The beginning chapter of the saga that changed motion picture history

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 1999)

I thought the PHANTOM MENACE was a really good movie. You can tell how much Lucas has evolved the field of visual effects sinc e RETURN OF THE JEDI. Back then people still liked the effects. The storyline was wonderful. The best sequences were the pod race and the Darth Maul vs. Qui-Jon Ginn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. It was also nice to see the familiar faces of C3PO, R2-D2, and Jabba the Hutt. Jar Jar Binks provides some of the best sidekick action since Chewbacca. This movie is what people actually worth the price of admission.
