George Lucas' classic sci-fi fairy tale.

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2000)

Of course everybody has seen it so it's kind of unnecessairy for me to summarize. I'd like to speak my mind on this movie. I've always found it to be very entertaining and very well constructed (certainly it deserves praise for the groundbreaking visual effects). I find it fascinating and rather surprising however, that so many people name it as their all-time favourite. I've always preferred Star Trek, i think it's better thought out (it was also earlier established i might add). Special effects are better with Star Wars of course, but that shouldn't be the driving force of a movie. Nonetheless i like Star Wars and i hope Lucas learns from his mistakes with episode 1. Maybe he should watch this one a couple of times more.
