Movie, Star Wars, Entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 1999)

Well, what to say about this film.
It was way over hyped. I mean there is no way this movie (or any movie) could have lived up to all the stupid hype it's gotten.
I loved the movie! It was a great setup for the next two. the FX are awesome, and the acting is just as good as it was in the first Star Wars.
I have to feel sorry for poor Ewen. He had some BIG shoes to fill! Critics are hacking the poor guy to bits. I mean what are these guys looking for? Obiously he can't be what Alec Guinness (Mr. Was-nominated-for-best-supporting-actor-in-first-Star-Wars). Ewen does an excellent job of being a young Obi-Wan.
My only complaint about Episode I was that the plot should have been expanded a little bit more, but what I forgot (and most other people) was that the original Star Wars didn't develop characters all that much, and the plot was rather simple. It WAS a fun movie to watch. I loved Episode I. It was and is a fun movie to watch :).
