A great film

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 1999)

This is a great film. I am a star wars freak and was not disappointed at all. The film had flaws as all do, but it was still great. Unfortunately the critics ruined the film for some people. They said that the film was horrible, but thats what they said about the episodes 4,5,and 6. Now they love it. I will answer their main complaints.
1. Jar Jar-- Yeah he got annoying at times. He was put in for the kids. Like the ewoks. And also like the ewoks he eventually grows on you. See it more then once to see what I mean.
2. Underdeveloped characters-- This is the introduction. You will learn more about all the characters as the next two come out. Especially Qui Gon Jinn.
3. Bad acting-- They're some bad performances, but there are some good ones. Liam Neeson, Ewan Mcgreggor (perfect for the role), Ian Mcdermind, and who could forget, Frank Oz.
The biggest problem I had with the movie was Anakin. I felt that he was too young. So when the one part where him and padme say that they care for each other it seems more like a mother-son relationship and not something that will develop into a husband-wife. They could have made him a little older but everything else was good. I liked how they snuck in E.T. and other creatures. And the fight scenes were done masterfully. 9 out of 10
