Empire Strikes Back

Pros: Plot,Acting,Special Effects, Music
Cons: Ending - Seems as though they just wanted to hype up sequel..

Star Wars : Empire Strikes back is the second installment of the Star Wars Trilogy. I own the "Special Edition" of this movie which really isn't a heck of a lot different then the original. Anyways, this one strikes back in it's own way - It...

Pros: Most.
Cons: Very few.

Back in 1979, George Lucas still had a touch of modesty and was willing to hand the director's seat over to other artists -- and thank Gawd he did, for given the garbage composts that are Star Wars Episode 1 through 3, The Empire Strikes Back and ...

Pros: Character depth, returning characters, new characters, expanded mythology, dark tone.
Cons: Set the bar too high for other installments of the series to reach.

The original "Star Wars," while no doubt a revolutionary and tremendously entertaining motion picture in its own right, was filled with card-board characters and an overall campy tone. "The Empire Strikes Back" improves on it in every way and is almost ...

Pros: Engrossing story, great special effects and performances. Superb direction.
Cons: None

'The Empire Strikes Back' is arguably THE greatest film in the entire Star Wars film series. And, oddly enough, it's one of the films NOT directed by George Lucas. Everything about it, the dialogue, the action, the special effects, the direction, the...

Pros: Great FX, visuals, life lessons, mythology, and even decent acting
Cons: Adding Luke's yell to the Special Edition

In 1980, I was seven years old; three years before that I had discovered "Star Wars" and it rocked my little world. By 1980, I had started playing with Star Wars action figures, and making my own adventures of Luke Skywalker. In those pre-internet...

Pros: great story, breaks the action movie mold, innovative and inspiring
Cons: suffers only from limitations of stop motion and blue screen at the time

After the unprecedented success of A New Hope it would be a surprise if Lucas DIDN’T make a sequel. This was not an idea he had because the first movie made him some money, though. Star Wars was meant to have multiple chapters, and the initial success ...

Pros: John Williams' score, special effects, story, acting
Cons: little, if anything at all

A long time ago, in a local Cineplex not so far away, sequels were once a cinematic event highly anticipated and beheld with excitement, not loathed or regarded with an eye of skepticism from the general public like they are today. Rarely is the decision ...

Pros: Full-bodied story, characters, and plot pay-offs
Cons: Return of the Jedi follows

In the Star Wars universe, The Empire Strikes Back is the one that sticks. Twenty-five years after its first release, I recently re-viewed it with my 8-year-old son as part of our "prep" course for the final Star Wars entry ...

Pros: it like the others in the great trilogy are also great movies
Cons: no ending.

So continuing with the original Star Wars Trilogy I get to the middle point of the trilogy Star Wars episode 5 the empire strikes back. A lot of people say this is the best Star Wars of the original trilogy. I disagree just a bit it’s a good movie ...

Pros: A perfect, flawless movie.
Cons: Well ok- the "Two Fighters against a Star Destroyer?" guy.

While I remember - in vague terms at least - movies from my very early childhood like Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Star Wars, it was the Empire Strikes Back at the tender age of eleven that was the first movie I ...

Pros: Every part of this movie works seamlessly together to create a masterpiece.
Cons: None.

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Directed by Irvin Kershner. Story by George Lucas. After the destruction of the Death Star, spirits are running high for the rebel alliance, but the Empire has redoubled their efforts to ...

Pros: the appearance of Yoda
Cons: Han Solo in carbonite

I was never too interested in Star Wars when I was growing up, and this movie is the reason. We caught part of it on TV one time when I was pretty little, probably six or seven years old. All I remember from that initial viewing was the image that would ...

Pros: Star Wars, Luke I am your father, I love you. I know, Yoda
Cons: Made in 1980 so the best technology was not available

This considered by many to be the best of the original Star Wars Trilogy. I myself am not among those people (I liked Episode 4: A New Hope the best I think, but this is #2), but I still thought that it was a stellar performance. It continues the theme...

Pros: The movie...
Cons: It......ended.

STAR WARS EPISODE V The Empire Strikes Back
The darkside beckons upon Luke Skywalker. The love between Han Solo and Princess Leia rises, the adventures of Star Wars continues.........


He will join us or...

Pros: Story, Action, Characters, Music
Cons: None, really

The Empire Strikes Back (1980)"May the Force be with you." Star Wars (Episode IV) was a space opera that featured state-of-the-art analog special effects, long before the advent of Computer Generated Imagery. ...
