Lazy Film Critic Road to Episode VII
Star Wars
So I'm finally done with the prequels, now I can actually get to the movies in the series that everyone loves, starting with Episode IV (or Episode I if you prefer): A New Hope! This film follows the story of Luke Skywalker as he goes from a simple desert farmboy to the hero of the rebellion, fighting against the sinister Empire.
Okay, so it's basically common knowledge at this point that the original Star Wars trilogy are 3 of the best movies ever, even people who haven't seen them at the very least know about them. And with good reason, the first Star Wars movies are some of the best sci-fi films out there. And although I didn't grow up with Star Wars like a lot of current Star Wars fans, it's still one of my favorite movie series out there.
What's great about Star Wars, especially the first film, is that the story isn't anything special at its core. It's a basic story of good vs. evil, but what makes this movie great isn't really the story, but the execution. Sure, one could see it as a bit cheesy, after all, it's a 70s movie. But on the other hand, the movie does a great job of delivering such a simple plot into a sci-fi film that introduces its audience to a whole new world.
And thats the other thing I love, about this movie in particular. Something I love in any series, movie or tv, is anything that can establish an original world, and bring it's own creative lore. And that's what Star Wars does, which is something I see very rarely. This movie establishes its own lore, there is incredible and genuine originality behind this movie. Which is why I have and always will retain that even if you don't love Star Wars, there's gotta be some part in everyone that respects this movie.
Final Rating
Star Wars is an absolutely fantastic movie. It's a timeless film, and one of the all-time greats. I don't think it's quite on the same god-like status to me as it is to most people, I still enjoy the hell out of it. If you're one of the few who hasn't seen it, I'd highly recommend watching it. It's one of the best movies out there, and one of the best in the series.
