One of the best movies of all time!

Rating: 9/10 (18 April 2004)

In my personal opinion this is one of the best Science-Fiction movies ever made. What makes it so good is the wonderful combination of story, special effects, music, etc.
What makes a good science-fiction, according to me, is a movie that combines the fiction, with amazing action, enjoyable comedy and good drama. Star Wars has all these key elements in its story. And even more, it develops the characters very well, I can't tell how exactly, because it would be a spoiler, but trust me, watch it and you'll find it out for yourself.
The special effects used in Star Wars were one of the best for the time, and still manage to convince me even now when computer graphics have developed so much.
The music, well, what else can expect from John Williams? His 41 oscar nominations are not coincident. One of the things Star Wars is most associated with is the music. It's just great quality sci-fi movie music.
Although overall I liked the movie, I find it kind of slow. It seems like a lot more could have happened in the two hours the movie runs, but since it's the first in the saga, I think it can be forgiven.
Overall, I give it 9/10.
