This was the best prequel out of them all. But it just wasn't interesting knowing that these effects are from our time and could be used in any... . And there is no reason for some scenes and characters...but it was still a good movie and was highly entertained. Full Review

Not a masterpiece, but it's an example of how imagination, craftsmanship, and technological bravura can fashion superior entertainment out of something that is far from flawless.Full Review

It's up to snuff. It sustains the gee-whiz spirit of the series.Full Review

Let the killjoys squawk. Lucas has proved he has the Naboos to pull it off again. And again. And again.Full Review

Despite a shaky start and the presence of questionable elements throughout, by the time it arrives at its finale -- which copies Return Of The Jedi's triple-climax structure -- The Phantom Menace has won its place alongside the original Star Wars trilogy.Full Review
