Episode 1 is the best out of the 2 other prequels. The visuals are not too computer generated; it just looks a bit more real. Casting Liam Neeson for Qui-Gon was the best choice by far. I must consider the lightsaber... Full review

The Phantom menace takes us back to when it all started. Of how Annakin skywalker came about joining the jedi order. It does a commendable job of introducing us to Annakin as well as explaining to us the fact that it... Full review

although still good, it lacked great story compared to the others. while its CGI was very impressive, it had too many unlikable characters and lots of holes in the plot. it is worth the 6.4/10 that IMDB users give it.... Full review

Queen Amidala's Costumes are beautiful, the musical score is amazing, the sets are gorgeous....Also, George Lucas write one awkward love scene.....Liam Neeson delivers a wonderful acting performance.....Episode I has lots of "good" in it.....In addition to this, this film really brings out an intriguing plot, filled with plenty of action..... ...

Much, much better than your usual studio-produced behind the scenes "featurettes", this documentary shows you how much incredible work went into this admittedly underwhelming film, and shows that no matter what the budget, without a great screenplay you're not going to get a great movie. ...

Overall, it is a remarkable film for its bravura and its inventiveness.
The combination of pre-existing knowledge about some of the leading characters and the epic scale of the production is awesome.

no one expected great drama;....trivial scenes that are supposed to resonate deeply because of the story we already know.....nothing in it tells us anything we need to know in order to appreciate STAR WARS (1977) or THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980) or even the lamentable RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983).....They deserved a great movie designed for the ten-year-old in us all, not a film designed for ten-year-olds.....Natalie Portman is regal in her Queen regalia but lifeless when posing in her alter ego role as the Q ...
