At the end of the film, when everybody's celebrating the success of Good over Evil, there's a scene with Luke seeing the ghosts/spirits of dead Jedi warriors/masters. And who do you think is next to Obi Wan (Alec Guinness) and Yoda??? Hayden freakin' Christensen (who was like 2 yo in 1983)!!! :))) I can't believe they've added him in this copy... cause it's so weird (***sorry for people who have no idea what I'm talking about***)... George Lucas, you're such a cheater!
Getting back to the film: it's obviously the weakest of the original 3! Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher seem so embarassed to be there (Carrie's acting is pretty bad), the action is kind of weak, not a lot of stuff happening plotwise... those funny furry creatures are cute, but the good guys really suck in this episode. A big plus: of course, my beloved Emperor, such a cool looking villain.
My rating for the film: 7/10. It kind of drags along. But still ok for someone with a weak spot for Star Wars, like I have.

Hey Alex, I love reading your stuff!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on all accounts; this entry was a BIG step down from the first two (which are the only great ones), and the plot just doesn't have that creative spark andd imagination that the first two did.
I do like the light sabre fight between Luke and Vadar, just about the best from the movies, but other then that this isn't much more than a tying up of the loose ends from the last film.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why you just watched this on it's own - I don't think I could watch it without the first 2.
I didn't watched it on its own. I watched again the other 2 originals last year. they're on the tags on the right
