Hey, it's Star Wars, who cares about quality?

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 1999)

Under the impression that my view is somewhat superfluous, here is my short impression of SW1.
* Story: Since nobody has ever cared about strong stories in American movies, it's no surprise that the story in the movie is very very very very, very bad. It's better to expect a sequence of huge action scenes and then be surprised that there's any correlation between the scenes.
* Acting/Actors: Oops. Sorry. Not everybody is computer-simulated! So some real acting is needed. Shame that the nonhuman characters had the best performance. Can R2D2 and C3PO please get an Oscar? For the real actors: Is can't feel good losing from bunch of computers. Even young Skywalker was bad directed. The poor kid hardly cried when leaving his beloved mother.
* Special effects: Ooh. Good! Heavy! Wow! Very impressive. I just love shapeships going WOOOOOOOUUUUUUAAAAAAAHHHH when the pass. And the sound of the light-sabers!! Yeah! But, as I already mentioned, it sometimes feels as if you're in Toy Story. Tough it's extraordinary good, it's a bit too much. Some more depth in the characters and story would have been in place.
* Music: Best ever. There's no movie with a better score. I especially liked the sound of Darth Maul.
* Total: As a single film it's not really a great movie but hey, it's Star Wars so please please be quiet and go see it! Quick!
