He has hardly changed!

The fact that this is from 1995 is awesome. Mark doesn't sound that different than he does now if you ask me.

"Before the Empire...err, before the prequels and Special Editions..."

[MrKeepitunderyourhat]

"Lucas is going to fix one of the scenes". Oh, so this is where the horror began...

@SamHain1031666 unfortunately it may be too late, unless you ebay the original vhs tapes, which i just did for 12 dollars. the originals uncut is the only way to go.

[janlomona]

and here's me thinking Kermode hated Star Wars. I guess he just lost his appreciation after the Special Editions and the prequels, sounds like he was drinking the Kool Aid here.

wow, 1995, I was only 3 when this was broadcast, and I listen to Kermode&Mayo all the time haha :) Definatly my favourite reviewer.

[SamHain1031666]

Guess what, im a huge movie buff, i like to think ive seen pretty much all the best films, cult films, indie films, foriegn films and what have you....HOWEVER, ive never seen teh first 3 starwars films. Im aware ive not seen them and i know you could turn around and say "you cant be a movie buff if youve not seen starwars" however im saving them, i know their good, and i know i'll like them, and ill get to them when im really in the mood

[8alih]

[Mrster]

He got Randall and Dante wrong!

[eddywards84]

[paintballing489]

@pirateking193 Your mum is a pretentious whore. Just because she doesn't ask for money makes her cheap

BANTEER

[YouFoolWarrenIsDead]

Perhaps Alec Guinness also asked for a percentage because they couldn't just fire him.

[pirateking193]

Mark kermode has good moments but he's also a pretentious wanker.

[B1ggu5]

Agnes Wrath of God. :o)

[B1ggu5]

Why would he?

[pirateking193]

@RebelVoDKa ot really star wars is a film that all can like

[BrotherJosephus]

@SethHesio Well... there is the Clone Wars movie.

[TeamTowers1]

I dont like Star Wars but I acknowledge it as a classic and if Kermode cant do that then he dosnt deserve to call himself a film critic.

[BlowDeBloodyDoorsOff]

I love Mark Radcliffe's voice.
