that the plot was a little too complex for all the A.D.D. kids out there that had their attention pulled away, by all the shiny aliens in the background. Don't punish a director or writer for your lack of attention skills.

Summary: Great Movie, Mind-Blowingly Cool DVD
Review: I think that although Episode I is not nearly as great as the Original Trilogy, it is still an excellent movie. Of course, I'm a big Star Wars fan, but that doesn't mean I can't find flaws. Jar Jar is a flaw, but the great special effects, cool lightsaber battles, and out-of-this-world space battles more than make up for his amphibious self. The DVD is packed full of bonus material that would make a Star Wars fan feel like they were in heaven. The Star Wars locales that morph into menus are almost as amusing as the special features themselves, and there are also some easter eggs...

Summary: Send a Message.
Review: I think that DVD enthusiasts should send a message to Mr. Lucas and not buy the video nor the DVD when he releases it in the year 3000, or when ever. Star Wars and THX are synonymous with one another. Star Wars means digital, 5.1 sound and awesome video clarity. You can not experience this with the analog VHS release. It's a shame that the movie industry thinks it can make us wait on their terms. I remember when the movie mongers who made the Titanic tried to do the same thing. And when they released the the DVD version I chose not to buy it. Let them suffer and eat the loss. Again send a message to Mr. Lucas and make "him" wait instead.

Summary: Gets better with age.
Review: I think that once George Lucas has completed the Star Wars saga we will look upon this film more sympathetically. It was savaged on release for its awful script and wooden acting, and that will still remain true, but it will be seen more and more important in relation to the whole saga. It is merely an introduction, and at the time, critics and fans alike were dissaponted because nothing was new.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I think that Star Wars: Episode 1 was a great movie and the DVD is even better. I love all the special features and Jar Jar is no more annoying than rap or alot of the music today.
