Way too over-rated. Definitely not in the same class as "star wars" and "Return of the Jedi".

Rating: 5/10 (10 September 1999)

I was very disappointed upon seeing "The Empire strikes back". I expected more in this movie than just the scene where Darth Vader tells Luke Skywalker: "Luke, I am your father". I was expecting as much excitement and unpredictability as in "Star wars". I'm not saying the movie is bad or boring, but if you compare this the first and the third (or the fourth and the sixth), it just isn't as good, that's all. However, just like in "Star wars" and "The return of the Jedi", Harrison Ford's performance is excellent and is the best part, in my opinion, of "The Empire strikes back". But for fans of the trilogy, it's an absolute must-see.
