This is an incredibly underrated movie.

Rating: Null/10 (8 October 1999)

Is it possible for a film that has made over $400 million at the box office to also be one of the most underrated films of all time? I think so. Like many people, I was not sure what to think after I watched TPM for the first time. There had been so much media speculation about it before it's release that any movie, any story, any performances would almost seem a disappointment. I have, however, since seen it again and without the anticipation factor, I was able to see the movie for what it was, an excellent opening act for a continued story. Within the frame of the film, there was a plethora of brilliant images and beautiful symbolisms. There is a lot more going on in the mind of George Lucas than dollar signs. The power of the music is also unquestionable. John Williams has created a score that not only underscores the emotions of the film, but it also stands as a very strong piece of music on it's own. And finally, I have to say it...I didn't find Jar Jar annoying. I know that saying this will render me on the unpopular side of the issue, but he was the film's comic relief and in that capacity, he served very well.
