The best thing about Star Wars Episode 1:Phantom Menace was 3 things :
1 -The ships seemed so much cooler and technologically advanced compared to the ships in the future (Episodes 4 -6)
2 -They used robotic soldiers but downgraded to human storm troopers in episodes 4-6
3 -They got a Scotsman- Ewan McGregor, to play the part of Obi Wan, who was originally played by an Englishman - Alec Guinness

Despite this I enjoyed the film and can't wait for the next episodes.

Lucas wrote the basic story ages ago, that rough outline would be considered a "Plot". However the film "Script" would have been used to make the film, and may have even been slightly adjusted as the film was being made.

I stand by my claims that StarWars Episode 1 is a glorified Toy Commercial.

Didnt George Lucas write the Episode 1 script before the original trilogy was even out?? I always thought he did!!

The merchandise I admit a lot of it is tack but you come to expect that nowadays. Look at Pokemon and how big that was - There is still no escaping poke merchandise!! Companies always jump on the bandwagon whenever the next big thing comes along because they know us mugs will fork out for it thus making a lot of money in the process!!

I would have to agree with you Ant, Episode I was great and keeps getting better the more I watch it. I cant think of anything that even comes close, apart from the original trilogy of course!!

How was the plot written by 'toy developers'?? George Lucas wrote it ages ago!!

Also, the Pod Race is a wicked part of the movie, and videogames weren't very big at all back when Lucas wrote all the SW movies.

And who cares if there's rubbish merchandise?

The originals are good, but I prefered Ep 1.

Proof, go down to poundland and count the amount of rubbish merchandise! The script was written by Toy manufacturers and the pod race is only in the film because of videogame!

Watch the original starwars films theyre great.

The only good thing in episode one was Natalie Portman, and thats sad because she was underage at the time.

Hey, The Phantom Menace was excellent!!

How can you say it's terrible without any real proof??

And if anyone uses the reason, "Jar-Jar was annoying," I will scream.

The Pod Race was great and the lightsabre battle at the end was SUPERB!!

It had a good plot, and-

Well, I can;t be bothered. I'll just POP my review of it back to the TOP.

What are you guys talking about, Episode One was a Travesty. As for the Pod Racing Scene, well that was 5 -10 minutes of my life completely wasted it wasnt even excited because we knew they had to win! Besides it was obviously only in the film so that a "StarWars Pod Racer" videogame could be made. Im sure the game was being programmed before that part of the film was even filmed. Its disgusting, eeurrrggghh

As for the best part of the film...mmmm....

Double Lightsaber..

A Pitty Darth Maul wasn't very evil though!
