The Best Sequel Ever...

Rating: Null/10 (27 May 1999)

Hey, I'm not afraid to call "The Empire Strikes Back" the best sequel ever made, closely ahead of "The Godfather Part II", "Superman II", and "Terminator II: Judgement Day." Oh, and who could forget, "Penetentairy II" (j/k)...
Just when you thought Lucas couldn't top "Star Wars," he does. Everything about "The Empire Strikes Back" made it a great movie: the special effects, the continuing character development, the story and the fact that the ending leaves us hanging, knowing there is more to be told.
Look at the film as the second act of a three act play. In Act I (Star Wars), we are introduced to the characters. In Act II (Empire), the characters are put in a difficult situation. In Act III (Jedi), the conflict is resolved.
Just like Episode II of the new trillogy, "Empire" was in part, a love story between Han and Leia. This is a film not to miss. GRADE: A+
