A great movie.

Rating: 6/10 (21 June 2001)

I wouldn't say it's THE great movie, but it's the best sci-fi out there.
When I first saw this on the big screen, it was shocking. Just a jolt of
fun after a decade of heavy handed social dramas that were good
(serpico) but hardly whiz bang! Star Wars is a swashbuckling sword epic
that had the audience cheering and yelling, like a ride at Disneyland.
Say what you will for how it affected the Box Office and how studio
heads now look at summer films- it most likely ruined it for all of us
for a long time, as now they all want HUGE OPENING NUMBERS and saddle us
with bloated "blockbusters" such as PEARL HARBOR, but Star Wars had/has
a spirit and a life to it that is wonderful to behold. Get it on DVD,
you'll have a ball
