Overall - 3.5 out of 4 stars Wonderful movie!

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 1999)

I thought the movie was very entertaining and well worth the admission price. The second time I saw it I liked it a lot more than the first viewing. Even Jar Jar was more tolerable.
Great parts: All the Darth Maul scenes (great character who should have been used more), Pod Race scene, Awesome special effects, and the Introduction of all the old favorites like R2D2 and C3PO was a treat, and the Soundtrack and Costumes were first rate!
Lousy parts: Jar Jar scenes....well most of them. He became more tolerable as the movie progressed. But PLEASE don't bring him back in Episode 2. Without Jar Jar the movie would easily have pulled in 600 million at the box-office. I'd say 98% of the folks who have seen the film can't stand him. Even kids think he's annoying!
Use R2D2 and C3PO more in Episode 2. I vote to eliminate Jar Jar from the next one completely. Anyone else feel that way?
Overall...fun movie experience. Best movie of the summer so far.
