Review of Star Wars (1977) by Ryan T — 13 Jan 2018

This movie is a top contender for the most entertaining piece of art ever played in cinemas. From beginning to end, this movie presents the viewer with a universe audiences never imagined could be shown in such an entertaining and action packed way and with every watch it never fails to leave me with a sense of awe.

Each character, location, scene, piece of music, line of dialogue, and blaster bolt fired is extremely memorable and will forever remain an essential part of pop culture. For 1977, this movie was revolutionary for audiences that had never seen anything like it.

Sci Fi was a nearly dead genre, and this movie revived it. Sure, it has a relatively simple story, but I have never cared about something so simple more in my life. The main trio of actors, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher deliver spectacular performances as what would become three of the most well known cinema characters of all time.

Sir. Alec Guinness shines in this movie and is one of the last remnants of the Jedi order that we would not see in its prime for another twenty two years until "The Phantom Menace" and he gives an amazing performance.

Darth Vader, perhaps the best villain ever created for cinema, is a force to be reckoned with and rightfully so. This man is an absolute badass that strikes fear into the hearts of anyone that has the displeasure of looking him in the mask (that's why he is creepily looming in the background for the poster of the movie).

All characters aside, the special effects and graphics of this movie are absolutely phenomenal and blew the minds of viewers when it initially came out. If I said anymore, I'd simply be saying even more things that you already know.

If you haven't seen this movie, watch it. Now.
