And it strikes back with a bang

Rating: 7/10 (17 November 2015)

Empire Strikes Back is widely called the best Star Wars film (to date) and it is clear to see why.
It certainly contains lots of the iconic moments from the series and all the best lines. Hamill, Fisher and Ford all have eased into their lead roles and there is enough action for them all to be involved, even if after the first act they don't spend much time together.
Whereas 'A New Hope' had a sluggish start this second film in the original trilogy opens with action and never really lets up after that. There are great fight scenes and technical effects that more than make up for the moments where it all gets a bit sci-fi jargon heavy.
Is this the best Star Wars film, the one for future films to beat? Possibly.
