You were dumped straight into the action. And now the negatives : 1) The pacing was too fast in parts! The first half hour of the film just left me cold - you weren't led into the story. The Star Wars saga would lose much of its charm and intensity without Williams' scores. 4) The final sabre duel was quite fantastic : Darth Maul prowling up and down like a caged tiger was a particularly excellent touch - it added real tension and anticipation to the scene. 3) The Pod Race was exciting and amusing. Particularly Natalie Portman and Pernilla August. Firstly the good points : 1) The visuals are stunning - a lot of love and hard work has quite obviously gone into the effects and the people involved can quite rightly be proud of their work 2) All the performances by the main cast were good. Any movie that's made can always be improved upon but I feel that this SHOULD have been better. But as a movie fan, and judging it as I would any other movie, I frankly feel mildly disappointed. As a Star Wars fan I got what I expected - another chance to immerse myself in the Star Wars universe - a film whose sole purpose is essentially escapism. Well, after waiting 16 years for his next installment, George has given us "The Phantom Menace".
