Good but over-rated.

Rating: 1/10 (31 August 1999)

Frankly, I think "Star wars" is a great movie. It was in a way the first of its kind and was very impressive. However, I also believe that many people are turning this movie into one of the best of all-time for nothing. I don't remember having been hit by anything surprising except for the fact that everything was in space and that people lived in battle ships. If you ask me, I think "The return of the Jedi" was the best of the trilogy (I don't include the one that came out recently since I haven't seen it). However, I won't deny the fact that there is an incredible lot of imagination contained in this classic and that one of the reasons I probably enjoyed "The return of the Jedi" the most is because of some of the questions that remain unanswered and are answered in the sequel or the third. Some of the best scenes of the trilogy are in my opinion held in the first and if George Lucas hadn't invented the story that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father, "The Empire strikes back" and "The return of the Jedi" probably would not have been as good as the are. So all in all, "Star wars" is still the best of the trilogy and is a real must-see.
