The Most Absorbing Fantasy of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2000)

The Empire Strikes Back is that rarest of films, a sequel that is superior to it's predecessor. Thrilling, eiree, magical, funny and involving. Fans of fantasy/adventure simply cannot ask for more than this. Director Irvin Kershner creates a modern day mythology that lingers in the viewers mind long after the credits roll and the lights come up. The upcoming LORD OF THE RINGS films are building up alot of anticipation, but I doubt if any film in that much awaited trilogy can live up to the towering acheivment of Empire. This film is quite simply the best of it's kind.
