Review:
Tim: George Lucas crafted one of the greatest movies of all time in Star Wars. The importance of this film in the annals of movie history cannot be overstated. This is a classic science fiction film which changed the landscape of movies for all time.
Star Wars is an amazing film. It is still the hold standard for sci-fi action movies. It featured revolutionary special effects, and tells a timeless tale. It is exciting, action-packed, and memorable.
Mark Hamill is outstanding as Luke Skywalker. He is one of so many iconic figures in this movie. Harrison Ford steals almost every scene as the gruff Han Solo. Carrie Fisher adds in a good performance as Leia. Perhaps the most outstanding performance is by Alec Guinness as the wise and mysterious Ob-Wan Kenobi.
The film features one of the all-time greatest villains in Darth Vader. He is, without a doubt, one of the top ten villains to ever grace the silver screen. Everything about the character is chilling and unforgettable.
Star Wars is an iconic, class, landmark film that should be seen by every person who claims they love movies. This is the outstanding movie that started it all.
