Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It does the job just fine. That job, as director George Lucas freely admits, is quite simply to thrill the beating hearts and the inquiring minds of 12-year-old boys.

rotten:
There are no romance, no humor, ultimately nobody to care about in this oddly sterile movie.

fresh:
Despite a shaky start and the presence of questionable elements throughout, by the time it arrives at its finale The Phantom Menace has won its place alongside the original Star Wars trilogy.

rotten:
You realize how much humor Harrison Ford brought to things; without him, at times the movie itself feels frozen in Carbonite.

rotten:
"Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace" got dismissive reviews in 1999, and it deserves the same today. But you probably know that.
