A step down

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2014)

Bigger isn't always better. ClichÃ©d, I know, but it's perfect to describe this. Dazzling action sequences and it's not really a big decrease in quality from the first, but some of the creativity and wit is gone, and instead it gets to be too much of an overload. Still, it's pretty entertaining for the most part, the characterizations are once again the best thing about it, and where it leaves the characters in the end is truly fascinating. Unlike A new Hope, I can't say that I totally get the acclaim this one's gotten as the "best" in the franchise. Still, this is definitely pretty good and definitely doesn't add a bad taste to the franchise.
