Star Wars is still a lot of fun

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2002)

Growing up Star Wars was one of my favorite films and even as
an adult I'm still in awe of it. The film is far from perfect, the performances are uneven, the dialogue is cheesy and Lucas' direction is not particularly good. However, even with all these flaws the movie is a lot of fun. Unlike The Phantom Menace or
Attack of the Clones, the original Star Wars has a larger than life feel to it. The movie unfolds like a genuine epic and despite Mark Hamill's bad performance, it's easy to relate to the character of Luke Skywalker. Not to mention that Peter Cushing makes for one terrific villain.
