all that needs to be said...

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2000)

All that needs to be said about this movie is that it is a film purposley directed at children, adn in that respect it achieve's it's goal, it is a fantastic children't movie, with everything in it, special effects, 'comedy' character, and Anakin for the little nippers to relate to and wish to be. Maul is a great pantomime character, as are those slug things trying to invade the planet.
It is an absolute crying shame that this movie was not approached in a completely different way, and aimed at adults as an extension to the original Star Wars movies (admitadly the much harder route).
Episode 1 is nothing like the originals, and it does not even attempt to be (scared perhaps of not living up to the standards)
