Top Critics Reviews

Has distinct limitations, but the current return to a cinema of spectacle and wonder is wholly encouraging.

A magnificent film. George Lucas set out to make the biggest possible adventure fantasy out of his memories of serials and older action epics, and he succeeded brilliantly.

George Lucas, who made American Graffiti, has put together a sci-fi film that draws on any number of associations. Star Wars is both amazing and familiar.

There's no breather in the picture, no lyricism; the only attempt at beauty is in the double sunset.

What places it a sizable cut about the routine is its spectacular visual effects, the best since Stanley Kubrick's 2001.
