Rubbish, I'm afraid

Rating: 4/10 (12 July 2001)

Far below the standard of episodes IV to VI, the Phantom Menace failed to impress on just about every possible level.
After half an hour or so I found myself admiring the scenery in the background (which was admitedly quite good) not exactly the sign of a gripping movie!
I'll be interested to see how episodes II and III handle Darth Vader's turn to the Dark Side...
