one of my absolute favorites!

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Don't Believe the Hype

The acting in this movie is really good.

Originally dubbed as "Star Wars", now currently "Star Wars: A New Hope". This is the first episode and the very first visual material of the Star Wars series/franchise.

Nearly half of the film is showcased on a desert planet. (The most boring ecosystem ever) I mean, who wants to see a desert for 45 straight minutes? And the social commentary goes on forever and does not even nudge the story along. Then after the desert, there is a rescue-the-princess cliche. If you like rescue the princess cliches, watch Shrek or play Super Mario Brothers. Not this awful movie. And there is barely any action in any of the movies except the 2003 anime, which is just barely enjoyable. Also, this movie is a blatant rip off of a Nazi propaganda film called "Triumph of the Will" so if you like this movie, then you support Nazis.

The music score, story, and editing of this film A New Hope is among the best I've ever seen, even as of today, and you can hardly find a film better in these aspects. The sound editing is also truly world-class. The visual effects and action sequences may be out of date from the point of view of present, but definitely groundbreaking at the time of release.

I love this movie! It is amazing! It is the first Science Opera movie in the world. A main character named Luke who lives in a devastated planet gets caught in a galaxy war by his destiny. There is Rebel Alliance Army of justice, and Galaxy Empire of evil. He joins in the Rebel and fights against the Empire. The story is very fascinating for me. In addition to it, characters are also interesting. They have individual personality. Although this is a story of distant world, these characters make audience get a sense of affinity. Their looks are far from us, but they have something real like us. There is one scene which I love. That is when Darth Vader of Empire attacks Luke's fighter. When Darth Vader gives him the last blow, laser attack comes to Darth Vader from a pilot named Han Solo of the Rebel. Darth Vader looks backwards quickly in his fighter. This production is very fantastic. It is because, although Darth Vader cannot see anything of his back, he looks backwards unconsciously. This scene makes audience be excited. By the enemy looking back, audience recognize that the help comes, and Luke will save. This scene emphasizes them.
