Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980 & 2004 Versions, 2-Disc Widescreen Edition)

Rating: - the best of the sagas the empire strikes back is obviously the best movie of them all.the story was so damn cool and this particular dvd with the original cut is just outstanding.if your a serious star wars fan like myself you wont be disappointed. Rating: - Actors are the weakest link I watched this for the first time in almost 30 years last night and was struck by how lame the acting seems, even though this was aimed at pre-teens and modeled on 30s-era Saturday matinees, never paragons of adult acting. Then, I realized, by listening to the audio commentary, why this is full of lame jokes: The film was directed by someone I never heard of, but who sounds like a studio dinosaur who came up in the olden days when Hollywood was pure hokum. Only Darth Vader and the Nazi-like storm-troopers bring the right gravitas, it seems to me. This was all enthralling, sort of, three decades ago. It's still kind of charming, and the battle with the tall walkers is pretty good. I know nothing about the various 'editions' that have been released. I wonder why they can't upgrade this to fill the screens of today's LCD tvs. Rating: - Vader Wants His Son Back... ...And that's why most of this movie happens! Darth Vader is trying to use Han and Leia as bait to lure Luke to him. Luke is on the planet of Dagobah taking Jedi lessons from Master Yoda, while the always-bickering Han and Leia are starting to fall in love. But Vader won't stop until he has his son back, and exciting things result from this... With the way this ends, you'll want to see Episode VI: Return of the Jedi to find out what happens afterwards. And you can watch all the rest of them, while you're at it... Rating: - Why does George Lucas have so little regard for the Original? Do not get me wrong. "The Empire Strikes Back" is very good Science Fiction / Space Opera. But, it is not in the same class as the original Star Wars movie (Episode IV). Somehow, George Lucas got a little off the track in putting this second movie together. The re-do of this movie that Lucas did in the 1990s is worse than the original version. Personally, I do not believe that Lucas ever understood the phenomenon of the original Star Wars movie. Oh, well. Do see this movie. Just, do not expect the same magic that the original Star Wars had. Rating: - Awesome Movie This movie, and the other part of the trilogy, as well, are the best of Lucas Film. This time the movie was re-edited and digital improvement helping you to see in the new format of DVD and TV. I bought this one and the other of the trilogy to have all the original in my house... and because now are seeing them by my son. page 2 of  86  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11
