A must see visual extravaganza that sets the stage for episodes 2 &3.

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 1999)

The Phantom Menace is a movie that everybody should see. The world that Lucas creates is so visually stunning that you might find yourself staring at the screen in awe and not paying attention to the dialog. It won't really matter anyway because the plot is not too difficult to grasp. Besides this simplicity and the fact that it is confined to setting the stage for the sequels, The Phantom Menace is pure fun that makes you feel like kid again. You won't see a better sci-fi movie until Episode II is released; I can't wait.
