Rating: 7.5/10.

Pros:

+Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor are the best parts of the movie.

+The special effects in this movie looks really impressive for a movie released at its time.

+The podracing scene took me on the edge of my seat.

+The Jedi battle scene makes me feel like I want to be a Jedi Knight!

Neutral:

.The plot is very interesting. However, it’s not engaging enough as it feels like it’s more of a set up for the next two movies of the prequel trilogy of Star Wars.

Cons:

-The acting of young Anakin Skywalker. Just terrible. It’s really hard to root for Anakin Skywalker because of this.

-Jar Jar Binks went from an interesting character to the most annoying character real quick. His comic relief humor is just terrible and unnecessary.
