Visually Appealing but missing the main substance

Rating: 6/10 (19 April 2007)

Star Wars-Episode 1: The Phantom Menace is filled with unprecedented creatures, beautiful scenery, and mind blowing special effects, making it an "eye candy" kind of a movie. Although the character development is flat, the narration is mediocre in it's' attention to various issues, and George Lucas was risky in putting a cute, blonde, typical, and puny (of all things!) ten-year-old boy to be our sophisticated, and fast- paced Jedi/Sith-to-be, the visual effects are too pretty to pay any attention to this stuff anyway. Frankly, I, being younger, have the knowledge to say that this movie would serve as entertainment to all children ranging from two to twelve. Others, would have certainly found one weakness or the other like the ones I've just mentioned. Oh Well, I guess looks appeal to the mass.
