One of the few films that deserves all its acclaim.

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2001)

I grew up knowing of Star Wars. Heck, who hasn't heard of Star Wars? I know I hadn't seen it until I was twelve, so I always wondered what all the noise was about, so I finally saw it. Oh...My...GAWD! To see a 70's movie only at the age of twelve that completely blew me away is only a one in a million experience. The special effects are still amazing by today's standards. everything done today is using CGI, but Star Wars manages to still be the one film that has the most jaw-dropping and groundbreaking visuals for any movie to date. there is more to the movie than the Visual Effects. Star Wars is still good enough to set the standards in today's filmmaking. It has an incredible sense of character, with enough in it to keep a person captivated after the tenth time watching it. The acting is exquisite, particularly Alec Guinness, playing the mysterious Obi-Wan Kenobi (he got an Oscar nomination for that role). Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fischer have great chemistry together. The true heroes in this tiny phenomenon are C-3PO and R2-D2, who provide the comic relief that every good movie must have. they are certainly more lovable than a certain blundering Gungan. Oh! And who can forget the deep, bone-chilling voice of James Earl Jones as the fearsome Darth Vader? Brimming with intensity from beginning to its climactic end, it isn't hard to see why this movie is loved by so many. Sorry everybody, but there is no way you will see another movie quite like this. To those who haven't seen it, see it. After that see the next installments to the most popular film series in movie history!
