Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is better than you remember.
Battle droids, podracers, Jar Jar, Darth Maul, and all of the Episode I goodness !
The film also holds a special, nostalgic place in my heart.
This is outstanding (even if flawed) blockbuster popcorn Sci-Fi .
I enjoy this movie. Always have. Has its problems, but the highs outweigh the lows !
The Phantom Menace's score is consistently good and adds to the ambiance of every scene.
Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor are excellent.
Action is handled with flair
, like the opening 10 minutes and the pod race, have the old Star Wars feel!
Natalie Portman's portrayal of Padmé was a remarkable blend of grace, strength, and vulnerability, making her a standout presence in the Star Wars universe.
The Phantom Menace will always be vital to film history. Regardless of how anyone feels about its quality, it was an incredibly epic FX work from a genuine auteur who sought to do things never before seen in blockbuster cinema. 8/10.
