Truly a masterpiece!

Rating: 7/10 (15 October 2000)

When I went to the movie theatres to see this movie, I wouldn't think it would be this good. I thought it was just going to tell us more about Anakin when he was young. But when I saw this movie, I was amazed! I saw this twice in the theatres and I'm not sick of it. The special effects were wonderful, and the casts were great, (especially Ray Park as Darth Maul). The storyline was fairly good. I have to say that it wasn't superb, it was average. The other episodes of Star Wars were much better, its just that The Phantom Menace tells you more about the force, the jedi, the dark side, etc. It also tells you more about Anakin and Queen Amidala's relationship between each other. It tells you how they meet and how they get along. This will be good for the other prequels, episode II and III. So overall, I rate this movie 8/10. Not only because of the special effects, but because of the masterpiece.
