Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace: Entertaining, but not worth the wait

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 12:09:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Chad9976 - As my friend and fellow film critic Ted Prigge said in his review of "The Phantom Menace" - how the hell do I even write this review? Never mind the fact that I've been waiting for a new "Star Wars" movie since I was seven years old. Never mind the fact...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brentp256 - A long time ago… A long time ago George Lucas captured the imagination of a young boy, a boy who has been held captivated by the universe George created for over 30 years! In 1999 I had a chance to revisit that universe with Star Wars...

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace: Frustratingly flawed

Sat, 22 Dec 2007 15:05:06 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author robertseletsky - Any film awaited with the kind of hyped eagerness as THE PHANTOM MENACE (1999), George Lucas' first STAR WARS installment in sixteen years, would have had a hard time convincing audiences and critics. However, even given that, the film is a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the_mow - This is the beginning of the story which takes place "a long time ago -- in a galaxy far. far away." It is the start of a new trilogy of one of the most beloved science-fiction franchises ever. However, like the rest of this trilogy, this movie is not...

Sun, 20 Nov 2005 19:28:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author nicndere - "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." It is intriguing and famous line of Star Wars – now “The Phantom Menace.” George Lucas ("American Graffiti" 1973 and "THX 1138" 1971) brings his wonderful imagination to the big screen once...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hashpipe - It's plain and simple; Star Wars kicks butt! I mean, yeah, it's a little sad the 30 year olds who dress up like Jedi's and wait in line for ten months for tickets to whatever installment. But still, most people cannot deny the insane rush one feels when...

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace: It's sad when the best thing in the move is Jar Jar

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tommy_lop - Now I saw episode 1 about 6 years ago when it was playing in the local theater in my town. Anyways I thought it was ok but not great and I picked it up on VHS when it came out, Lucas was an idiot and decided to wait two years till releasing it on DVD...

Tue, 17 May 2005 17:39:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BaronSamedi3 - Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace confused me a bit at first. I understood the plot and all that, but some of the dialogue left me a bit confused. It was only after a series of repeated viewings that I finally understood what was off. Here is a...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jmaslinisahack - When it comes to summer blockbusters, it's sometimes necessary to plunge beneath the apple butter surface, straight down to the heart of arsenic. Take X-Men 2 for example. Erik Lencher, aka Magneto, is a bitter, mutated Jew, who, as a...

Mon, 11 Oct 2004 12:59:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jimcarrey3 - There are really two groups of people when it comes to the new Star Wars trilogy. People who like it and people who don't like it. There really isn't any between. I would happily include myself in the group of people who enjoy the new films, while most...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author basesurge - Normally I don't bother to write reviews of movies (or whatever) with this many reviews going before me unless I have something to get off my mind about them. Well, I have something to get off my mind about "Star Wars, Episode I, The Phantom Menace"...

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace: Dialogue Menaces a Masterful Prequel

Mon, 26 Jul 2004 22:19:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bilbopooh - For many years, I devoutly avoided Star Wars due to the traumatizing effects of seeing Han Solo frozen in carbonite at too tender an age. Thankfully, by high school I was well over my discomfort with the trilogy, so I could appreciate the excitement of...

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace: Effects Alone Do Not Make A Great Movie

Tue, 20 Jul 2004 04:00:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author evermail - Despite Jar-Jar and the kid from "Jingle All The Way" (yeah, he couldn't act in that one, either), "The Phantom Menace" is a pretty decent movie. In no way does it compare to "The Empire Strikes Back," but it does hold its own in the Star Wars mythology...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author alexdg1 - Although Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is supposedly, as most film critics and many fans have said since 1999, a disappointing prequel to perhaps the most popular film trilogy, I think it is an enjoyable and yes, even interesting "origins of"...

Mon, 31 May 2004 23:22:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author justal12 - Well, most of us waited over twenty years to see how it all started. And was it worth the wait? Sadly no. Since 1999 I have been asking myself, What went wrong? I just dont want to "cop out" and blame it all on Jar Jar (but he was sooo annoying!). Here's...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jackiechad - I hear so many bad things about episode 1, yet it’s still among the top movies of all time. Is it just coasting on the success of the original trilogy or is it not as good only when compared to its predecessors? It’s my least favorite of the 5 & I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author carl_lazarevic - The Phantom Menace was a film that had been planned since way back in the 70's, except that poor old Lucas wanted to take a break and spend some time with his family, awwe aint that nice? Noble intentions, to be sure, but it's hard for me not to...

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace: Yes It is Really That Bad!!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mighty7 - For the casual movie watcher, there is a lot done right with the Phantom Menace, for the actual Star Wars fan, there is much done wrong. 1999, which today seems so long ago, witnessed the release of The Phantom Menace to theaters. The movie was ridiculou...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author silentrascal - Like most, I too was looking ahead with great anticipation to the first Star Wars film in over 15 years, the first in a new trilogy and, again, like MANY, MANY Star Wars fans, I was vastly disappointed. But then again, with the enormous hype surrounding...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dominio - This movie is laughable. Whereas the other movies in the Star Wars series have been family movies in the best sense, interesting for both older and younger, this movie is focused towards children only. For older viewers the only attraction is the general...
