"When The Phantom Menace was announced, fan frenzy began and anticipation soared high. They were all let down when it was released. The story begins hence when two jedi knights encounter a young boy who may bring balance to the ‘Force’, as they prepare to face off against the long dormant Sith who seek to reclaim their old glory. Lucas brings out the worst side of the Star Wars saga, the commercial side, and little of the original creativity that had had such a long lasting effect and received neverending love from the fans. In reality, it is relatively entertaining, but its childishness and propensity for obviousness does little to forgive its existence."
