Summary: A pleasing watch, but not THE movie.
Review: This was a good movie, (I saw it three times) but it wasnt as good as was expected, or as it was hyped up to be. It was a cool movie, the special effects were awesome, and the story line was decent, but it failed in a few areas. The story line was decent, but not great. As others have mentioned, the story did have a lot of paralells between various earth wars and conflicts. I also do not like the way the Force is explained in this movie, a biological entity rather than a mental or spiritual force. I think the part that dissappointed me the most was the similarity to religious subjects, such as Anakin's "immaculate conception." Also, Jar Jar must die. I loved the fight scene between Darth Maul, Qui Gon, and Obi Wan, and the Podrace scene was the best part of the entire movie. I liked the movie, and will buy it when it comes out on tape, but it could have been much better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good movie
Review: This was a good movie, maybe not as good as the others , but it could not have had all the great characters of the other films which we all have grown to love and still made sense. Ok so Jar jar was overboard and I think they should have had an older Anakin in it (it hard to believe all that he did in this movie at his age). There were also some inconsistancies with the other Star Wars movies ( I thought Obi Wan was trained by Yoda!). But all in all it was a great movie with awesome special effects.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: This was a great dvd.The best real action is Ultimate Street brawls at streetbrawls.com. Anyway - this is an awesome and incredibly well done DVD. Lots and lots of extras. Great commentary by Lucas, the producer, the sound man, etc. Interview with the composer. Lots and lots and LOTS of background materials on the making of the film, and the entire process of putting it together from initial writing to final production, and the making of the DVD itself

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 2nd best in Star Wars saga
Review: This was a great movie and some of the best special effects ever seen in a movie to date, still it was no match for the awe inspiring Return of the Jedi.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lucas does it again
Review: This was a great movie it isnt as good as the originals but it comes close. This movie had plenty of action and drama of a sort. It had no romance in it at all but thats not what star wars is about. There are some flaws to this movie though. To me there were to many special effects in this movie i mean the movie was excellent but there were to many special effects. The story line wasnt great but it was good. Other than these small flaws thismovie is excellent i recommend that u buy this movie at once if u dont you'll be missin out on the best movie of 99.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: STAR WARS Returns
Review: This was a great movie. I enjoyed the special effects and thought the story was well written. It's a good look at the beginning of the STAR WARS saga we all remember. If you're familier with the movies, it's kind of predictable what will happen in future movies. But it's still worth it to see them as they come out. I recommend seeing this movie. It's quite good!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mixed Emotions
Review: This was a great summer film and I'm almost embarassed to admit that I paid for the ticket price on 12 different occasions to see this movie. Partly because I wanted to see the beautiful vistas and effects that I had been dreaming of since Luke waved goodbye to Yoda, Ben and Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi, but also to see if I was missing something from the uneven story. Lucas is a great filmmaker, but I really do think he should have let some scriptdoctors take a whack at this before he filmed it. The DVD itself is worthy of all the accolades and awards it has received although the Jar Jar edit feature mentioned by another reviewer would have been a good idea. The picture is super crisp even on my 20 year old TV and the sound is superb. Second to none!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
Review: This was a nice way to begin the Star Wars Saga. Immediatly, we are introduced to Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn and of course our main hero, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The film takes off from the Federation Control ship to the awesome Pod Race and then on to the final battle on the planet Naboo. This film is action packed and worthy of being called a Star Wars movie. The characters are well set up for Attack of the Clones and gives us a whole new look on Star Wars. Best Scene: The Three Way duel between Darth Maul, Jinn, and Kenobi is a Star Wars fans dream!

"We'll watch your future with great interest!"
- Chancellor Palpatine to Anakin Skywalker

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good movie
Review: This was a really good movie. I believe that if it didn't have the words "Star Wars" on it, all the people that say they don't like it would think it was a great movie, but the fact that it is Star Wars put their expectations way too high, and they were disappointed with the results. They expected the best movie ever, and all they got was a good movie.
