George does it again

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 1999)

Like everyone else I heard/read/viewed the negative reviews of Star Wars: Episode One. Still I went expecting to be impressed and I was. I felt like I was a kid again. As soon as "A Long time ago..." appeared on the screen I felt a thrill. I thought back to the first time I remembered seeing those words in a theatre.
I got what I expected, I had fun at the movies. Sure the movie had its strengths (Liam and Ewan, podrace, Darth Maul)and its weaknesses (one Jar-Jar not too bad, an entire Race? Ugh!). That doesn't take away from the fact that it was a fun night out and I'll recommend it to anyone.
