Smells Like Teen Spirit

byDonlee_Brussel Jul 5, 2000
126 Helpfuls 127 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros After 16 years of wait, we get incredible eye candy and half decent performances
Cons Sadly, we also get a weak script and two of the most annoying characters ever
Recommended it? Yes

Although it was successful at the box office, Star Wars, Episode One: The Phantom Menace was a disappointing film with few admirable aspects. $110 million bucks worth of CGI both helped and hurt the film. Jar Jar Binks and Jake Lloyd practically ruined it. The script was pedestrian. And on top of... Read full review »

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace — And So the Star Wars Story Begins

byelvisdo Aug 30, 2000
94 Helpfuls 95 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Spectacular special effects, great-looking creatures, the world of Coruscant, the podrace
Cons Jar Jar Binks, the explanation of Anakin's conception
Recommended it? Yes

I better say something about Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace before I lose my nerve again. I usually don't habour any preconceptions or expectations before watching a movie, but it was really hard to do so with Episode I. After all, this is Star Wars, the most scrutinized franchise viewed... Read full review »

Pros Love the special effects! Love the soundtrack! Love Natalie Portman!
Cons Three words: Jar Jar Binks
Recommended it? No

Dear Son,

I hope by now you have recovered from the harsh words I let fly last night after I ejected the ?Special Edition Widescreen Collector?s Edition? video. Please realize that they were not directed at you personally, but rather at Mr. George Lucas in particular and Hollywood in... Read full review »

Pros Beautiful scenery, the Pod Race, highly imaginative.
Cons Unusual motives for fighting. Growing up sucks.
Recommended it? Yes

A certain fan of mine, an overnight stocker at Pick N Save once asked me if I was ever going to get around to reviewing any of the other Star Wars films besides Episode II: Attack Of The Clones. This was, of course, the first time in three years working there that anyone had even mentioned my... Read full review »

Pros It's a Star Wars movie. Great visuals and effects.
Cons Dragged in places. Anakin was annoying to me.
Recommended it? Yes

I have seen the movies in the Star Wars Trilogy many times and really enjoy them. I was excited when I first heard that George Lucas was going to make a prequel trilogy. I went to see Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace and did enjoy it though I felt there were some problems with the movie... Read full review »

Menacingly Unlike Star Wars...

Pros Star Wars! Special effects
Cons Not like the original trilogy
Recommended it? Yes

First off, I must say that I am a Star Wars fanatic. I love just about anything related to Star Wars. Obviously, I was so excited about Episode 1: The Phantom Menace's release. After seeing it in theaters for the first time, I was unsure whether or not it met my expectations. After another four... Read full review »

Pros Finally got to see #1
Cons Not as exciting as the first three
Recommended it? Yes

Finally, the first movie about the sequel Star Wars and I was disappointed. It took so long for the movie to come out and the beginning was long and drawn out. Liam Neeson playe Qui-Gon, the Jedi Master who taught Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewen McGregor) how to become a Jedi Knight. In this installment, we... Read full review »

Pros great digital effects
Cons nothing like the original series
Recommended it? No

(This opinion was written after seeing Episode I theatrically opening weekend.)

I really wanted to like this movie, but I didn't go in with high expectations.

Of course, the digital effects were phenomenal. But it takes more than that to make a good movie.

I thought it... Read full review »

Well, by George, Lucasfilm finally released The Phantom Menace on DVD in November of 2001. Now I get to see Jar Jar Binks all over again. Whoopee!

Wonder if George will ever turn loose of all the other STAR WARS movies on DVD so that those of us who are switching over to the new... Read full review »

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Vhs Rare Movie

The first of three prequels to George Lucas's celebrated STAR WARS films, EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE is set some 30 years before the original STAR WARS EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE in the era of the Republic. Naboo, a peaceful planet governed by the young but wise Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman), is being threatened by the corrupt Trade Federation, puppets of an evil Sith lord and his terrifying apprentice, Darth Maul (Ray Park). Jedi knights Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor, performing an amazing vocal imitation of Alec Guinness, the older Obi-Wan) are called on to intervene in the trade disputes. Along the way, they acquire an apprentice of their own in the form of young prodigy Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd), or as STAR WARS fans know him, the future Darth Vader. They also encounter Jar Jar Binks (Ahmed Best), a goofy, lizardlike creature who has been banished from his underwater world for clumsiness. When the Trade Federation launches an attack on Naboo, the queen and her allies mu
