Review of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) by Davenbettridge — 13 Oct 2011

Metachlorines, Jar Jar Binks, Jake Lloyd, under developed characters, over reliance on special effects, awkward story pacing and weak acting - there will never be another movie more anticipated to then be so disappointing.

Critics who claim that there isnt some 'entertainment value' in this movie are not being honest but the Phantom Menace is mediocre, is the biggest missed opportunity in movie history, and people who think its a good movie are uncritically minded fan boys.

With the privilege of making a movie comes the responsibility of making a good one, a responsibility to which has George failed.
