Pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2002)

I've never really been a star wars fan but after playing Jedi Knight 2, i really got into it. So i bought it on DVD (not my first, viewing). The time i saw it in the theatere, i was bombarded with bad critic reviews, hearing more bad than good. I was expecting it to be bad. After viewing it in the cenima, i thought it was bad becuse i was told bad. After viewing it a second time last week with more knowlege about the star wars universe, i realized that the Phantom Menace wasnt all that bad. Good special effects, good story, good plot....the list goes on. Sure there might be a few annoying one-liners here and there but you get use to them. As for Jar Jar, he wasn't all that bad either the second time viewing. People hated him because they were told to hate him by much of the media. Give Lucas a break, it's been almost 20 years since he last made a star wars film. Let him get his magic touch back.It's about one week from the next installment (Attack of the Clones) and i'm really excited with high expectations............Why isn't episode IV,V, or VI on DVD yet??

-=FINAL VERDICT=- 8/10
