Lives up to the Name Star Wars

Rating: 7/10 (27 July 1999)

The Phantom Menace was a great film and well worth the hype. Jar-Jar is not as bad as most people seem to think. Natalie Portman was incredible as the Queen. Ewan McGregor was a perfect young Obi-Wan. I've seen it "only" seven times, and plan on seeing it 3 more, at least.
