On terms of sheer entertainment, the best movie ever!

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2000)

There are two main things that I base all movies on: Quality and Entertainment. On terms of quality Star Wars is second only to The Godfather, but entertainment-wise, Star Wars is by far the best movie ever made. If you want to see movie with action, suspense, drama, comedy, and basically anything else that movies can offer, see Star Wars by all means.
Here are what I consider the ten best things about Star Wars:
1: The Story- Lucas's screenplay will always be one of the best in movie history. Star Wars definately should have won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay! The story is utterly flawless and I will forever be in envy of Lucas.
2: The Charactors- In writing a brilliant story, Lucas also created some very colorful and memoriable charactors. Charactors that we can really relate to because they act so human (though several of them are not).
3: The Directing- Lucas is truely a great director as he showed with this and American Graffiti. In this film he successfully makes a movie that ultimately appeals to kids but still doesn't talk down to adults. He is also very capable of making the dramatic scenes dramatic, the comical scenes comical, and the suspensful scenes suspensful.
4: The Cast- Star Wars has one of the most unforgetable casts ever. The actors seem to work very well together and they have to in order to make their charactors work. The naive, heroic farmboy, the egotistical, gung-ho pilot, and the snobby, stuck-up princess, three people who have nothing in common must fight together to survive. The actors work with this very well.
5: The Music- JOHN WILLIAMS IS A MASTER!!! The music to this and all other Star Wars films is absolutely perfect! It truely captures the magic of the films and they would be lost without it.
6: The Special Effects- Like all effects-ladden extravagandas, Star Wars tries to have the most realistic looking special effects. But unlike some of the newer ones, Star Wars still focuses on story and doesn't just bombard us with one special effect after another.
7: The Sound Effects- Brilliant!
8: The Editing- Top-Notch!
9: The Droids- C-3PO is still the funniest charactor in the Star Wars universe.
10: The Outerspace Dogfight Finale- A great conclusion to a great movie.
Star Wars is truely a great example of a perfect movie. It's well-made and it's the best source of pure entertainment your ever likely to find.
I give 4 and a half stars out of 5 (Only one movie gets 5 stars and that's The Godfather. But Star Wars comes pretty damn close)
