Rough start for the sequel trilogy 6/10

Rating: 6/10 (14 May 2020)

So making a new trilogy of films that tells what happened prior to the original story fans have come to known can be a little tricky. Especially in this particular film. There are many defaults in the sequel trilogy that fans love to mock about and its understandable because there are many bad things in this trilogy I would have removed. But now lets focus on The Phantom Menace. There is a lot of talking and negotiations in the film until finally there are actions being taken by the characters. The final battle for example, took to long to happen and could have been pushed forward in the plot. The acting was fine I guess, only a few lines that became a joke in this galaxy. Example for bad writing. At last we have the famous lightsaber battle in every star wars film: Darth maul is a great character and he kicks ass in the sequence. Liam Neeson is good as always with his acting skills and Ewan McGregor is fantastic. Overall it is a solid film. The sequel trilogy started with left foot.
