An indiscriminatingly terrible, exorbitantly silly, unimaginably inept, and mind-numbingly disgraceful bit of trash that has the right to be included among the most exceedingly awful barbarities in the Star Wars universe. The primary entry of George Lucas’ prequel set of three and fourth entry in the Star Wars adventure denotes its maker’s re-visitation of filmmaking following a 22-year rest and shows that the film world was obviously better off without his executive sources of info. 

 

Set thirty years before A New Hope, the story of The Phantom Menace follows two Jedi Knights who are sent to a planet to end an interplanetary exchange debate yet when that self-destructs, they escape from their unfriendly circumstance to caution the Queen and wind up finding a small kid who displays natural forces of the Force and could be the so-called chosen one. In the interim, an evil Sith makes his essence felt. 

 

From Director George Lucas, the absolute first misstep he made was that he totally overlooked who the intended interest group of his prequel set of three truly was. It was the individuals who made Star Wars such a pivotal transformation of now is the ideal time, who in the spending years had grown up a little and were likely anticipating a marginally more developed or mature take in the wake of hanging tight for such a long time. What Lucas produces rather is an unimaginably adolescent piece of trash loaded up with irritating characters and lazy CGI. 

 

Lucas went through many years trusting that the filmmaking innovation will progress to his necessary level to understand his prequel set of three in the film canvas according to his vision. Yet on the off chance that he’d spent even a fraction of that time in refining the content and characters, The Phantom Menace would’ve been a much fair film. Pretty much nothing works here and what makes it significantly more agonizing to endure is the irritating arrangement of characters occupying it. The plot is essentially missing and loaded up with individuals you simply don’t care the slightest bit about. 

 

And afterward, there’s the cast of Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, and others. Aside from Ewan McGregor, the others convey really empty exhibitions. Albeit acting never was this present establishment’s most grounded suit, it’s a disgrace to see such entertainers playing such vacant, ridiculous characters. The main explanation behind the prequel set of three to exist, according to Lucas, was to give a backstory to the first set of three’s most famous figure while the characters its fans really experienced passionate feelings for and needed to see a greater amount of are totally sidelined or missing, which doesn’t support its motivation. 

 

Its visualizations may have been cutting edge stuff at its season of delivery yet it has just crumbled throughout the long term and now it looks clearly trash. Essentially every grouping is loaded up with unusual-looking animals for Lucas goes horrendously priggish about his shabby creative mind here yet his first component in more than twenty years is excessively adolescent and silly to have any legitimacy. Its over two hours of runtime isn’t defended either for the entire film is only one weak section after another and each endeavor at humor basically self-destructs. 

 

Overall, The Phantom Menace will consistently be paramount for the extremely valuable reaction it evoked from the lifelong fanatics of the first Star Wars set of three. To see their considerable delay being compensated with such a detestable, sickening, and nauseating part is without a doubt diverting. Loaded up with only trash, the main watchable scene in The Phantom Menace is that brief lightsaber duel close to the end. Other than that, it’s simply a below mediocre ride.
