Unsurpassed

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2006)

Without a doubt Star Wars is, for me, the best film ever made. From the opening scene of the film to the closing credits, Lucas's epic space saga had me riveted as a 7 year old child and still does today as a 35 year old. Star Wars is storytelling at it's greatest. Brilliant characters and amazing settings. Good versus evil, right versus wrong. For it's day, the special effects were unbelievably spectacular and totally groundbreaking. I could watch this film over and over again and never get bored and I do. This is a film that everyone should see at least once. Without the following 2 sequels and the 3 prequels that form the entire series, Star Wars can easily stand alone head and shoulders above any other film, ever made. Added to the other 5 episodes, a legendary tale is created. The one, the only Star Wars. A#1, cream of the crop, best of the best. **********/**********
