I remember a lot of critics panning Star Wars. One local critic loved it and refer to it as the Saturday matinee grown up. I still love the series.

My dad took me to see it when it first came out in ‘77; he’d grown up watching the Flash Gordon serials at the matinees, and he commented as well that Star Wars was basically a Flash Gordon movie with outstanding visual effects and great music.
