Another New Hope

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 1999)

I went to this film not knowing what to expect - I didn't want to be overwhelmed as to expect too much, so instead I decided to just expect a Star Wars movie - and that is exactly what I got. It very much lived up to the previous films and set a new standard for them - it is a different generation and different things are happening. I will not talk of the end in case people are reading this before seeing it - but I felt it somewhat predictable. Natalie Portman was excellent, and young Jake Llyod did very well for taking on such a valiant role as the ill-fated Anakin Skywalker. All in all this was an excellent film and those who are fans I implore you to watch it [there are many inside jokes to be accounted for], and for those who are not - you will learn to fall in love with the magic that is Star Wars.
