Rename it "Episode I"

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2002)

Let's forget Phantom Menace was ever made and call this one "Episode I". Ewan and Natalie acted MUCH better in this one, it actually had some great action scenes and Jar Jar Binks wasn't in it very much. Haydn Christensen was a revelation. After that annoying brat in Ep I, it's nice to see the good/evil struggle in Anakin. Haydn did really well with some horrible dialogue and I really felt he could become Darth Vader. His speech after the Tuscan raiders massacre was cold and perfectly delivered. Perhaps it was just me, but some of the shadow shots of Anakin even made him look like Darth Vader. Much better and I'm actually looking forward to Ep III now.
