The movie of the year, of a life

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 1999)

To be honest with The Phantom Menace, don't compare to the Star Wars trilogy. It's another thing. Much more special effects, a different style. Maybe a little bit technologic for a story 30 years before another.
Good things: The cast is excellent and the performances are great. Some surprises are on. The final battle with the music Duel of the Fates. The F/X are great but a little too much. Podrace!!!
Bad things: Maybe too much F/X. The character of Darth Maul is not develop as much as Darth Vader was. Jar-Jar Binks is a little bit annoying.
It's a movie to see and to see and to see.
The movie of the year and the movie of a lifetime. Can't wait for Episode II.
9 out of 10
