George Lucas is Da Man!!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2002)

George Lucas did not direct a movie since 1977 when he directed Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope. So, I thought that this movie was a very good come back for him. I thought that the movie was going to suck, when actually it kicked major a$$ with the cast, the music by John Williams, the special effects, plus more.
Two jedi knights named Obi-Won Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Qui-Gon (Liam Neeson) have crash landed on a strange planet. While on this planet with Queen Amadila (Natalie Portman), the two Jedi's meet little Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd) and discover that he is for sure going to be a Jedi when he grows up. After watching him win a pod race competition, they decide to take him away from his home (with his permission first) and go train him to be a jedi knight. When they do, it is discovered that they have to do battle with a creature warrior known as the Phantom Menace. They figure that this battle will teach youn Anakin that skill of being a Jedi knight.
Written, produced, and directed by George Lucas (Raiders of the Lost Ark), Episode I was one of the best films of the summer of 1999.
