A visual and emotional masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2000)

I would consider this movie the greatest movie of the decade and after the original trilogy the greatest film of all time.
This film brought back the special galaxy that we haven't visited in 16 years and gives us a whole new look at it. There was no Luke Skywalker, no Princess Leia, no Han Solo, but in their place we were given new unforgettable characters such as Anakin Skywalker, Queen Amidala, and Qui-Gon Jinn. And I don't think I could make a good review without mentioning Jar Jar Binks. Come on, he was a cool character. I mean for all of you out there who keep saying you hate him, don't you have anything better to do than make fun of an imaginary character.
Moving on, the key thing that held this movie together was the story. Good v.s. Evil is the main theme here. That's was Star Wars always was.
Another thing that made this movie work were it's astounding visual and sound effects and how could I forget John Williams' fantastic score. I'm shocked that this did not get an Oscar nomination. The final battle will get your emotions up to full strength until the end of the movie and the music helps do it.
Another thing that stood out in this movie was Natalie Portman. Aside from being extremely beautiful she was also very talented in her role as the Queen of Naboo. I really loved her work.
All in all, this movie was the greatest since Return of the Jedi, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys watching a great movie. Way to go, George!
