This should not be part of your Star Wars collection

Rating: 3/10 (1 May 2000)

Just because you have the first 3 Star Wars movies does not mean that you need to purchase this piece of trash. Lucas has lost his direction- he has no idea what made the first 3 films great. He needs to understand that the script is 1000% more important than all the special effects in the world.
If you re-watch "Star Wars" or "Empire" after wathing "Phantom Menace" you see that the first 2 had CHARACTERS. The interaction between the characters, especially Han and Leah or Han and anyone is the reason why the movie worked. All the interaction is gone in this film because everyone and everything is a special effect.
And regarding Darth Maul, has there ever been a less effective character in a major picture? Unlike Darth Vader, we never know who this Darth Maul is or why he is trying to kill the heroes, thus we don't care about him. And Lucas should know that when you don't care about the character, the scenes become useless.
This movie is an embarrassment!
