The Greatest Movie of the XX. Century

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2000)

"The Empire strikes back" is the best movie made in this Century. It´s really more than a movie, it´s more a great epic tale brought on the silver screen. Much darker than "A New Hope" and more grown up like this first milestone, "Empire" creates an atmospheric intensity I felt in no other movie so far, and believe me I saw a lot! The storyline is far more elaborate than those few critics say, and anyone who gives this film less than at least 6 points definitely doesn´t know anything about the magic in movie-making. "Empire" is not only the peak of the Star Wars-Trilogy (so far!), but it´s SFX still stand up to our CGI-overfed Era! Just remember the asteroid field or the battle in the snow on Hoth. And everything is underlined by the best score John Williams ever composed. 10 Points, but only because there are no higher ratings possible.
