A long time ago in distant America, George Lucas came to the conclusion that after the phenomenal parts of saga IV-VI time to show how it all began.
The world was ready to trust, because the Internet did not prosper so much among people in the world (I did not have one) and many reviews appeared in newspapers or film magazines a few days or weeks after the premiere.
I was one of those people who did not wait with bated breath for the new part of the Trilogy. One day my brother got a VHS cassette with the movie Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace.
In my opinion it was a very well made film we meet a young Skywalker who likes racing and creating robots.
We as viewers do not realize that in a few parts the mighty Darth Vader will grow out of him, but in the first part nothing indicated that. Obi Wan Kenobi also appears, who decides to teach Anakin to become a Jedi Knight because he has great power.
Qui Gon Jinna, who taught the arts to Obi Wan, is also an episodic role in the film. The film is gentle, but it has the darkness from part IV. Of course, there is also the main opponent, which is Darth Maul, who I personally consider to be one of the worse characters of the SW universe.
Movie focuses on Anakin's teenage years and how he tries to get good, while the dark side of the knights covers the congress more and more and Princess Padme is in danger.
The film is good, looking at how the director spoiled the later parts, here are the effects and the whole story is quite coherent and the idiocy can be swallowed (maybe apart from Jar Jar Binks, it was the most irritatingly comedic character in the whole universe).
After a reasonably good one, he started to create a script on his knee and you want to erase each part from your memory.
One is good, a lot is happening here, and the computer effects, although they are, are done correctly.
The film is also a kind of flood of movie stars, we have Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman, Samuel L Jackson, Ewan McGregor, Sofia Coppola and many others here.
Despite 22 years of age, the film is worth watching, and if you have a VCR, I encourage you to watch the VHS version, but the atmosphere from the VHS tape is much better and somehow you can get involved in stories from a distant galaxy.
(Trailer) The film was made in 1999 and set a record for the Box Office opening in the US for a long time no film was able to break that record.I rate the film at 7/10 because we get to know interesting stories and get younger versions of the heroes we know, and it is the only film from the new trilogy that has a meaningful plot and a lot is happening here.
