A good re-entry of the best franchise

Rating: 7/10 (9 October 2007)

A lot of people have complained about this movie being the worst movie. I can tell you hear that the worst movie I have seen is Son of the Mask. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, I believe, is a good re-entry of the well known franchise we come to know and love. Now, I said good, not the best, and I'm a Star Wars fan. I tell you it is good because of a few things. One, the script did not exactly hit the mark like it did with the original trilogy. Two, the movie introduced a character that was a bit too childish and annoying to be a comic relief. And finally, the actor who played young Anakin was not the best choice. I hear that the script was terrible, it was too childish, the acting was wooden, it had too many special effects, and it was overall, a bad movie. But there are a few points I would like to make: 1. It is difficult for George Lucas to come up with good quality prequels that has been shelved for 22 years. 2. Lucas has made special effects more realistic since the first movie. He is trying to push the boundaries with that technology. Besides, the reason he didn't have the prequels is because he didn't have the special effects he needed to make them. 3. It's a kid's movie. Don't be too rash on the film, calling it too childish. You were kids when you saw the first movie and you liked it. Now let your kids enjoy this movie. Just because you got older and more mature doesn't mean Star Wars won't grow older and more mature. 4. The reason for the movie to be very political is because it reflects on ourand the world's government. It shows us of how a government could fall over greed and power. 5. Jar Jar Binks is there because C-3PO and R2-D2 didn't exist as comic reliefs. Jar Jar maybe annoying and a little childish, but it shows us of the childish nature within ourselves.
My final word, I believe it's a good, not the best, re-entry of the franchise.
