Star Wars Episode I--Continuing the Genious!

Star Wars is a great movie, filled with great action and special effects, but there was always something missing... That void is now filled with Star Wars Episode I...Important questions like, who was Darth Vader before he turned to the dark side, and where did the story begin, are answered in great detail in this prelude to the original series.None of the technical marvels of the original has been compensated either. Lucas has done a great job of including lots of action, adventure, special effects, and animation... The new character JarJar is hillarious, I laughed at him the entire time. His humor, however, does not overpower the overall action of this movie.If you are a Star Wars fan, then this is definitely the movie for you! I got this movie last Christmas, and have seen it many times over since then. This movie will answer your questions, while continuing to amaze you with Lucas's continued creativity and genious!

A disappointing film in a disappointing format

This is the kind of film best viewed only once, as it's really designed with eye-candy lovers in mind and once you've seen the special effects there's nothing else of interest.This prequel to the Star Wars saga isn't a patch on the other three films. The CGI special effects are very nice, yes, and it was good to see that title sequence again after all these years, not to mention the odd cameos by characters such as Yoda and Jabba the Hutt. But films today are sadly about money, not entertainment. The large varities of aliens are included in this film merely to sell models, the pod race is intended to sell a video game and the whole thing reeks of commercialism. Yes, alright, so there are some famous actors, but why are they there if they're not even given a chance to actualy act? Added to that is the fact that the two Jedi knights sleepwalk through the whole thing.There are some good moments, true. The Emporer-to-be is a wonderfully scheming character and Darth Maul is effective, though it's rather a shame he is underused.Some might say that this film shouldn't be too dark or sinister. But surely it shouldn't be on the level of a cartoon. There is far too much comic relief, most of the aliens are the Muppets relived and the underwater 'fish eaten by bigger fish eaten by still bigger fish' sequence is straight out of a Monty Python sketch.Hopefully Part 2 will be an improvement. It can hardly be much worse.

Great as always!

Nothing more can be said about the best movies ever made: Just Fantastic! For those of you who did not live at the time of the original releases, the only thing I can say to you is: Bad for you, as you missed the whole great experience! Extra documentary DVD is also an awesome piece of work.

Good DVD for an OK Film

Well, I received a copy of this DVD for Christmas, and I must admit I enjoyed all the many extras such as the extended pod race, the documentary, and so on. But it's still the same mediocre film, clearly designed from the start with marketing toys to 10 year olds rather than paying homage to a wonderful series of films. Now it's been said that Lucas intentioanlly made the first film a light one, in anticipation of the much more darker films to follow. That's fine with me, but the problems still continue to leap out at me evry time I watch it. It's clear Darth Maul is a professional swordsman (which is why he has little dialogue), unfortunatly it becomes all to clear in the fight scenes that this guy could easily take out our heroes in about 3 seconds. Midiclorians??? Why in God's name does Hollywood think we need an actual explanation for the force? It was the force's mystical and unknown qualities that made the first films special in the first place. And don't even get me started with Jar Jar. It's quite possible this film could have been right up there with the others were it not for him. Let's hope the second installment gets the story back on track.
