Brilliant piece of film as art...

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 1999)

There just are not enough superlatives to describe the latest edition in the Star Wars saga.
YES, Jar Jar Binks is annoying but he is supposed to be.
Hugh Quarshie as Captain Panaka is more than a little wooden and stilted but adequate.
The foreshadowing in Anakin Skywalkers' home when he says "No one can kill a Jedi." is truly chilling. Out of the mouths of babes...
This IS a special effects movie but how else can you have an army of tens of thousands of android soldiers without special effects -- it was brilliantly done.
Of course the pod race is on the-edge-of-your-seat thrilling -- just as it should be.
All in all, this is a movie for the history books and I MUST see it again.
