5/5
"I've always found
Empire
to be the
Hamlet
of science fiction, basically because nothing good happens to the hero in the entire story."

Christopher Null

Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
4/4
"The film spends more time on its characters and unlike the previous film they aren't as busy with all kinds of swashbuckling adventures."

"Sophisticated!"
Screen It!
Jim Judy
9/10
"Great follow-up to the original tale of a galaxy far, far away, this film has plenty of action, one-liners, special-effects, good vs evil rivalries and a pleasantly dark ending."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium

John J. Puccio

Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
9/10
"El Episodio V es el más oscuro de la saga de Star Wars, pero también, el más seductor."
Cinenganos
Luis Martinez
"I think I can recite most of the dialogue from
The Empire Strikes Back
-- I mean, even R2's clicks and beeps. Isn't that sad?"
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
4/4
"Sci-fi cinema at its best."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
5/5
"Each section of the film has a stand-out sequence that inspires hyperbole like 'best ever.'"

Rob Gonsalves
4/4
"To see
The Empire Strikes Back
again on the big screen is a real treat and it brings to mind that cliché they don't make 'em like this anymore."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten

"Have you heard of this one? Sequel to Star Wars?"

Scott Weinberg
4/4
"The best Star Wars movie, ever!"
sbs.is
Stefan Birgir Stefansson
"Despite ... an unresolved storyline that paves the way for its dismal sequel,
Empire
remains in many ways the best (indeed the last good)
Star Wars
film."
ESplatter
Steve Biodrowski
A+
"The backbone of the
Star Wars
saga takes the story and themes of the first film into deeper waters."
