Oh dear, oh dear

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 1999)

This film really deserved to do as badly as possible. Phantom Menace is style over substance, with a script as weak as over diluted tea. The story is pathetic, the actors woefully miscast and the computer characters are annoying and a really bad idea - a really bad idea.
The film's idea is good, but in practise it just does not work. Sorry Mr Lucas, but you have made a cold turkey.
