Review of Star Wars (1977) by Michael W — 03 Jan 2016
Simple in story, but amazingly effective! There's so much homage to films of the past (not necessarily good films, but really fun ones!), while at it's heart it's the classic hero's journey.
It's formulaic, but done in a fresh and visually striking manner (in addition to a musically and emotionally striking manner). It's the cinema experience to experience. And the most recent Despecialized Edition (v2.
5 at the time of this review) does a wonderful job bringing back the original experience.
