The Phantom Menace is pure money.

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2000)

Lucas is a genius. Another quality episode created in the eyes of a true modern day Shakespeare. Despite it's greatness Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace has taken shots from almost everyone. According to the people who call themselves true Star Wars fans there is no reason Jar Jar Binks should have survived the opening scenes. What is wrong with you people? Jar Jar maybe annoyeng but so was Judas. And we all know that without Judas; Jesus's death would not have been as gratifing. The problem is too many people are seeing the movie not feeling the movie. This movie moves with great fore-shadowing that is as thick as a McDonald's milk shake. The movie ventures off of the origional three star wars but keeps the common focus on the common Star Wars standards. It entails a lot of Biblical references but drifts into comman universial issues with classic human nature characteristics. The way I feel about the people critizing George Lucas for this movie reminds me to give them this quote, "I find your lack of faith disturbing."-Darth Sidous All in all this movie was the best movie of 1999 and maybe the decade. Go out and pick this movie up because you will regret it in seven years if you don't. And when it comes to the academy they are not Star Wars fans just "posiers with Oscars" and if anyone says that they're Star Wars fans and only talk about the things they hate about this movie are "Posiers without Oscars". I'm sorry if I have offend anyone I'd be happy to discuss this anytime just e-mail me. Try to look past the hype and enjoy a truely crafted masterpiece. Thank You GrungeMasterDeluxe @yahoo.com
