There are a couple of weaknesses with the first prequel, but, it gets better towards the Podrace sequence and the lightsaber duel in the finale.
After all the hype and excitement, I don't think it was ever going to be possible to live up to expectations but they really could have done better than this. The first episode of three that will eventually link the trilogies is really tenuous, not to mention, tedious. Jake Lloyd...( read more)
Looks great, love Mos Eisley, easily recognised as the Star Wars universe and always looks good. There's also an excellent pod race sequence which is the highlight of the film really, apart from that its pretty average but for the exciting Sith lord Darth Maul, he really saves th...( read more)
If you think that the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise is popular, or that The Dark Knight was hotly anticipated you'd be right, but they are NOTHING compared to the impact of the original Star Wars films at the time they were made. Star Wars was not so much a film franchise, b...( read more)
It's difficult for me to rate a film like this. Do I rate it on how much I like it (which isn't much because I find this scifi film series very difficult to understand most of the time), or by acting (which was very good), by make-up (fantastic) or by special effects (just as go...( read more)
although in the beginning i kept saying it was not interesting, i seem to be wrong. I LOVED IT.
this is the beginning of the star wars decline until the star wars the clone wars tv series
While it isn't as bad as it could've been, it was nowhere near the level of my expectations. The campy style of certain nameless characters were extremely bothersome and intrusive on the overall story. That said, the mythology set up for the universe was amazing. The expansion of...( read more)
Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace is an ingenious beginning of a science fiction epic.The setting is in an outer space civilization that is run by a galactic republic. The universe is inhabited by humans, robots, cyborgs, and aliens. There are different planets and culture...( read more)
The actors are wallpaper, the jokes are juvenile, there's no romance, and the dialogue lands with the thud of a computer-instruction manual. full review
Please DON'T listen 2 what 'Immortal Disciple' is saying about 'Star Wars'! It's the BEST saga EVER created on the face of the Earth!!!!!!!
-Cheyenne (#1 Star Wars fan)
doesn't really matter even if yoda puppert was bad at least he did not spoil yoda charcacter IT GOOD THE ACTION AND DARTH MAUL WAS ONE OF THE BEST SITH EVER
Everything people complain about in these movies were all in the first ones.
You're all hypocrites.
It needed MUCH more Darth Maul battling, and just cut out that slobbering fish guy or the two-headed announcer... or even any Jabba The Hut animations in this and Star Wars A New Hope.
For that matter, Lucas used a horrible puppet in this one for Yoda, yet stuck to better CGI Yoda for the other two... and since they were only releasing the Special Edition Star Wars films for dvd until recently, why not tweek ze Phantom Menace when THAT was put onto dvd?
Am I The Only One That Likes Episode 1 & 2? I Mean Besides The Annoying Jar Jar What's Not To Like? Ok So Anakin Started Out As A Crying Little Bitch But That Just Sets The Mood Perfectly When The Sudden Change To The Dark Side Begins. I Think They Are Just As Good And Important To The Entire Saga And Episode 3 Proves That Being The Best One Of All.
