I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

No doubt about it, Star Wars: Episode 1 is a cinematic masterpiece. This film will live on as one of the most important/influential pieces of art of our time. I can't help but cry as little Annie wins the pod race and is freed from his life as a slave. The depth of the characters such as Jar Jar Binks, Captain Pancake, Boss Nass etc... these characters are so freakin deep that they reach the center of the earth! This film perfectly compliments and is a powerful addition to the previous films. I can't say enough about this film! The music, sword fights, acting, sound design,, the list could go on. This film is perfect in everyway. Some people seem to think that characters such as the beloved Jar Jar are annoying. These people (to put it simply) are wrong, because they are. Answer me this, did you not laugh when Binks boi stumbled around like an idiot? When Jar Jar steps in the pile of $h*t? When Qui Go grabs Jar Jar's tongue and is all like don't do that again and it's just like hahadjahgauahhshahha. I mean come on!? George Lucas' humour is ON POINT. Anyways... that's all I got to say about that.

A film that makes all previously conceived "masterpieces" of cinema to look like garbage by comparison. Gripping story, unforgettable characters and dialogue that puts Quentin Tarantino to shame. Truly, an unappreciated gem, don't listen to the haters. Flawless, and a MUST WATCH for true fans

This is a movie that can make you enjoy the two hours if you wish to relax but has limited in the scope and creativity. Few elements seemed to be logically inconsistent. The winning of Anakin in the Podrace after earlier failing to even complete the race; the killing of the sith at the hands of the Jedi as a sudden when once both were overpowered. Also Anakin destroying the entire mission in one go- these all seem to be superflous. There is a little attempt at creativity like the different characters and the storyline are somewhat interesting that take you into looking for the next parts. The training of Anakin would be worth watching.

Almost impossible to watch this garbage. No acting, annoying characters, poor dialogs, incomprehensible and blatantly stupid story that destroys minute by minute what George Lucas achieved in original trilogy. Almost feels as the story was written by an imbecile. And for imbeciles. The entire enterprise shows perfectly what happens, when the only goal of production is to maximize profit. And sell of overpriced toys. For me, it is mind blowing, how people can fall for this plastic toys advertising campaign. This isn't even a B-movie. It would be seriously unfair to B-movies - put this rubbish in the same category. On the positive side? Well... Lucas no longer directs or writes - saving us from similar experiences.
