The main problem I had with this film was Darth Maul... It thought he was lame and was nothing like the other sith lords. I hated this film. |

I know that not many people liked this movie, but I liked it. I liked the race scene in particular. |

Not as good as the original 3. |
|
In light of the completion of the Star Wars saga with Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is probably due for a re-evaluation. While by no means anywhere near as good as the original trilogy, neither is it really that bad a film. After all, it's still Star Wars! The one overwhelming criticism of Episode I is the presence of one Jar Jar Binks. A computer generated amphibian with possibly the most irritating and child-like character and almost unintelligible voice in the history of cinema, with the possible exception of Chris Tucker's Ruby Rhod in 'The Fifth Element'. Jar Jar is merely a walking talking marketing device aimed squarely at children. It is he who is the main cause of irritation for the die-hard fans. But also the lack of action, and the slightly over-l... |

As a self-proclaimed Star Wars fanboy, I'm probably giving this film too much credit. To truly appreciate the Phantom Menace, you can't review it as a stand-alone film (at which it fails) but as part of the entire Star Wars saga (at which it makes for decidedly better results).
Let's get the bad out of the way first: Jar Jar Binks sucks, Jake Lloyd is too precious (Yippee?!) and don't even get me started on midi-chlorians. I could have done without a lot of things but it's obvious this was marketed toward the younger generation (and let's face it, Star Wars is as much about merchandise as anything else) and that's what all the wacky side-kick, childish language and cuteness was all about.
Luckily, there are more than enough good things to counter. Forget little Annie - this story is... |

Before this film was released, the hype around it was huge. Everyone who was anyone was there opening night to see the epic saga return to the screen. Those with young children who grew up watching it brought these tykes in to see history in the making. What these audiences saw was pure, unadulterated child's play. Marketed to make video games and draw in the children's crowd, "Phantom Menace" was by all means and definitions crap. I went to it several times and each time, found myself growing in depression and angst. I blame this movie for my "trauma" years.
Nonetheless, it is a "Star Wars" movie and it must be watched to fully appreciate the masterpiece that is the original three. I can't stand it when people chose to stave off watching episodes 4-6 and began with episode 1.... |
