Beautiful, a die-hard fan wouldn't expect any less.

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 1999)

The Phantom Menace merely gets the ball rolling for the saga, but I cannot wait for 2002 and the next installment. Lucas presents his movie to the public the way he wished he could have for the first three. Beware, Episode I is only a teaser for what is yet to come. Most of it is politics of the galaxy far far away and character development. Any true fan will be completely satisfied.
