I think it is a kind of movie to watch for many reasons: the story have some ideas about the future where the technology would be so evolved, the orchestra soundtracks is awesome, good actors performances, scenes effects and quite funny develops. |

Despite how expansive and intricate the Star Wars universe has become, the original film will always hold an inimitable spirit of adventure and freshness. From the introduction of such iconic characters as Darth Vader and Han Solo to its use of practical effects and models to create some of the more exciting action sequences, Star Wars still holds up as an exciting, sometimes funny, and always entertaining sci-fi epic. This is the franchise at its most unadulterated - before it got bogged down by too much CGI and alien races. |

Epic, funny, overly positive( but maybe that makes it just better), beautiful,so many imaginative locations with so many great characters that you can make films about each of them and all that in 2 hours. Perfect entertainment. You can watch it over and over again.
It's sad that today superheroes films are so popular , they are so boring and can never be as good as star wars. |

Fun, but overrated |
|
Star Wars and I have a past. When I was a young lad I absolutely loved Star Wars, not just the films but the phenomenon. I owned the Star Wars toys; I read the Star Wars books and, of course, saw all of the prequels in the theater.
I loved, and still love, Star Wars the world. It is a fun and all encompassing world filled with alien’s history and action, and it is always fun to totally immerse you in a world. That is part of the appeal of many of the most famous movie series (and video game series as well), they are more then just movies they are worlds all unto themselves.
Now that out of the way, here comes the punch; the part you aren’t going to like: the original Star Wars trilogy is not only one of the most overrated film series of all time, but one of the most overrated ... |

"Star Wars" by Yojimbo |
|
There are three Star Wars films. Star Wars is a magical rollercoaster ride of fun and excitement, populated with charming characters you actually CARE about, who have believable relationships in a fairytale universe of good and evil. Star Wars is my first movie love, and no matter how many times I see it (surely a dozen by now) I am still transformed into an eight year old boy for it's two hour duration. Star Wars is NOT a bloated, computer generated toy commercial vomited onto the screen by a beardy old fat bloke's ego. The "updated" version actually points to where the prequels were going to go so horribly wrong. The added fancy CG is distracting and unnecessary, and Lucas manages to neuter Han Solo nearly as soon as he appears by making a couple of amendments that completely miss the p... |

The Force Will Be With You... Always |
|
I am an unabashed Star Wars fan - who knew that when you mix science fiction, mythological archetypes and Akira Kurosawa into one film, you can spawn an entire legion of geeks to your side?
Now is Star Wars perfect? No. Luke whines like a five-year-old who doesn't get any candy, the lightsaber effects are still in their infancy and dialogue (never a strong point for George Lucas) isn't exactly Shakespeare - however, despite the faults, there is absolutely no doubt this is one of the best sci-fi films out there.
Lucas took a gamble, but it paid off. The effects (the original, not the CGI extras they added) look amazing even though most of it is models and costumes. The Death Star trench run became an instant classic and is probably the most iconic image from the film. The casting, es... |
