Review of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) by Ben C — 16 Dec 2015
I just had to give this one a perfect 10! This takes what was good in its predecessor and manages to astonish us all over again. But on top of that, it pushes everything to the Nth degree!
They took chances with this film and brought us something beyond amazing! You got a chase scene with the Millennium Falcon, you got amazing ground battles, you got new vehicles, that amazing soundtrack, and on top of all that, it got dark!
Yeah! There are some pretty scary scenes, too. But a good kind of scary. The kind of scary that makes you wonder, theorize, and question what might happen next. But much like most great movies, not everything ends in a flawless victory. There are losses, there are reveals that shock us, there are twists, it has everything! I personally can't see anything wrong with it!
And just like Yoda says, George Lucas didn't try with this movie. He DID.
