Running time: 136 mins.
Rating:★★
Two Jedi knights, Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), escape a hostile blockage to find allies and come across a young boy, Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd), who may bring balance to the Force, but the long dormant Sith resurface to reclaim their old glory.
Although, it may have been George Lucas to make the films that would lead up to the trilogy, we have come to love, this one is completely hokey and trying too hard to be "cool." It was almost as if Lucas was having a childish tantrum that the computer technology/graphics or whatever weren't available back when he made the trilogy, so he's tries to make up for it in this film. The rules of the power of the Force are too over the top and doesn't seem to stay true to old rules from the trilogy. Ja-Ja Binks character should have been deleted and destroyed. Star Wars is not suppose to be intended for just a child-based audience, but whatever.
The performances by Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, and Natalie Portman are spectacular! But that shouldn't come to any surprise.
