Great film effective setup for the episodes to come and those we have already.

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 1999)

Lucas has done an excellent job of setting up for the next two episodes in the Star Wars saga. Even in the parts of the movie where you knew something had to happen to get us to stuff in Episodes 4,5, and 6 you were on the edge of your seat in anticipation. In example Anakins podrace win. Lucas once again did a brilliant job of directing and writing the script. Now let's see if Hollywood ignores this big budget blockbuster at the Academy Awards or they choose to hand the Oscars to the people who deserve them, namely Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, and Lucas Jake Lloyd also did a nice job. A 10 plus one of my all time faves.
