Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Ratings & Reviews

Newsday
John Anderson
"Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace" got dismissive reviews in 1999, and it deserves the same today. But you probably know that.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Holleman
The movie is fun, for the most part, and several scenes are as good or better than anything Lucas created in the original films. The human characters, however, are not nearly as interesting as those in the earlier episodes.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
The dialogue isn't the issue; the acting isn't really the issue; nor is it any single annoying character... There's no sense of wonder. No yearning. No spirit.
Baltimore Sun
Ann Hornaday
Neeson and McGregor seem so focused on hitting their marks for the blue screen, that they barely make eye contact, let alone generate any genuine emotion.
Slant Magazine
Calum Marsh
It's difficult to discern precisely where this all went wrong, and even more difficult to speculate about possible improvements.
Movieline
Alison Willmore
The Phantom Menace, in any number of dimensions, is an exercise in disappointment, a film filled with enough callbacks to the first trilogy to remind you about what you loved about them without adding much of note in all the new material.
Nashville Scene
Noel Murray
If there's anything really disappointing about Episode I, it's not being able to line up for Episode 2 tomorrow.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
What I can't comprehend is why the political details had to be so tedious and abstract. Will the kids of our nation and the world truly be titillated by trade wars and the spectacle of a do-nothing Senate?
Slate
David Edelstein
Look, I wanted to love The Phantom Menace, too. I was an adolescent boy and would enjoy being one again for a couple of hours. But the movie has a way of deflating all but the most delusional of hopes.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Mr. Lucas is not without a certain technocratic sagacity, but I don't think he's communicating even with the young as astutely as he once did.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Character and personality take a back seat on this ride.
CinemaBlend
Katey Rich
The 3D conversion isn't going to change your opinion on the movie or give you a whole new moviegoing experience, but it's not bad either.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
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.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
It exactly has the same strengths and weaknesses as the original three, plus breathtakingly spectacular visual design and special effects.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Lucas at his visionary best and at his maddening worst.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
There are no romance, no humor, ultimately nobody to care about in this oddly sterile movie.
San Jose Mercury News
Julie Hinds
This isn't a film that will change history the way the first Star Wars did 22 years ago.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
It sustains the gee-whiz spirit of the series and offers a swashbuckling extragalactic getaway, creating illusions that are even more plausible than the kitchen-raiding raptors of Jurassic Park.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
[Lucas] ought to spend more time on story and less time crunching binaries.
