Good Points

The fantastic visuals. the lightsaber fight. Darth Maul. Pod race and the FUN aspect.

Bad Points

If your over the age of 13 then Jar Jar is very annoying, but there realy isn't that much bad at all!

General Comments

Star Wars Episode I, The Phantom Menace is film undoubtedly is one of the most critically discussed films of all time. And thats a good thing, people are still bothered that it received critical backlash and that shows how much people 'live' Star Wars in general.
Personaly I cannot deny that I have a soft spot for it, there's somthing spinetingling about the pod race, the fight and Darth Maul.
Yes there are niggling flaws, but remember, If you were 10 when you saw a New Hope you would be 22 when you saw The Phantom Menace. You cannot deny that this is just an extremely expensive kids film. Thats the films greatest strength, it never forgets to be FUN! Just look at its good points and you will see what I mean, Padme's elegance, Jar Jars humour and Darth Maul+ Sideouses = MENACE!

    i agree with you. i also liked the score on this peticular starwars movie then any of the others; with the exception of "the imperial march" from the origonal starwars trillogy, that song is very cool.
