A Very Underrated Movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 2002)

This movie is extremely underrated. I mean I know its not perfect but its not that flawed. The acting ranges from fair to good. Liam Neeson, Ray Park, and Ewan Mcgregor were good. Jake Lloyd was sometimes good and sometimes annoying, but this was the first little kid ever in a Star Wars movie, give him some credit. Natalie Portman gives an ok performance. The script has a few problems. The dialogue is flat in areas.
However, this movie does not lack action. Theres plenty of action with state of the art visual effects. In my opinion, I like Star Wars and the Phantom Menace are about the same. Star Wars was a little slow in areas. Phantom Menace was not slow at all. Some people complain that there is too many visual effects, but the last Star Wars movies had really fake effects. So far I think that Episode I and II are better than IV and V. My rating for Episode I and star Wars are about the same. But I like Clones better than Empire. Only because Empire was so boring. I think Episode I is better than II, because that love story was pretty bad, but I really liked II. I liked the Third one the best out of the original trilogy. If Episode III is not good at all, than i will like the original trilogy better.
