Star Wars

Saw this obviously as part of a Star Wars marathon. Still great.

 

I'm still rather pissed by the changes in the special edition. The horrible CGI looks even more obvious then when I last saw it.

Watched it for the first time in two years.  Still magical.  Doesn't look like a film that's 40 years old.

Star wars to you guys is what ID4 was to me.

Agreed.  I think it affected me so much that when I get a tattoo it is going to be something Star Wars related

It's STAR WARS, what more needs to be said honestly? If TFA didn't show you how powerful this legacy is I don't know what would at this point.

I give Star Wars (1977) an A.
But I give Star Wars: A New Hope (1980-) an A-.

 

It's the weakest link of the saga (along with the anticlimactic ROTJ) -- just an adventure movie with two three scenes wherein George Lucas real vision, ambitions, and ideas really shows. It's still a classic because of its editing, pacing, framing and (duh!) effects. And the actors are great in true B-list fashion! It's almost like watching SINGING IN THE RAIN or DUCK SOUP in space. 

But after watching EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and The Prequels (and even ROGUE ONE) you realize how big and universal the themes of Star Wars can be, and this part of the only takes short notes of what growing up means.

The last 80-90 minutes of it is incredible. No matter how many times I see this movie, I always feel pumped up at the end. The ultimate crowd pleaser.

I saw this when I was probably 7 years old around Christmas time, probably the perfect age to watch it. It truly captured my imagination at the time and made me an instant fan of the series. I still have a great time whenever I watch the film. A blockbuster classic that lives up to its reputation.

A+

I don't trust anyone that gives this below an A.
