Ray Park is given virtually nothing to do as Darth Maul, the supposed villain here. But he's no villain. He's an imitation of a villain. Ian McDiarmid tries his best, but again, he's not given enough time on screen. The Phantom Menace is rated PG for sci-fi action and violence.
Nothing is offensive, and the film is quite suitable for all ages.
After 16 years of waiting, it will be hard for fans to realize that the film is a major disaster, and they will more than likely be adamant in their belief that the film is superb. There are people who will hate it extremely, and there are people who will love it extremely. I don't necessarily hate the film, but it is a very bad one, and I hate Lucas for making us wait all these years for it. You would think that amount of time would give anyone to perfect the story. He obviously didn't, and the result is this muddled mess.
