Intergalactic rubbish

Rating: 1/10 (23 May 2001)

Who hasn't heard about the "legendary" first Star Wars Film (now changed to Part 4 in the Star Wars series)? Who doesn't know the characters Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker or Han Solo? I am sure, hardly anyone doesn't. Despite these facts, I was surprised how bad this film was. Sure, you can't expect the SFX to be as good as in EPISODE I-III, but how about a plot? What about characters or good actors? The whole story occurs to me as just an introduction to the sequels. Why is there such an enormous cult about this crappy little SF-flick? I am not a trekkie, but I prefer every STAR TREK-film by far to this terrible no-brainer. The 8-best movie of all time? Nope, my Rating: 3 out of 10.
