Star Wars - Episode I, The Phantom Menace (Widescreen Edition) description "I have a bad feeling about this," says the young Obi-Wan Kenobi (played by Ewan McGregor) in Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace as he steps off a spaceship and into the most anticipated cinematic event... well, ever. He might as well be speaking for the legions of fans of the original episodes in the Star Wars saga who can't he ... review details |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Huge Star Wars fan.... wildly disappointed. |
| So, this review is long-overdue, and I'm sure it's been said before:
Why did Mr. Lucas have to take, what started out as a well acted, fun series, and prequel it with this garbage? First of all, I should say that Liam Neeson and Ewan McGreggor were excellent in this film. Darth Maul was an ultra cool villain. The graphics were quite cool, and probably cutting edge. However... 1) Jar Jar Binks might be one of the biggest mistakes in recent memory. I think GL was trying to recapture a Chewbacca-like character..... but FAILED MISERABLY. AWFUL. It actually polluted the entire movie for me - I felt like I was watching a made-for-TV Disney kids movie. Hideous mistake. 2) Darth Maul had the potential of being a GREAT foe, for the duration of the movie. Instead, he engages in a couple of really great fights, then gets killed. 3) Instead of seeing more of Darth Maul, we are forced to suffer through the cutsy-wootsy little Anakin Skywalker. Yes, establish his innocence, before his turn to the dark side, but really..... it was too much. 4) The droids were absolutely unbelievable. Their speech was unrealistic, and they occasionally seemed to have a sense of humor that was like watching two computer geeks talk to each other. It seems like they tried to stick to the sterotype of how a robot might work, but then threw in a cute little spin to it - - - it made them unbelievable. 5) What's with all the racial stereotyping? The alien guys that look like fish have unaltered Asian accents? Why? Why does the water-going rastafarian-wannabe Jar Jar Binks have a Jamaican accent? Why do the Jedi's have british accents? It looks like GL spent too much time wanting accents, and not enough time working them out. It's kind of offensive. In conclusion, if it weren't for Jar Jar Binks, this movie would be quite worthy of the Star Wars name. If it weren't for all the hype about this super-villain, Darth Maul (who was so easily dispatched), when the movie came out, it would be far cooler. This movie isn't worthy of the Star Wars name. |
