Rating: 7/10 (4 May 2002)

Um I could not describe the excitement and passion that surged through the theater as we waited for the movie to start. And the great cheer that went up as the yellow letters hit the screen was just eerie. But then, the movie started.
Ok, it WAS a strong start, and it nicely introduced young OB1 and Qui-Gon Ginn. But my god, this movie doesnt live up to its full potential. Dont get me wrong it is a strong movie, but there are too many annoying little things which add up and make the film fall short. The settings were done quite nicely, and provided a great representation of the Senate, and Corusant. The saber duels, Darth Maul, The Emperor, Mace Windu, the force, and Yoda's classic role made the movie great, and brought me to tears at times.
Then there were the dark times of the movie. Every time Jar Jar opened his gungan mouth i wanted to take a lightsaber myself and sever his god forsaken head. And dont even get me started on Anakin Skywalker. He is nothing more than a whiny brat. You will feel yourself wanting to thrust yourself into the movie, and ramming his head into the engine of his racepod.
Thus far, E2 and E# are not out yet... (i suspect E2 will be the best EVER) However, E1:TPM is bad, but not as bad as RotJ. RotJ is getting to be more and more annoying as the saga gets enlarged. I mean cmon... well read my review on it... and then youll know how i feel about it...
