Better the second time

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 1999)

I saw "The Phantom menace" twice in the same day. The first time I expected a movie equal if not better than the original trilogy. I was disappointed.
The second time around I viewed the movie as a separate entity from the original trilogy. If you view it that way then it is a great movie. Remove the "Star Wars" tag and think of it as another sci-fi movie and "The Phantom Menace" will live in your memory. My advice to anyone seeing the movie is to view it this way and not compare it with the other "Star Wars" tagged movies.
