10/10
This is my favourite Star Wars movie. I do adore both Episode 4 and Episode 6, but this is comfortably above both. One of the greatest films ever created.
Good:
- Hoth is beautifully designed and rendered. As is everything else. And all using effects from the 1970s.
- Beautiful musical score.
- The Imperial attack is just...incredible. It makes that clone-droid battle in Attack of the Clones, a fantastic scene in its own right, look like two babies fighting over a lollipop.
- Mark Hamill acts far better in this than in A New Hope.
- The navigation of the asteroid field.
- Han and Leia. That's how you do sexual tension, creepy-modern-day-George-Lucas. Not paedophilic relationships between senators and annoying fourteen year old boys.
- Yoda.
- Vader, in significant quantities.
- No, Luke. I am your father.
Bad:
- Nothing comes to mind.
