Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Pros: Excellent special effects

Cons: Jar Jar Binks

Review: Episode 1 The Phantom Menace was a good movie. It wasn't the best movie of 1999, but was up there. There are both excellent and annoying parts to the movie. Some great parts were the pod race and the battle between Obi-wan Qui-gonn and Darth Maul...

Pros: Special effects and sound quality

Cons: no dvd format

Review: I'm not sure if it was because I walked in knowing the end to the whole
ordeal or if there was just something missing, but I didn't feel completely satisfied.

Then again it could have been the kid who played Anakin that left that...

Pros: Watching from "the beginning"; the last half hour is great

Cons: The first 3/4 isn't . Good, but not great.

Review: The first time I saw Star Wars, my dad took my sister and I. I will forever remember standing in line for what seemed like forever. But I LOVED it! Partially because it was my first real movie, partially because it was just Dad and his girls. Mostly...

Pros: Special Effects, Action, Music, Family Oriented

Cons: Script is lackluster, Acting a bit stiff too

Review: There are two kinds of people in this world: stark-raving mad fans of Star Wars and the regular Joe or Jane that likes a good movie. Talk to a rabid fan and you'll get strange rants about the film not being on DVD, how they want to kill jar Jar...

Pros: Effects, action, Natalie Portman, Liam Neeson, seeds of a great story

Cons: Dialogue, focus on FX instead of characterization, *sigh* Jar Jar

The Bottom Line: I have mixed feelings on The Phantom Menace, but on the whole it's an enjoyable flick that gives us background to the Real Deal.

Review: I'm a Star Wars fan from the beginning. Star Wars was the first movie I remember seeing in the theatre, when I was 4 years old. From that point on, I was a freak. The toys, the sequels, the books....everything I could get my grubby little mitts on...

Pros: Good addition to Star Wars Story

Cons: Characters are one dimensional

Review: Let's face it. We're all Star Wars fans to some degree. When we heard Episode I was coming we all flipped. I'm no different.

But this film has taken a lot of criticisms, most of which are right on the money. But all in all, this is a good...

Pros: great visuals & sound, good for kids

Cons: dumb plot, mediocre acting, Jar Jar from hell

Review: Let's get right to the point: "Episode 1:The Phantom Menace" is not great, nor is it even very good when looked at under the critical magnifying glass that it invariably put under by the western world. What it is, if you can manage to look at it...

Pros: STARWARS!!!

Cons: None

Review: Starwars movies have been entertaining people for generations, and with the re-release of the original another starwars movie was a must. Starwars has always been one of the best movie series ever made, and Phantom menace is a great successor to the...

Pros: Visuals and Action Scenes

Cons: Weak Story

Review: I enjoyed the Phantom Menace. Its not a perfect film, but it is highly entertaining and enjoyable. I am not surprised it made so much money, and I am looking forward to it being released on video in April. The effects were the highlight of the film...

Pros: Great background info on some of the characters, amazing Jedi duel at the end

Cons: Too many special effects, too silly in some parts

Review: You cannot watch Episode I just one time and be able to develop a fair opinion about it. The first time I saw it, I enjoyed it, but was very disappointed. Like most people, I didn't think it was nearly as good as the other Star Wars movie and was...
