Just as Great as the Originals.

As in many of my other reviews, I shall start by saying that if you have a problem with the new movies, whether it be acting, directing, ect; and you only like the "Old School" Star Wars, then you are no Star Wars Fan. As a true fan I love all the movies. Phantom is filled with action and starts the series with a huge KABOOM! There are no continuity problems and it explains much that was not told in the original three. This just as Episodes II, III, IV, V, & VI is a masterpiece and should not be under rated just because you are over critical. If anyone has any questions about the movie or my review just email me at RevanFormVII@yahoo.com. I am willing to answer any questions to make this the most helpful review you have ever read.

May the Force be with you,

A great story told in a captivating manner

This first episode of the Star Wars saga is a magnificant achievement. The pace is brisk, the detailed imagining of alien worlds and peoples is incredible. Special effects are the best that exist. And it includes homages/allusions to many other science fiction/fantasy classics. This is moviemaking at its best.

Besides Return my least favorite.

Besides Return Of The Jedi this is my least favorite episode and here's why. Jar Jar Binks. A character who has no purpose other than to annoy the heck out of everyone who was wanting more Jedi Sith time onscreen. Also the storyline was not the best. The whole Gungan thing to me was not needed. Darth Maul was not used well. And I wasn't crazy about the whole midiclorian thing. The movie just took too long to get going.

Now the good. The casting was great to me. Ewan Mcgregor was the perfect choice to show us a younger Obi Wan Kenobi. Natalie Portman was good as well. Liam Neeson, Ian MaDiarmid were good as well. My favorite casting was Ray Park as Darth Maul. In the movie when the jedi are trying to return the queen to her throne and the door opens up to show us Darth Maul standing there waiting to kick some butt everyone in the movie theater had that look on their face like oh hell yeah. The whole movie we are waiting the see the Jedi in their prime and battle some Sith and we get it good.Besides the fight between Obi and Ani in Ep 3 this is my favorite fight scene.

Do I like the movie? Yes. It could have been alot better though. Take away Jar Jar Binks from the first three movies and the Ewoks from the last one and the movies would have been perfect.

Long live Star Wars.
