Movie Reviews of Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Theatrical Edition)
Movie Review: Give Lucas a Break
Summary: 5 Stars
Here you have it, what you so called "fans" have been whining about all these years. You have an unmolested version of one of the greatest movie trilogies ever released, and the redux version with all accompanying effects. These are all in one package for $50... $37 if you get it from Amazon. Heck, not 10 minutes ago, I almost ordered Episode IV and V in this format for $40. Now, I'll get the whole set for less!
Here's the skinny. If you aren't getting the product you want then no one is forcing you to buy it. You're also doing a disservice to the Amazon review process by basing your review on some fantasy product that, as of now, doesn't exist. The fact of the matter is this.
I am a huge fan of this trilogy, and this is the set I have been waiting for. I did what all of you should have done. I waited until it was available.
Movie Review: Still cool after 30 years!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great set, It comes with 6 discs which have the original movies and redone version of the movies. The digital remakes are good quality picture. The original films show in a very small window on the TV and are grainy and not that great of quality, but it is the original version - what do you expect from the late 70s and early 80s. Either way it is a nice set because they include the original movies.
I am not holding out for any blu ray version... how much better can they get the quality from movies that were filmed 30 years ago. The digital remasters are good enough for me in that case, they look decent on the TV and I don't really need to see Luke Skywalker's arm hair (that's a blu ray joke). Anyway, This set is well worth the price if you are a Star Wars fan. They come in thin dvd cases so the whole set does not take up that much room.
Movie Review: Best treatment yet
Summary: 5 Stars
Yeah yeah, so Skywalker Ranch is quadruple-dipping us. I don't care.
Three movies. Six discs. When boxsets reach the two-discs-per-movie state, that's critical mass. That's when you should buy (see also: Batman Legacy vs. Anthology, Alien Legacy vs. Quadrilogy, god only knows how many Star Trek boxes have been released...). This is the Star
Wars Trilogy boxset to buy (no comments on the hexalogy box that we all know is coming...)
It also looks great next to the new prequel trilogy box.
As for the movies themselves, I was never terribly impressed with A New Hope, and I don't understand why fans worship the Empire Strikes Back (it's a good movie, but not THAT good), but Return of the Jedi is pretty solid, and come on... what DVD library is complete without Star Wars?
One word: buy.
Movie Review: Best Set of the Original Trilogy ever to hit the market!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must buy for any Star Wars fan..."Original" or just a normal fan! The first disc to each episode is the digitally remastered version with all the gorgeous new backgrounds and all that good stuff! Although, all you Star Wars remastered haters the second disc or "Bonus Disc" has the ORIGINAL THEATRICAL version of the movie. I am 17 years old so I grew up with the Prequel Trilogy and never got to see the original version of the original trilogy. I am glad to have bought this set because I have the chance to watch the gorgeous remastered version but when my dad is itching to watch his version from when he was was a young-ling, just pop in the bonus disc and you see George Lucas original masterpiece! I love how Lucas put this set together and its a great deal for all you Star Wars fans of all ages...Movie Review: Couldn't really ask for much more.
Summary: 5 Stars
I see this box set is getting a lot of bad reviews so I thought I'd chime in.
Most people giving it one star are just mad that there is another boxset release. This doesn't bother me at all. I never bought the other boxsets because of all the CG that was added, those aren't the movies I love.
People are also upset that the originals aren't in anamorphic widescreen and are poor transfers. Yeah an anamorphic version would have been nice and maybe they could have been retransfered, but these movies look a lot better than my old VHS set. Most likely these movies look better now than they did in the crappy theatar I saw them in.
In conclusion, this is a very affordable way to get all the original versions of the original trilogy, plus you get all the touched up versions.
