Star Wars is back 70's style

Rating: 8/10 (19 May 2005)

All I can say about this movie is wow. I went to see the movie at 12:01 am on Thursday morning with my dad and friends. Needless to say we were all ecstatic. When this movie started it started with a bang. This movie will be known as the renewal of the great director George Lucas showing that he skills he had almost two decades ago. This movie will also be known as the most intensive action of the series. What this movie lacks just like Episodes I and II is dialogue and once again Natalie Portman and Hayden act like they are kissing manikins. The way all the actors are acting it's as if they are not flying through space on a rescue mission but on a studio sound stage in Australia. But the action scenes made up for about half of that. The other half was the shear thought of seeing Darth Vader. When I saw him come onto the screen I felt goose bumps start spreading all over my arms and the hair stand on end on my neck. I felt like I was five when I was first amazed by the arguably most famous villain in all of entertainment. Even my dad who was 20 when the original came out was amazed. He lost all faith from the last two but it warmed my heart when I saw his eyes glazed over during those magnificently choreographed scenes. He went to see Return of the Jedi at 12:00am on May 25, 1983 to see an ending to one of the greatest mythological stories of his and my generation. He has never forgotten that night for the past two decades and as I see the beginnings of that greatest mythology of my and his generation I have a feeling I'll share this experience with my son some two decades from now. Thank you master Jedi Lucas and as corny as it me be May the force be with you all.
