Review of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) by Marinade — 28 Jul 2019
The first episode in the prequel trilogy came with a lot of high expectations, unfortunately it failed to meet those expectations. The first 3/4 of this movie is not that great, the introduction of Jar Jar Binks is not well received.
The gungan city underwater scenes are strange and lets the story get carried away. The pod racing scene is alright, is exciting but it is just okay. What saved this movie for me is the Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon vs Darth Maul battle, this was amazing, so well done.
Duel of the Fates music to go along with it was the icing on the cake.
