It's a Wrap

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2008)

The second trilogy (or first, depending on how you look at it) concludes with a bang. Unlike the open-ended and unsatisfying "The Empire Strikes Back," this one wraps up the loose ends. While there is plenty of action, the film goes on too long and there are too many annoying creatures, not to mention the unbearable robots C3PO and R2D2. Yoda makes a cameo appearance. It's also pointless to have some of the creatures speak English while others speak in some alien tongue with subtitles. Is this meant to depict some kind of realism? The battle scenes are well executed and exciting, although they do tend to become repetitive.
