One Of The Best Movies Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (11 September 2014)

I'll admit from the start of this review that I am bias. 'Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope' is in my top 10 movies of all time. The score is also one of my favourite soundtracks. I love it.
The story is filled with the standard elements, good versus evil, a damsel in distress, a bunch of people threw together by circumstance end up as Heroes, a daring rescue, the orphan farm boy who dreams of a more exciting life, the returning hero who returns just in the nick of time to save the day, they are all here. but the movie is anything but standard.
The likable cast is headed by Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford wearing a "I'm only in this for the money" grin, Carrie Fisher and Alex Guiness
I can't praise the cast of this movie enough here. The casting is spot on. Everybody is perfect.
John Williams score is another valuable asset to the movie too.
All this and I have not even mentioned light sabres lovable droids and a Death Star.
The highest grossing movie of 1977 'Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope' is quite simply one of the best movies ever made.
