This one did not live up to expectation.

Rating: Null/10 (14 July 1999)

The Phantom Menace does live up to its predecessors because the plot is very thin. The movie is both enjoyable and exciting because of the digitally rendered worlds you get to see. Yet, there is a lack of urgency because the characters do not have any real problems problems to face. I hope the next one is better, but this should not be too hard to beat.
