Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace is a good prequel to the Skywalker Saga but lacks the action that Star Wars movies should have. Two Jedi Knights escape a hostile blockade to find allies and come across a young boy who may bring balance to the Force, but the long dormant Sith resurface to claim their old glory.

It has great visual effects and this prequel really shows how they met Anakin Skywalker. This film is the Star Wars film that people were really waiting for so that's why it got over a billion at the box office. My favourite scene is when Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi fight Darth Maul because that scene has the most action. My only problem with this movie is that it doesn't have enough Star Wars action, compared to the other films. The film is a great movie for the whole family to enjoy. I would recommend this film to Star Wars fan who have not yet seen the prequels.

Grade B+.
