Review of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) by The%20 S — 24 Jun 2017

This movie exceeded my every expectation. Any one who doesn't enjoy it, is now an enemy of the Republic. The political subtleties gave an more in depth experience as to how the galaxy ended up in turmoil in the original trilogy.

The serious undertones from the less overt dialog gave the impression of the impeding doom for the Jedi, they could sense the dark side approaching, but could do nothing to stop it. Jar jar was not meant for a bunch of over-grown toddlers projecting their nostalgia from the original trilogy, he was meant for actual toddlers to enjoy, which they did.

This movie sets the stage for the entire galaxy of the Star Wars universe in a way I've never seen in another franchise. I'd give this movie as many stars as Anakin has midi-chlorians, off the charts.

Thank you George for revitalizing this dearly beloved franchise, and have a moee moee bombad day!
