Review of Star Wars (1977) by Nola(N)Brams R — 12 Sep 2015

It's Star Wars.

Nowadays many people, like me, would find this movie a bit to old-fashioned. But you got to think back how incredible it must have been to see this sci-fi film in the 70s. Imagine seeing the main title goes up and get stunned by the thrilling and touching music. Add the fascinating humor, spectacular action and one of the most inventive plots at the time; well that's Star Wars. It's not just a space-opera, it's a mysterious adventure of love, hatred, good, bad, etc that just happens to play out in space. All these characters, humans as robots, exist in this common universe, and interact in a way that I've never seen before in movie-history is what makes this movie just as epic as it is. Sure; it might not be so "wow" or high paced today, as in the 70s, but it's still one of the greatest original movies ever made. The story, the characters, the music, the villain, I mean everything is perfect! It's a magical ride in a world far far away.

Personal rating: 8.7/10.

Critical-rating: 9/10.
