DVD : Star Wars - Episode I, The Phantom Menace (Widescreen Edition)

Rating: - Me and my Stepdad hated it!
I watched this movie with my stepdad the other night and we both agreed that it was the worst movie ever made! My stepdad says that George Lucas is a jerk who only likes money. I agree. Why was there no fun stuff? It was like watching a boring video game. My Playstation 3 is more fun than this movie! I wish George Lucas was cool so he could make better movies. When the movie was over we scratched up the DVD and returned it to the library so the next people to check it out will be spared how stupid and boring it is. The movie is this: 2 guys (i think they are the guys from "Empire Strikes Back") fight these weird robot guys and then end up in an underwater city where they meet JarJar who was cool. He was my favorite character. Then they meet this girl (who was hot) and they take her to this desert planet where they meet this dumb kid whos name i don't remember. I'm jealous because he had all those cool toys! Then they go to a planet and do boring stuff for the rest of the movie. My stepdad says the original movies are better but I don't want to watch them because they are old! Old things are boring and stupid and I hate them! Overall my stepdad and me give this pile of s-it and 1/5.

Rating: - Not Quite 5 stars, but a great movie nontheless
This movie would be 5 stars had there not been a few acting problems. First off, Jar Jar Binks was the most annoying character in the entire series of Star Wars movies. Liam Neeson was great in his role, but it was slightly overdone, with a few too many "my padawan apprentice" and the like. Jake Lloyd did some good acting, but to many of us it may seem like he possessed too much naivete to become Darth Vader so quick. Also, he was a little childish, even if he was only, what? Nine? Ewan McGregor was an excellent choice to play Obi-Wan Kenobi, mainly because he did such a good job, but also that he was able to keep the job throughout the three prequels.

This movie has some of the best special effects and great lightsaber effects, with all the noises timed perfectly. Darth Maul was a nice twist, with his double-bladed lightsaber. He definitely made for a fierce opponent to the Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). The ending fight scenes were beautifully laid out and acted.

So therefore, easily a 4-star movie, but not quite a 5-star.

Rating: - Would Be Five Stars if......
This would be a five star movie if it weren't for Jar Jar Binks. He is a NIGHTMARE! At first, I handled him cooly and calmly. Then, he got a little annoying. Then, after half an hour of "baby talk", I couldn't handle it ANY MORE! I love Liam Neeson. He also played in Les Miserables, the drama, and was very good. Little Anikin Skywalker was a little annoying, not as bad as Jar Jar....but C-3PO was really funny....as always. I think this was a very good movie. I would rate it five stars if it weren't for Jar Jar Binks, though. He ruined the movie.

Rating: - pretty good
Star wars episode 1 is a lot better than what people give criedit for,but I do agree that jar jars annoying enough to bring it down a star but even though its my 2nd least favorte star wars its just as good

Rating: - Oki-Wan Kenodi's debut
This movie was fabulously entertaining on all character's introductions, starting with the young almost-grown Oki-Wan Kenobi and the kid Anakin Skywalker through their mentor, the entrance of Palpatine in both roles as the cowled Darth Sidious and newly-elected Chancellor of the Republic; I would love to see novels featuring both teacher and pupil as well as the arch-villain, plus their companion, Jar-Jar Binks for a comical touch of support! In others words, the movie was enchanting to watch from the escape of Queen Amadila to the battles!
