Thoroughly Engaging.

Rating: 9/10 (20 April 2000)

Yes, there is too much Jar Jar, but the production design, special effects and (especially) the musical score make this a thoroughly engaging movie. It's for kids, which is as it should be. The influence of the great old cliffhangers from the past is felt, as are references to the great legends and myths which have built whole civilizations. Not without flaws, but worthwhile.
