Great characters, Great Design and Wonderful music score.

Rating: 8/10 (28 August 2017)

having just watched this movie again - 18 years after it's release, I felt it was time to add my thoughts on this entertaining film.
I feel it delivers great atmosphere for the Star Wars Universe right from the first scene, and watching the two Jedi at the start, really does remind you of their immense skills and awesome presence.
the action throughout the movie is breath taking, and the story line is captivating, with really strong performances from all the main characters. Liam Neesan was superb (he is in most things to be fair) After consideration the Lightsabre battle between the two Jedi and the impressive Darth Maul, is the most impressive in the entire series - the stunt work and coordination in this sequence is simply incredible and I wish to applaud the film makers/actors for delivering this.
The end whilst sad is fitting and coincides well with the future of the story.
On a further note Jar Jar Binks is a little annoying but does bring a fun element to what is more of a family movie - don't think we should be overly harsh on this.
Don't listen to all the naysayers, this is actually a rather enjoyable film with some truly classic moments - enjoy!
