A perfect example of a sci-fi classic

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2012)

Before I begin this review, I want to say that I've never heard of this film or the others... until... one day... when I stumbled upon it both on television and on a video copy, I said to myself in amazement, "Wow. What a great film it is." I do agree with the others that this is indeed one of the best movies in the history of Hollywood. I love how it took the science fiction genre to the next level in cinema history and it's done really well. That's why I'm giving this a solid 100% for being an epitome of brilliance from George Lucas himself.
It has no flaws at all which is a good thing because it's redeemed by it's pros that made it a masterpiece for all time. The story is very original and has a great concept. The direction from Lucas is excellent and I like how it moves along very nicely at the 2 hour length. The action sequences are great especially the flight sequences at the Battle at the Death Star scene, but the strongest aspect goes to the acting and the special effects. Mark Hamill, Alec Guiness, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher did their roles as the brave and bold Luke Skywalker, the tough and cocky Harrison Ford, the beautiful and rebellious Princess Leia and the wise Obi-Wan (or Ben) Kenobi while James Earl Jones did excellent as the menacing Darth Vader with a deep booming voice.
Overall, Star Wars (or Star Wars IV: A New Hope) will always be recommended to others as one of the best films in cinema history. Thank you George Lucas. With your charm and brilliance, this deserves a thumbs up from me!
