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!

It is nice to look at (my jaw still drops at the first site of Gunga City) and I liked Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor as the master and pupil (top marks to Ewan for his Alec Guines ...

After much waiting and speculating, the Star Wars Episode One movie was finally here. Expectations were very high and everyone, including me, were prepared to see a visual and aural masterpiece. Trouble is, everyone has cought up with digital effects nowadays and Lucasfilm had to create something special or risk being overwhelmed by other less budgeted movies.....and that's what happened. Even though Episode One is one of the top grossing movies in history, this I belive, can be attributed to St ...

As science fiction films go, Star Wars Episode 1 has a few good light sabre fight sequences and that's about it. Not a patch on any of the original Star wars films. Difficult to imagine Ewan McGregor as a budding Jedi after recovering from too much heroin in train spotting. Liam Neeson was much more convincing and carried the film (in my opinion)
