6) Can we have less of the mindless gaffes that occur in the final battle scenes (You know the ones that save the day!) Its an insult to the audience's intelligence (In a full theatre I swear I didn't see a single soul who looked under sixteen! - has George forgotten about the original fans).
5) What's with the biological exposition on the Force! Was that necessary? The first three films pointed to links between the Force and genetics but I don't need tiresome cold scientific explanations as to the Force's origin, thank you very much! It just ruins the mystique. It just shows a lack of imagination! 4) Not enough Darth Maul. 3) Why did they make Jar-Jar so incomprehensible? I found myself becoming annoyed at having to strain to understand his nonsensical utterings! (Having said that, he wasn't as annoying as I'd been led to expect) Why George used easily identifiable racial accents for his alien characters completely puzzled me. The final sabre duel lacked emotional involvement as a consequence. And the final sabre duel (good as it was) would have been infinitely better had the relationship between Qui-Gon and Obi Wan been explored past the mere mentor-apprentice motif. Who is Obi Wan? After seeing the film I'm none the wiser.

For example, Obi Wan had nothing to do or say throughout the movie except flash his light sabre around from time-to-time. However there still was not enough character development in the film as a whole.
I finally got a chance to get to know the characters. 2) The film only truly started for me on reaching Tatooine. On paper I'm sure the first half hour looked fantastic but I found myself sitting in the theatre going - 'hey, great special effect shot there!' I wasn't involved in the story and the scenes lacked tension and danger. You were dumped straight into the action. And now the negatives : 1) The pacing was too fast in parts! The first half hour of the film just left me cold - you weren't led into the story. The Star Wars saga would lose much of its charm and intensity without Williams' scores. 4) The final sabre duel was quite fantastic : Darth Maul prowling up and down like a caged tiger was a particularly excellent touch - it added real tension and anticipation to the scene.
3) The Pod Race was exciting and amusing. Particularly Natalie Portman and Pernilla August. Firstly the good points : 1) The visuals are stunning - a lot of love and hard work has quite obviously gone into the effects and the people involved can quite rightly be proud of their work 2) All the performances by the main cast were good. Any movie that's made can always be improved upon but I feel that this SHOULD have been better. But as a movie fan, and judging it as I would any other movie, I frankly feel mildly disappointed. As a Star Wars fan I got what I expected - another chance to immerse myself in the Star Wars universe - a film whose sole purpose is essentially escapism. Well, after waiting 16 years for his next installment, George has given us "The Phantom Menace".
