Probably the best of the prequels

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2006)

I really don't like the fact that some people don't like Anakin as a small boy.
For my part, I thought it was a good idea. Much better that making him evil all at once; we had to see Anakin before he was evil, back to when he was as innocent as you or me as a newborn.
9-year-old Jake Lloyd did a great job as young Anakin, and the pod race was fantastic.
**Spoilers ahead**
I also don't like it that they killed off Qui-Gon so quickly. He was a good character; they at least could have shown his "spirit" in the second or third episode.
Overall, I'd say this is probably the best of the prequels. I don't hate this movie, but I don't love it either.
