Movie Reviews of Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Theatrical Edition)
Movie Review: Why this is better than the previous boxset.
Summary: 5 Stars
People say that if you already own the previous box set why bother with this one. The answer is simple, if you view it from the point of a person who likes to pretend bad sequel/prequels don't exist then it makes a lot more sense to buy this. This is the set for anyone who wants nothing to do with the special editions that add unnecessary CGI or digitally add Jar Jar and Hayden Christiansin to ruin good movies. Bare bones original, no CGI just puppets and practical effects. Its kinda like drinking coffee black you get the full taste, add to much of anything else and it becomes milk. Bottom line if you don't own or even if you do own the previous set toss it out and buy this one.Movie Review: Star Wars Trilogy: the Original Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
This box set includes both the original movie releases and the new updated versions. It's great to be able to choose which one you want to watch. The only down side is the quality of the original versions. They do not fill a wide screen TV, they were recorded for the older 4:3 screens. You end up with black bars on all four sides, and the quality is not full DVD. But you have to realize they were not edited, remastered, added to or anything. You get what everyone saw in the theater. If you're looking for better quality, pop in the remastered version and enjoy some of the new features and better sound. Either way, this collection has two ways to enjoy a great movie trilogy.Movie Review: The greatest movies ever made!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are the first films I ever became obsessed over and still to this day they are on the top of my all favorite films list. I was incredibly happy to see both versions here. I love the originals more and I missed some of the parts that were cut out and replaced on the SE versions. The SE versions were still fun and I was glad they did them. Now I can enjoy both versions. Everything that is great about film making comes from these movies. The prequals were the biggest movie dissapointment of my entire life and are not worthy to be called Star Wars movies. These is the real Star Wars triolgy. These movies rock more than any other movies in the galaxy!Movie Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an excellent buy. Loved the DVD quality and Star Wars is just... Star Wars. I'm tired of the griping about the original versions vs. the 'CG' revised versions. Personally, I like the tidied up newer versions myself. Yes, there's charm in a Model T, but there's also charm in newer models. Listening to fans who like the original version better, Lucasfilm put out this version with old and new together- have to buy two copies? No! Included for free, a whole different version of the movie. And yet then the whining begins- it's not the right version of the original (?!), it's not widescreen, whine, whine.
Just buy it. It's excellent.
Movie Review: A Nice Addition
Summary: 5 Stars
What you get with the 2008 edition is 3 slim line cases for each respective film. The slim line case has the newest version of the film on one disc and a second disc with the original version so in total 2 discs per movie with a total of 6 discs.
I just watched them all this week and I gotta say for how much you pay and what you get it is a very good value. I am so glad I found this boxset to replace my VHS copies of the original films! Plus it is fun to take a look at the edits on these movies despite some that are a bit controversial. On a note of caution, the outer box is not the best quality so be careful.
