Absolutely Fantastic, except the script.

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 1999)

Star Wars Episode 1 was an excellent movie, it had everything you could ask for in a Star Wars movie. The lightsabre fights were the best I have seen. My only problem is the script. There were many scenes in the movie which had greater potential to reveal more about the force and how it works, for example the Jedi Council scene.
Some of the dialogue was hollow, it had no substance and most times it was just stating the obvious. George Lucas really needs help writing the script like with Star Wars A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back.
Overall it was an exciting thrill ride. It is everything you expect in a Star Wars movie and a bit more
