The legend begins

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 1999)

I went into The Phantom menace looking for a stinker, but i came away with what was an awesome movie. First, the only downsides were Jar Jar binks and all of the accidental victories(see the movie). Now the good side: The sound in the THX theater, the acting, seeing a young darth vader and obi wan,Samuel L Jackson, The future emperor as a good guy, The more evil than words Darth Maul, and of course the wonderful special effects. The beautiful Natalie Portman earned her keep in this film with in my opinion the best acting. Jake Lloyd who played Anakin Skywalker also did a wonderful job for his age and the immense role he was asked to take on. Less than 1100 days to go until Episode 2, i can't wait. SEE this movie now!
