This movie has a lot of good and bad. I saw this when I was a kid and I had the vhs so I watched this countless times.

Good: Qui-Gon Jinn, I would of loved to see Liam Neeson play him again and try and become a grey jedi. The last lightsaber battle, still one of the best in the series. Darth Maul, he may not have much of a back story but he still is a bad ass villain. Pod racing, its fun and I enjoyed the scene.

Bad: Obviously Jar Jar and all the gungans, man I forgot how annoying he is. Bad CGI, it is a little forgivable for the time but it doesn't hold up well. Pacing, it can be a boring at times and the editing can take away from the better scenes.

Overall a decent intro to the series, I wouldn't show this first to someone who has never seen Star Wars, start with A New Hope.
