Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Don't listen to the negative reviews
Best movie ever!
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
It's quite a common opinion to say the Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars film but it is true. This film does everything that Star Wars did well and improves it and adds more. This film is darker, it's funnier, it's more emotionally resonant, the characters grow to be more interesting, it has better visuals (cinematography as well), better action and it has a better musical score.Everything has been said about this movie that can be said. It's just a masterpiece and one of the most enjoyable movies ever made.
The darkest and most epic film in the Star Wars franchise. This production teaches the audience 3 valuable lessons. 1. Not always will the good guys win. 2. Disobedience, recklessness and stupidity always have negative consequences. and 3. You will see how big a shocker can plot twists be.
The love story, the iconic lines, Lando and the Vader twist, Cloud City, YODA??? Proves that you don't need to be all stunts to be great and gripping. Leia's best arc, sets the bar for female characters in the Star Wars universe so high. I don't hate the prequels and I actually love the new stuff, but this is the best Star Wars movie ever and it will never be beat!!! Defines what the franchise is. This is the movie every Jedi should love.
After Luke's and Leia's arrival the resistance gains strength, especially after the demise of the death star by Luke Skywalker. Darth Vader and the first Order do not take much time to find for the resistance who are by then placed in a cold planet called Hoth. This film has interesting elements like the Lightsaber fight between Darth Vader and Luke; the secret romance of Leia and Han Solo that is expressed in the end, etc. A balancing counterpart of the earlier part this shows First Order on the higher side while resistance tries to gain through Luke as the last hope. Luke find his way to Dagobah where he has interesting meet with Master Yoda who begins his training but that does not complete due to the his call on saving his friends Leia and Han. Luke manages to escape after a breathtaking fight as Leia helps with his rescue. The turns are twisted as Luke's training is incomplete and the Jedi have not returned; First order gain strength and Vader has turned invincible. All eyes are on Luke who is thought is bring new life to the Jedi.
