It could have been better.
17 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I'm giving it a 7 compared to Episodes IV and V.

I think that the first part, the rescue of Han Solo is made in a silly way. It even looks a little like it is not prt of the Star Wars universe. There are a lot of creatures, the guards that are a mixture of wild boars and rhynoceros look like they don't belong there. Also the small pet of Jabba the hutt, looking like a rat or a bat that is laughing all the time is somewhat over the top. Also Leia in the bikini suit looks somewhat out of place. The entire rescue operation of Han Solo takes about 30 minutes of the film, it looks too long.

Another thing on the down side is the importance is given to the Ewoks. Basically they are the ones that save the Alliance. They are nice creatures but their fight against the storm troopers looks a little unrealistic. It would work better with wookies fighting the Empire (maybe on their home planet of Kashyyyk?), but the Ewoks are just too small and silly creatures and it is hard to believe they could take on the professional army of the Empire. Quite some time is dedicated to chasing and fighting through the forest. Also the veneration of the ewoks of C3PO is somewhat a little exagerrated.

Overall I consider that the rescue of Han Solo and the scenes in the forest took too much from the film.

Maybe a better story could have been figured out for this episode.

Lethal Weapon (1987)
10/10
Maybe the first movie I have ever watched.
7 July 2021
One of my favourite movies and probably the first movie I have ever watched, brought by my father on a video cassette from overseas. I think I was 4 years old when I first saw it. It is a movie full of classic action scenes, fun lines and good special effects. It is definitely a classic. This movie brings me fond memories and it makes me remember my parents as they were when I first saw the movie: young and full of energy.

Out of Africa (1985)
8/10
A good movie
8 June 2020
Overall this is a good movie. But I didn't feel any chemistry between Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. Also, for me Karen's character is a little bit weird as she kisses everyone, and I didn't feel like the love affair between Karen and Denys to be so passionate. Maybe because of the lack of chemistry between them. The costumes, scenery and music are great.

Grease (1978)
7/10
Danny, Sandy and the songs
11 March 2017
In my opinion John Travolta (Danny), Olivia Newton-John (Sandy) and the songs are the ingredients that make this movie great. Besides these, the interpretation of the supporting actors seems rather silly. The cool looks, the cars, the teenage theme and of course the songs transform this movie into a classic.
