May the Force be with you...

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2000)

This classic science fiction movie enforced the idea of the "summer blockbuster" that was created by Steven Spielberg's "Jaws" two years earlier. The story is very good, it includes many interesting aliens, locations, and spaceships. There is a wide range of incredible characters. Alec Guinness delivers a fantastic performance as the veteran Jedi Knight, Obi Wan Kenobi. This film also introduces one of cinema's greatest villains, Darth Vader, The Dark Lord of the Sith. The special effects are fair by today's standards. The music lives up to what you come to expect from John Williams. The score gives the movie that old fashioned, golden feel. Do yourself a favor and watch this classic.
