Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace:

Here’s the DVD opening menus.

So, where do I begin… I do not like this film at all…ill get to why……so the plot of this movie is a mysterious sith figure is sent to hunt down and kill  Queen Amidala…..and the jedi have to protect her….Obi-Wan kenobi and Qui-Gon Jin…….Obi-Wan played by Ewan McGregor and Qui-Gon played by….Liam Neeson……ok now sense u have an idea what the plot is let me tell u why I hate this film…..ok well first off there is a character named Jar Jar Binks and he is so annoying….basically George Lucas wanted to make a character thats funny and meant for kids but instead he made a bumbling idiot who’s annoying…..so if ur wondering why Binks is staying around both the jedi…its because Jin saved him from being crushed by s tank….and that somehow equal a life debt…..when I heard that I was like…..nooooo!…..leave now!!….I don’t like jar jar nor will i…..and then there the fact that about 30 to 40 min in the middle of this 2 and a half hour film is them talking about politics and diplomacy…..yeah if that doesn’t sound interesting then it won’t be any better when watching it…..and oh yeah don’t get me started on the 40 min there on tatooine…..it was slow …..to put it lightly…..that whole scene was to introduce us to young Anny…..sigh….he was annoying….as well….then again Most child actors in Hollywood are……and he gets some cringy lines…..like when he first sees a woman named Padme….played by Natalie Portman……(BTW she’s the right hand woman of the queen…but spoiler alert she isn’t….see we later find out that …ok this is confusing so try keeping up….thr queen we see in this movie is a decoy and she’s played by Keira Knightley…..and Padme this whole time was the actual queen….but she decided to disguise as the servant…..its clever because the trade federation and a sith lord are after her) …..so yeah…..ok now tome for the good parts…..I really am a fan of Darth maul…..he was the best part of this film…he’s the secret sith apprentice that Darth sidious….sends out to kill the queen…..oh and Darth maul has a duel wielding Lightsaber…..its cool…..basically the last 40 or so min are awesome…except for the scenes that keep cutting back to jar jar being a bumbling moron…..ughhhh……so anyway…..last 49 min badass. .. scene on tatooine where maul attacks Jin….was a great scene as well….soundtrack is great and visuals is eh…well eh…..they used alot and I mean alot of CGI…..overall not my favorite film….im gonna give this film a solid  4.9/10…I did forget to mention that Samuel Jackson is in this movie he plays a jedi called Mace Windu…and he’s the only one with a purple lightsaber….I do like him because its god damn Samuel Jackson…
