The force begins

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2018)

In what begins the auspicious chapter of a much greater story is a film of set pieces. George Lucas certainly has an affinity for laying all the cards on the table in his epic storylines. It is as if a book comes to life in chapters, beginning with The Phantom Menace.I am seeing this for the first time since it's inception in theaters in 1999. It is 2018 and I am by and large a Star Wars fan.
I enjoyed the setting of where Anakin came from, how Yoda was a set piece in the Jedi council and the introduction of the infamous Jar-Jar Binks. we also get to see the very first images of Jabba the Hut.
The elements of the story set up the foreground of Obi-Wan and him taking Anakin on as his Apprentice. I think both Liam Neeson/Ewan McGregor did admirable jobs in their performances. Natalie Portman, although gorgeous comes across very flat and uninteresting as the Queen. Anakin portrayed by Jake Lloyd in my opinion as a little boy was to bland as the young Skywalker.
Over all I enjoyed the plot, the special effects and production. If your a Star Wars fan you will enjoy how the whole story begins. I give this a 7 out of 10
