Solid fun as expected

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 1999)

Those critics are obnoxious. TPM is pretty good. The visuals and special effects are spectacular. The young Anakin is cute and lovable. Jar jar binks is kinda irritating though. Some of the scenes, esp, the pot race will definitely spin off some amazing and exciting yet non-violent video games. George is out to make some money. It could be better though, ie, an epic, if he let a more competent director to do the work. In any case the TPM deserves a 8/10. A must see. Definitely worth the admission price. I am very happy to pay the $4 matinee (2:30pm) on 5/19 release date.
