Review of Star Wars (1977) by Ricky G — 05 Sep 2015
Star Wars a film I finally got around to seeing is...... Not really good.
First, I saw the original 1977 version not the awful special edition.
Okay lets look at the positives first... Set design, Sound effects, Art Direction, Prop Building, Action sequences and Soundtrack top notch.
Negatives... The acting is really bad in some sections gezz... The direction's a little off, The editing is incredibly jarring and WMM like with its crazy cross dissolves, The writing and not necessarily the story but the dialogue is really bad making the characters one dimensional and there is some pacing issues like introducing Luke's character, he's just there.
Possibly due to the cultural phenomenon, popularity, lore and nostalgia is the reason this film is so beloved. I wish I liked it :/ but I honestly prefer Spaceballs.
