Characters I cared about would have been nice.

Rating: 1/10 (7 June 1999)

I'm a huge fan of the original, but Phantom Menace seemed to me a cold, uninvolving picture about its own special effects. I didn't care about any of the characters, if you can call them characters. Anakin Skywalker didn't seem to have any of the fear or anger he should have, and the Jedi knights have nothing to say. As for Jar Jar Binks ... must KILL.
