I enjoyed seeing how Young Annakin Skywalker got his start. This movie answered many questions that I had. The fight scene with Darth Maul, Obi Wan and Qui Gon-Jinn is one of my favorites! However the acting of Natalie Portman was kind of bad.
First generation Star War fans often cry about Episode I not meeting their expectations...however, this is a family movie and the new generation of kids has thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It is designed to appeal to the entire family, and with this in mind I can live with the likes of Jar-Jar Binks! Kids need some funny parts after intense podraces, space battles and frightening Sith! Worth watching and worth keeping- just don't try to compare to the original trilogy. The Cons: This movie could have used some more character development and smarter dialogue. Even so- it is a great story. Obviously a must for any Star Wars fan. Darth Maul gives an epic lightsaber duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gonn Jinn. Enjoy!
I got just what i paid for which is why i like buying things on Ebays sister site, Half.com. I needed this one to complete the set and the great low price was just the thing to make it a great buy!!
Excellent. fast shipping, great condition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I highly recommend the 2 disc set, I love the extra stuff. Had to have it to finish my collection. Why is anikan so much younger than the queen here, but closer in age in the later movies?
This episode of the Star Wars series was great. Love the characters - all except Darth Maul - his appearance was just a little too over-the-top for us. I think his character would have been more believable if he hadn't been quite so typical-bright-red-devil colorful. Got "sold" on the Star Wars saga when hubby & I watched the "first" episode, which was actually part IV of the whole series. We'll never forget the dorky ending, but that was part of what made it so amazing to watch. Finally, a movie to be enjoyed without all the overt violence and horrible language and blatant sexuality of most movies of it's time. (Though that outfit the princess wore in eptisode V didn't hide much.) Easy to watch, good story telling, fantastic special effects, etc., etc., etc...
I loved this Star Wars. I had only seen the first ones, that came out years ago. My grandchildren were wild for them and suggested I watch. They were RIGHT !!!! Great....
ITs the same As the other ones that came out in 2001 and 2002, but with some major upgrades to graphics and sound effects. PLus there are some extras like the making and behind the sceans. But the same movie...
