Movie Review: 'Star Wars' rages again in 3D With 'The Phantom Menace'
Submitted by Sam Bauman on Sat, 02/11/2012 - 5:28pmI was busy some other place when "Star Wars, The Phantom Menace" opened in 1999. Lucky me.

And for all those Star Wars fans, and they know who they are, you won't want to miss it; though you can see the release without 3D and you won't be missing much.
