A review by NeoBrowser

Written by NeoBrowser on 20 Jul, 2013

If it were the first "Star Wars" movie, "The Phantom Menace" would be hailed as a visionary breakthrough. But this is the fourth movie of the famous series, and we think we know the territory; many of the early reviews have been blase, paying lip service to the visuals and wondering why the characte...

A review by CharlesTheBold

Written by CharlesTheBold on 17 Mar, 2017

Frankly, this film is terrible, and the producers were obviously banking on the original Star Wars coming back all excited, and didn't bother come up with a good story. What's wrong? Well -- (1) The virtuous Obiwan Kenobi talks an admiring young boy to participate in a dangerous race so tha...

Upon damaging their vessel, they find...

It introduced Maul though, who is my favourite _Star Wars_ character. So points on that one. _Final ...

A huge drop off the original trilogy. I still like it, mind. I do have split feelings about 'Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace' though. One positive is the casting, which is well done. Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor are strong choices to enter the franchise, I enjoyed both of...

Written by sykobanana on 09 May, 2021

So I watched this at a midnight screening when it was released (the first time midnight screenings happened...). The blast of horns for John Willams' score occurred and the title scrawl happened, droidikas appeared - I had a buzz going. But that buzz got less and less as the film wore on. Ja...
