Star Wars
I've just seen Star Wars (the modified version with the title Episode IV: A New Hope, that is). I enjoyed it much more than I was expecting to. After all the hype and fan wankery surrounding it, I didn't think it could possibly live up to its reputation. In a sense, I was right: I didn't think it was as amazing as some people have made out, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Like so many self-conciously epic films, it did at times feel a little too pompous for its own good, but this was countered quite well by the sense of humour that was visible throughout, especially with regard to the English metal man and his short robotic sidekick. I'll seek out the other two films in the original trilogy (not so sure about the recent Episodes 1-3, though).8/10

Just look away from the Stars Wars franchise (except some of the comics and the Samurai Jack team's Clone Wars) and the first trilogy is good. The speaking parts are better than all the fight scenes in I-III.
