Incredibly Entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2000)

While not the best movie I saw this year, it was the most entertaining. Yes, it seems the script is "dumbed down" so kids can understand it. Yes, it does seem to have some kind of racial undertone regarding some of the aliens. And yes, the kid playing Anakin is awful. But, the plot, action scenes, costumes, and special effects are top-notch. Isn't that what you're seeing this for? When I left the theater I was unsatisfied because I needed to know more. Who was Darth Maul? Lord Sidious? Where'd the kid come from? Why didn't the Jedi Council send more people to help Naboo? Maybe we'll find out in the next movie.
