Review title: The Worst Film of 1999
Product review: "The Phantom Menace" did little more than extend the box-office longevity of the "Star Wars" franchise. It is an empty, soulless film that lacks the spirit, adventure and human element that made the previous trilogy so memorable. George Lucas was so caught up in the digital technology and special effects that he thought little about story construction and character development. (If you blink, you'll miss Samuel L. Jackson - whose role is incredibly miniscule.) To make matters worse, Lucas sabotaged his own film with the obnoxious creation of Jar Jar Binks. The only memorable sequence in "Phantom Menace" is the pod race, which was ripped off from "Ben Hur" and "Viva Las Vegas" (I kid you not). For all the money it has made, this alleged film doesn't have an original, imaginative bone in its body. The next installment in the "Star Wars" saga has nowhere to go but up - especially if Lucas kills off Jar Jar Binks.
