Ah, Star Wars, Anew Hope, what an amazing film. This is also in my top 5 movies. It was an amazingly thought out film. I mean, you haven't lived until you've seen star wars. At the beginning, a rebel ship containing Princess Leia is captured by Darth Vader. 2 droids, C3P0 and R2D2 escape. Only to be sold to Luke Skywalker. Who sets out on an adventure with Han Solo, Chewbacca and Obi Wan Kenobi. They set out to defeat the empire by joining the rebels. ...
...and thrills. Ask anyone about Star Wars and they will tell you it is a great film. Everybodys heard of it, who hasn't. The Director George Lucas is an amazing director. Briliant, he put 110% into this film. The result was unbelievable. Now the soundtrack to Star Wars is also brilliantly mixed in wIth the film.

Advantages: Originality of idea ONLY
Disadvantages: chaotic, dark, not clear, not easy to comprehend

...It is one of the worst movies ever produced. Even Ashten's hotness is not visible in all this darkness and weirdness. Someone who constantly changes time backwards and forwards not controlling it and not knowing how to control it is mighty confusing! both for ashten and for the viewer. I have finished the movie just in hopes of understanding of what is truly going on and if there is a hint of a happy ending! however, the story line is new, unique ... Read review
