Review of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) by Luke E — 22 Nov 2015
Originally with 'Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back' the first ever follow-up to the Star Wars franchise payed off immensely well and still holds up to this day. Guided by it's non-traditional narrative structure, it not only surpasses the expectations of viewers, but also the franchise's spectacle and involving plot lines.
The film even adopts a more darker and sinister tone 'Revenge of the Sith' could almost match, really bringing out those big character developments within it's really dedicated and talented cast.
While unlike it's predecessor It is also a shame while this is the most 'praised' out of all Star Wars films to date, George Lucas almost had little influence on the writing, but simply more for the spectacle and impact of the film overall.
In addition to that; the big complications in the plot and details are hard to nit-pick seeing full well the script was incredibly well polished. Whether or not "Episode VII: The Force Awakens' coming in December can top the quality and expectations of fans and casual viewers alike remains to be seen.
Nonetheless, 'The Empire Strikes Back' remains to be one if not 'The' finest middle entry of any big movie franchise to date.
