A Classic for the Future. A true masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 1999)

I'll put it to you all very plainly. Episode I was by far the second greatest Star Wars movie ever. Only three things could have killed it. 1. Jar Jar Binks. A true plague that has been placed upon the TRUE fans of the series. Hopefully he will be dealt with severely in Episode II.
2. Queen Amidala. He dialog was poor and her acting was not as good as it could have been. I have seen her act way better than that.
And finally...
3. The Script! By far one of the worst that has ever been developed! I have seen B movies with better scripts! I hope George doesn't write the next one. Give it to someone who could produce a Silence of the Lambs or Schindler's List quality script.
The Lightsaber duel was by far the best. Ray Park was a master at work. Ian McDiarmid was agin perfectly cast as Supreme Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious. He is a really under-rated actor. Liam Neeson was the man. Definate Oscar role for him here. And finally..Ewan McGregor. By far the perfect choice for Obi-Wan.
All in All.........10/10. I hope Episode II hurries up!
