Pretty Good!

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2010)

I think this movie is pretty good but I also think it's somewhat overrated. I did not think it was good as some people claim it to be. I'm sure this was a masterpiece in 1977 but in today's day and age in film making, this is just an ordinary science fiction movie. This movie is better than the first prequel though.
This movie focuses on Luke and Leia and the rest of the rebellion as they try to defeat Darth Vader and the Empire. Also Luke and Obi-Wan befriends the cocky Han Solo, the navigator of the Millennium Falcon.
The acting is pretty good. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher were solid. Of course I recognized the voice of James Earl Jones. Sir Alec Guinness is on par with Ewan McGregor from the prequels.
The droids once again provided some humor. The special effects were not that good compared to the standards of today. I loved the themes by John Williams.
Overall, this is a pretty good movie though not the best in the Star Wars series. I rate this film 8/10.
