Good, not great, well worth price of admission

Rating: 7/10 (25 May 1999)

This is a very entertaining movie that I would recommend, especially for kids, but also for adults. I preferred the earlier Star Wars and am looking forward to the next two installments. Everyone says that the special effects are wonderful - and they are right. The plot and characters are ok, about what you would expect from a good, not great, movie.
I enjoyed Matrix more than Star Wars and recommend Matrix as the better movie, although it has the drawback of depicting a lot of violence, which Star Wars does not. Star Wars is a wonderful family movie.
