i'm sure it was great when they saw it 22 years ago...

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 1999)

because of the new star wars movie hype, i decided to rent the original trilogy to watch it again. I recall watching it once on TV when i was 5 or so. I thought that the first episode was the worst of them all. They all were good, but this was the most pathetic one. The special effects really look dated, and the attempts at humor are cliched. Anyway, about the special effects, i guess they looked wonderful in 1977. But one thing is for sure: the effects were better in episodes V & VI. Another thing i didn't like about it, was that there weren't many different locations, it was all on Tatooine or on the Death Star. All in all , i thought this movie would be better, more adventure and action. The other two never let up in the action department.
