AMAZING

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 1999)

After many years of waiting, finally the phantom menace is upon us and Lucas has outdone himself once again. The movie is simply amazing. If you can put aside some of the not so great acting scenes, you will simply love this movie. Star Wars is like nothing else out there and the Phantom Menace is the perfect first installment of the series. Go see this movie many times. Don't expect this movie to explain everything though, the Phantom Menace is setting up the next two movies and it does a very good job of it. Best scenes - the pod race and the final 20 minutes of the movie. These scenes will simply make your jaw drop. This movie appeals to the kid in all of us. I loved it.
