Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)

Welcome to my first movie blog - here goes nothing.

Anyone who takes the time to actually read this blog has most likely seen this movie a hundred times, so I won't waste any space with a movie synopsis.

Quite simply, this movie is classic. Timeless. Genius. In my eyes, this movie virtually created the genre of Science Fiction. I am a huge Star Wars fan, so biased as I may be, this movie is probably the best sci-fi movie out there. The casting is perfect, the effects are unbelievable (pretty damn good for 1977) and the story line is fantastically imaginative. The idea of "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." heightens the imagination of adults and children alike.

This movie was way before its time. George Lucas - you are a genius. As C-3PO so eloquently put it.. " Thank The Maker."

Mr. Lucas - This movie gets 5 stars for sure!
