While a thrilling experience on its initial multiplex release, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is one of those movies which fails the `second viewing' test. No matter how good the pod race sequence is, and no matter how tightly choreographed the three-way light saber battle of the climax, it's not enough to balance out the stilted acting, plodding narrative and the ever-irritating Jar Jar.
