Somewhat disappointing, but the end scene made up for a lot.

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 1999)

Even though I remained hopeful in the face of all the bad reviews I must admit i was disappointed in the movie as a whole. I hated jar jar binks...I could barely understand a thing he said. I loved the lightsaber action, but something was missing. I believe the more child like feel that Lucas gave to the movie was because Anakin is so young, and the next two have to be much darker. Darth Maul was of course excellent. I know Lucas will come back with a winner for episode II and III.
Just please leave Jar Jar at home this time.
