Star Wars Episode 1 was one of the most anticipated movies ever made. It is a highly underrated movie despite great acting by Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor to name a few. The movie also has great special effects, and tons of interesting characters. These also some great scenes like the fight scene where Obi Wan and Qui-Gon Jin face Darth Maul, and of course the pod race. It also has a great villain in Darth Maul. This film has also been bashed by many critics and fans despite a great musical score. Many critics don't understand how great this movie really is but some do like Roger Ebert who gave this movie 3 and a half stars. This movie is only given a 6.4 rating by IMDb despite these factors. Epsidoe 1 deserves a higher rating for its great visuals, and acting but it was rightfully nominated for three Oscars for its brilliance. This movie is also number five on the highest grossing U.S. movies ever made list. Epsidoe 1 deserves more praise for the masterpiece it is and I give it a 9.0 out of 10.
