The Best Movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 1999)

The Empire Strikes Back is quite simply the best movie that I have ever seen. The acting is well done, the story is captivating, the scenery is amazing. The Empire Strikes Back begins after the original Death Star has been destroyed. The Rebel Alliance is still, however being chased across the galaxy by the evil Galactic Empire. In this episode, the relationship between Han Solo, the coolest freighter pilot ever, and Princess Leia is beginning to evolve into a love story, Darth Vader's master is at long last revealed, Yoda, the wise Jedi master is sought out by Luke Skywalker at the instruction of Obi-Wan, and Darth Vader makes an announcement that will forever change young Luke's life. The lightsaber duel between Darth Vader and Luke is one of my personal favorite action sequences in the Star Wars universe. The Battle of Hoth is another memorable action scene where the Rebellion must defend their base against the Imperial forces. I gave this movie a perfect 10, and hope that everybody goes out and rents it hundreds of times.
