Star Wars Episode 1:The Phantom Menace 1999: A little complicated

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 12:00:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wish99 - I have to admit that I've only seen the first three Star Wars movies a few times and I've even had a hard time following what's going on in those, though I pretty much have it figured out.

My husband was dying to see Phantom Menace so we...

Star Wars Episode 1:The Phantom Menace 1999: Have Faith in the Force

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 14:25:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twiggy123 - This movie, to me anyway, is an example of just how magical a movie can be. I first saw this movie the night it came out at the midnight show, before the rest of the world. I bought my ticket in advance, and waited in line for three hours before it...

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 15:25:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ravenspike - This film is almost as pathetic as I, who paid to see it twice in the theatre then bought this dung on video. I can't say why I did exactly, I recognized the badness of this film in the theatre, both times. And yet I cannot stop myself, I am a fan and...

Star Wars Episode 1:The Phantom Menace 1999: Star Wars: Do you feel the force?

Thu, 22 Jun 2000 02:40:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author beavis612 - I have seen the first one and all the rest about a million times but I would have to say that this is probably in the middle of my favorite Star Wars films.

Sure, George Lucas had millions of dollars backing up this title with sound effects...

Wed, 24 May 2000 15:09:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author moruth_doole - The prequel to the world famous Star Wars trilogy surpasses just about every movie that has ever been made. The plot is very deep, and many first time viewers may not "get" the plot. As any hardcore Star Wars fan will tell you, the entire...

Thu, 11 May 2000 14:24:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kasan_moor - This movie is, for lack of a better word, great! It was so cool to see Jedi in their prime doing all sorts of moves I've only dreamed about. It was also nice to see Coruscant, the planet I've read so much about in the Star Wars books. I also liked seeing...

Wed, 10 May 2000 23:37:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author g_l_o_v_e_r - I have always enjoyed a good movie. And this is definitely a good movie. I won't say that this is the best movie ever, because it is not.

But it is very, very close.

Okay, Jake Lloyd's performance may have been a little wooden, but Ewan...

Wed, 10 May 2000 02:55:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bthbob - Okay, so it's not as good as the classic trilogy. But that's a given.

The pacing is a little off, the dialogue is terrible, and every time I hear Anakin say "starship" I cringe. But the people who hate this film don't realize that...

Tue, 9 May 2000 19:45:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tierce - George Lucas is an absolutely amazing story teller. He creates so many characters and he makes you care about them in a very short time. He also makes you sad whenever a truly beloved character dies.

Star Wars Episode 1, The Phantom Menace, is yet...

Star Wars Episode 1:The Phantom Menace 1999: Legacy turns to dust

Mon, 8 May 2000 15:29:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Crazycritic - I won't deny that the first three Star Wars movies were pretty darn good, but Episode 1 certainly has trouble living up to their standards. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it immensely. Though I'll sound like a fool for saying so, I liked Jar Jar...

Star Wars Episode 1:The Phantom Menace 1999: Not as good as the original movies

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author SimonCook - Having been a young lad when Star Wars originally came out, I was very excited at the prospect of seeing a new Star Wars movie, hoping to relive some of the excitement of my childhood memories of the original.

The story centers on a young boy,...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tmn516 - I was one of the first in line to see the original Star Wars when it first came out as a kid. They were great they made me laugh, they made me sit on the edge of my seat and they made me crazy until the next one came out. They were the best.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author evilghost - It took 16 years but finally, George Lucas has brought us the much anticipated Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 02:43:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Neohawk - In American culture, "Star Wars" is a summation of all that we hold dear. Few in our nation recognize the importance that it holds to American society, American ethos, and American heritage. The "Star Wars" Saga is to American...

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 05:46:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author seedspeed - It's easy to pick on STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE. Why? Because the first three STAR WARS films have become such a part of our modern mythology that each of us has some idea or opinion on what this movie should be like. The fact that 15 years...

Star Wars Episode 1:The Phantom Menace 1999: Oh, it's a menace, all right...

Tue, 18 Apr 2000 19:07:39 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Captain_Plaid - This film is no good. There I said it. Once you get past the hype, the hype and, oh yes, the HYPE, you don't really have much of anything left.

It seems the whole plot is built around the shipping industry. (The great UPS wars???) Trying...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Daystorm - Computers have started to kill movies.

Some suffer a screaming, agonizing, but relatively quick death.

Others refuse to go quietly into the night, creating horrible nightmare creatures to haunt us in the dark of sleep.

Sun, 16 Apr 2000 06:16:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author AudioRico - OK, OK, fine. Lots of people hate this movie... Why? Probably because they're a bunch of cynical, sarcastic, "ohh...if-it-isn't-an-indie-flick-and-it-grosses-more-than-100-million-bucks-it's-a-sell-out" type of viewer. Hey, guess what? In...

Sat, 15 Apr 2000 13:52:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jaysonrun - I have heard all the arguments against Episode 1: the acting is bad, the Jar Jar Binks is annoying and a distraction, the plot is convoluted, racial stereotypes are perpetuated.

I don’t think anybody would argue that Episode 1 is not full of...

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 13:10:44 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Kerowyn - I went to see this movie because my husband and I are die-hard Star Wars fans, and we weren't disappointed. The movie was geared in the direction of kids/pre-teens, but it was still a lot of fun. Although the movie has been criticized for having too much...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Cynthia411 - I rented the Phantom Menace last weekend, only because my husband wanted to see it. I had no desire to see it since I never really watched the other ones. I do know who the main characters are from watching brief moments of the other Star Wars Movies. I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JayNeric - Yes I am one of those Star Wars freaks people make fun of. Yes I waited in line for hours to purchase my ticket and again waited to get the best seat in the house. I was also one of the 4 people that had shown up at the local Kay Bee Toys for the...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tpao67 - First let me explain that I am not a die-hard Star Wars fan, but my children and husband are. We all went to see this movie the day it came out as a treat for my then 7 year old daughter for doing so well in school. Since we live in a small town, the...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Bluesmama - Star Wars Episode One was completely ruined by the hype! I sat there for the entire movie just thinking "This is it?! This is all I get?! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!" Jake Lloyd was cute but that was the only thing I liked about the movie! Dont waste...
