To the Hoth System!

Rating: 8/10 (2 December 2005)

Episode VI is a very mixed movie. I think it gets more appraisal than it deserves (though I admit that the acting is much better this time around). The movie also has a type of darkness that makes it different from the first.
My problem with this film is very much the same as with Episode II. It always felt like "Return of the Jedi: Part I" rather than its own movie. True it has great moments and surpasses Episode II in the amount of variety (Ep. II always looked very plain for some reason) but an open ending in films is something I look at with some reserve (except with Resident Evil).
The good thing is that RotJ picks up soon after and we get a brilliant closure. Not the greatest film in my view, but a good film none the less.
