Wow

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 1999)

When I see this movie again I will make a better and longer review for it. I went to the premiere showing of this movie. The movie was great wild ride. The Special Effects were better then anything before. The Computer Generated characters actually looked convincing unlike the earlier attempts. The ships were computer generated just like in Babylon 5 but done well enough that it looks like the technology used before. (Models) With the computer technology of today George Lucas can imaginative and breath taking worlds, some thing he could not do as well in the original trilogy. The story follows two Jedi warriors and their discovery of Anakin Skywalker. In addition to getting Queen Amidala to a planet that is one large city. So she can talk to the Senate about the Trade Federation's invasion of her world. I don't want to tell too much because I have a habit of saying too much. I didn't find Jar Jar Binks to be as annoying as everyone else claims because I actually found his jokes and mishaps to be funny. Darth Maul didn't have the commanding presence of Darth Vader but he sure did look demoniac and cool. They should have given him more screen time. The movie is entertaining, imaginative, fun and worth the full price. The Original Trilogy is still the best, this movie doesn't quite manage to bet Episode 4-6, they did have better and more exciting plots, despite the fact the special effects in Episode 1 are far better.
