fun but vastly overrated

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2009)

The original Star Wars remains a fun film, and its easy to understand the sense of nostalgia many viewers get when they re watch the film. Still its vastly overrated in my humble opinion. The story is simplicity itself, and is a bit slow to start. Gradually the plot develops finally ending in a rousing final battle. Harrison Ford remains the star of the show, and without his magnetic presence, the film would lose a lot of its appeal. There's also Darth Vader who remains an iconic villain to this day. George Lucas updated the Special Effects in the re-issue of Star Wars. This helps a lot as the original Effects have dated considerably.
Overall 7/10
