They also encounter Jar Jar Binks (Ahmed Best), a goofy, lizardlike creature who has been banished from his underwater world for clumsiness. When the Trade Federation launches an attack on Naboo, the queen and her alli...

Smells Like Teen Spirit

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2000
The Bottom Line: If you want a better movie, you best lower your expectations first.
Review: Although it was successful at the box office, Star Wars, Episode One: The Phantom Menace was a disappointing film with few admirable aspects. $110 million bucks worth of CGI both helped and hurt the film. Jar Jar Binks and Jake Lloyd practically...

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace And So the Star Wars Story Begins

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2000
The Bottom Line: The start of the Star Wars mythology begins here.
Review: I better say something about Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace before I lose my nerve again. I usually don't habour any preconceptions or expectations before watching a movie, but it was really hard to do so with Episode I. After all, this is...

Nobody Liked Jar-Jar
3/5 stars
It was sort of a let down for hardcore fans. Maybe it's because George Lucas actually wrote this one himself.
