Pros: Just about everything.
Cons: Explosions in space should be silent; you can see through a few special effects.

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Not a one.
As I was cleaning out the area underneath my entertainment center the other day, I happened across an unopened original Star Wars trilogy boxed set. Given to me as a gift some years back, I had totally forgotten about it. It was with an almost giddy ...

Pros: Come on, it's entertainment already
Cons: Don't be so trivial
or “A Mighty Fortress is Our God”
It’s been over twenty-three years since the release of George Lucas’s “Star Wars—Episode IV: A New Hope” in 1977. I remember seeing this for the first time with a bunch of my Northwestern fraternity buddies...

Pros: Lack of Yoda doesn't mean it's in any way bad
Cons: Lack of Yoda
It was a pleasure and an honor for me to be asked to interview the Ultimate Jedi Master, Yoda, recently. Unfortunately, since I was slated to write a review of the original Star Wars movie, I couldn’t ask the questions I wanted to relating to Episode ...

Pros: James Earl Jones and Sir Alec Guinness
Cons: Shallow, tedious, B O R I N G plot
When I was younger, the original Star Wars: A New Hope was among those films I avoided with a prejudice. I had seen it once, and never understood why everyone held it so dear to heart. I remember it being at least a half hour too long, with boring...

Pros: Characters. Plot. Icons.
Cons: Whiny Luke!
Observing Star Wars at the age of 20 almost makes me wish that I hadn't watched it so many times since I was 9. Have the repeat viewings tainted my objectivity? Will my innate love for the characters cause me to lend the film a higher rating than ...

by hellfudge , Jun 18 '05
Pros: Action, visual originality, universal appeal, simply a great movie.
Cons: Bad dialogue, some of the acting.
This is a review of the original 1977 release, not the special edition or the DVD. A cultural phenomenon. A modern mythology. A timeless classic. All of these phrases seem to pop up again and again in summaries of George Lucas' 1977 sci-fi epic ...

Pros: Umm.. I'm still thinking
Cons: Too many to list
Many consider this film to be a masterpiece. Ever since its debut people have felt that it deserved a high note of recognition. I on the other hand felt that this movie should have been cast out as one of the worst movies of all time, yes it was that...

Pros: Groundbreaking Science Fiction/ Action-Adventure film. Good plotting. SFX hold up well.
Cons: Cheesy dialog. A little on the lightweight side sometimes. Enough revision, already!
There aren't too many movies, or any other works of popular culture for that matter, that have left a bigger stamp on the landscape of modern thinking than "Star Wars". "The Godfather", sure; ...

Pros: it's a great old movie
Cons: not has much eye candy will turn away young pups
Well I wasn’t around in 1976 when Star Wars was first released, I wasn’t born for another 6 years after that. But it was really big for a movie that was supposed to flop and had to be helped by Fox in order to get into any theaters by putting it ...

Pros: Characters, Acting, Effects, Philosophy
Cons: Plot is pretty predictable
Every now and then, I find myself ready to review something relatively new and wanting to reference another work, but then discovering that the thing I'm looking to reference is something I never reviewed. As I wrote my review of "Blue Harvest" ...

Pros: Groundbreaking, fun, and inspiring
Cons: nothing, absolutely nothing whatsoever
I can’t believe it! Finally, FINALLY, Star Wars is available on DVD! I’m such a geek I took a whole day off work just to watch the trilogy. Since there is SOOO much I want to say about each movie I decided to review each one individually then write a ...
