Nice family entertainment, not new, but fascinating nevertheless.

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 1999)

I am 16 and have never seen a Star Wars movie in my life. I was just never into space-films. My boyfriend persuaded me to watch this movie with him, and to my surprise I really enjoyed it. The story is fascinating, the special effects are on par with the high standards modern movie-goers expect. All in all, this was a nice film, not brilliant, not memorable, but entertaining. The characters are classic, the villains are as evil as can be, the heroes look like real mommy's boys. I was pleasantly surprised. Most impressive bits? THOSE LIGHTSABERS! WHooSH! I want one!
