This movie has never stopped resonating within me.

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2000)

It took the release of the worst, most disappointing film of all time (The Phantom Menace) for me to realize that ESB is my favorite movie of all time. Aside from the great story, characters, acting, dialogue, art direction, etc. etc. etc. -- it is simply the most primal, mythic, formative movie of my childhood. No movie has ever captured good vs. evil so well. Let's hope Lucas can make Episodes 2 and 3 somewhat closer to ESB and further from the awful crap of Phantom Menace.
