Best of Star Wars !!!

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2001)

It's hard to understand tastes of american people, especially if you are living in Ukraine. I still can't understand the "greatness" of episodes 4, 5 and 6. It's not even a science fiction really, it's just a comics, filled with GREAT soundtrack ! I'm quote George Lucas : " The sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie". OK, that's right , but only in HIS movies !!! I must say that entertaining in episodes 4,5,6 are sound and music at 95% ! The Phantom Menace is the best from Star Wars - it has strong perfomances ( Liam Neeson, Jake Lloyd and Pernilla August ), beautiful cinematography, excellent special effects and GREAT music by John Williams ( as always ). It also has weak script and VERY WEAK direction by Lucas ( as always ), but these things don't stop me from seeing this TALE again and again only to hear that genius music. Ratings : soundtrack - no words, only emotions !!! Movie - 8 out of 10.
