When I was a young lass of 11, Star Wars was released to the world. Those of you who know me and have read my reviews probably are figuring that I am a sci-fi geek-ette anyway so of course I headed out to see it. You are wrong. For ...
Pros: Great visuals, action, score Cons: Pretty hard to fault
Star Wars (1977) A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... I watched Star Wars for the first time in a movie theater in 1977 and remember thinking - how far movies have sunk since the great old movies ...
Pros: Full of action, humour, characters you can care about... Cons: ... very few...
This isnt going to quite be a normal film review because after all what would be the point of yet another film review of a film most people have seen several times and thats been reviewed so many times already? So Im going to do ...
Pros: Simple story that's applicable to many situations--groundworks of modern myth. Cons: Luke Skywalker is a whiny li'l Jedi...but that's a good place to start from
I saw first saw this when I was 4 years old. Somewhat impressionable age, right? Well, that first moviegoing experience (the first movie I remember seeing in the theatre) broke something in my soft little skull that made me LOVE Star Wars. I became a...
Pros: Groundbreaking effects, cleverly developped characters and storyline Cons: Flawless
When I went to see The Phantom Menace in 1999, I was instantly reminded of the brilliance of the 1977 original. I was in the theater; the movie opened with the now legendary tagline: “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away …” ...
Pros: Cast; story; characters; humor; score Cons: Are you kidding? I even love the low-budget special effects.
Last night I watched Star Wars. Yes, that Star Wars. Episode 4: A New Hope. The story that started the whole saga. The original George Lucas space opera that came to the big screen in 1977 and wowed most of us into awed silence in the ...
Pros: Its mix of space/fantasy, great score, fun story, and memorable characters and lines Cons: It's hokey, sure, and it's no "Lord of the Rings"...but we love it anyway.
It's been over a quarter century since George Lucas (THX 1138, American Graffiti) first shared Star Wars with millions of awestruck moviegoers in the late spring of 1977. Both the director and the studio executives at 20th Century Fox ...
Pros: A classic, groundbreaking film that sparked the imagination of the world. Cons: The acting and the script aint all that good.
What in the hell am I doing? I might as well be reviewing the bible! Nothing I say will change any minds about this movie, nothing I bring to the table hasnt been said over and over and over again a thousand times by people way smarter than I. Every ...
Pros: Amazing characters, exotic aliens, bizarre locales, and lots and lots of fun. Cons: None here.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a young kid threw off the shackles of his everyday existence and took his first steps into a larger world. I'm not talking about Luke Skywalker, however, instead I'm talking about, well, me. The "long time ...
Pros: the first (or fourth) chapter of the archetypal space saga Cons: those who aren't sci-fi enthusiasts tend to bunch it together with Star Trek
I've been a Trekkie for as long as I can remember, and I got razzed a lot for it during grade school. One time, members of our class were asked to make crafts for the graduating seniors which would be presented at their banquet/roast. Our art teacher ...
George Lucas's most famous work to date would have to be on the directors Star Wars saga, a series of films that has permeated popular culture to produce a fan base so devout it has literally become a religion to some. However why is this? ...
Pros:
Great pacing, good special effects, engaging Cons:
dialog and acting
This is the movie that started it all. In fact, it was made by George Lucas assuming that he would not have the opportunity to make any more movies. Because of this he took the Death Star from movie six and added it to this movie. He also made a ...
Pros: The power of faith overides fear. Cons: The "Force" may offend some Christians.
Ever since Star Wars was originally released in the movie theaters decades ago, it has been one of my all-time favorite movies. Perhaps the main reason for this is that the idea of a "Force" that can not be seen but controls everything sound a...
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, is perhaps the most influencial movie of all time, at least in the science fiction genre. Watching this film is almost a rite of passage, as older generations remember this with fondness, and the youth of today ...
Pros: Takes me to a very special place Cons:Mark Hammy.. excuse me, sorry Hamill
If you think picking Star Wars for my “Quotes” W/O is the easy option, wait ‘til you see my next entry Life is hard sometimes. You work and work, but get little or no recognition, your love life is fixed in the future but you can’t ...
