not disappointed......

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 1999)

George Lucas takes a new brand of Star wars and uses it to shove two fingers up at the critics. The film is superb, breathtaking scenery, an interesting storyline and best of all, a red and black dude with a double sided lightsabre!!! Darth Maul almost surpasses Vader as the best baddie of all time and its a pity there isn't more of him. McGregor is brilliant in a difficult role and you will never see a better action sequence than the pod racing. If you don't like this film, you should be kept in a small room with padded walls. ROLL ON EPISODE TWO!!!!
