Probably the best of the series

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2000)

I for one was not as impressed with Phantom Menace as what everyone else was, and to attempt to compare it to the original Star Wars blockbuster is to compare chalk with cheese.
This film highlights the ability of one person with vision to manifest something remarkable that has, for twenty years now, defined the way movies (and their soundtracks) have been made.
This movie begins in a period where a civil war is occurring between the Galactic Empire and..............man....you know the rest

It will be too easy to say what is good about this film........what is bad about it?
If you try real hard you might be able to find something, possibly the lightsaber duel could have been better, but that would possibly be about it. What is easier to do is to compare it with Phantom menace and basically say what is better about it than its well........pretty woeful counterpart. Story, acting etc.....
The problem with making a star wars film nowadays, apart from the ludicrous expectations being put upon Lucas and co, is the fact that any actor, especially those in minor roles, will be trying to make as much an attempt as possible to highlight the fact that they are in a Star Wars film. It was obvious with the pod race scene in Phantom menace, the crowd members were practically cheering TO THE CAMERA!!!!!!! And dont get me started on Samuel L Jackson.............even Yoda wanted to make sure he got his fair share in

Basically you cant say anything about this film expect that it is possibly THE greatest film ever made.
