**** out of **** / 10 out of 10

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2005)

"The Empire Strikes Back" may be my favorite film of all time. It is certainly the greatest science fiction film ever made. This film has every thing going for it. It has a wonderful and complex story line, brilliant special effects, and wonderful music from John Williams. The imperial march score is one of the greatest film compositions in the history of film. The acting in the film is excellent as well. It is significantly better than the acting in the two most recent additions to the Star Wars saga. The characters in this film are delightful, particularly Yoda as the great Jedi Master. Every scene he is in is extraordinarily interesting. If this film isn't my favorite film, it is certainly in my top three alongside "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and "Jaws."
