I received the VHS of this one when I was about 9 or 10, I watched at the time but I didn't recalled much of anything so it's almost like I never watched it before. I was totally not into the Star Wars universe (actually I wasn't until I finally start watching the films a couple of days ago) so at the time for me it was just another action film that entertained me for a while. Now after all this years I see that it doesn't surprise me, once again it entertained me for sure but it lacks the charm and the brilliance of Episode IV, V and VI.
It's interesting and strange that sometimes I felt like I wasn't watching a Star Wars film but one inspired in the Star Wars saga. There's a lot of holes in the story, things that I would like to have seen explained. The new characters that are introduced don't glow at all, it's almost like they came from nowhere and from the beginning until the end I didn't feel any simpathy for them. The special effects are sometimes very poor and I would like to have seen real creatures like in the other films, not computer generated animals that looked odd.
Unfortunately Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is not very engaging and it turns out to be just a piece of entertainment.
