Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

Three years after the events of "Star Wars," Imperial forces continue to pursue the Rebels. After the Rebellion's defeat on the ice planet Hoth, Luke journeys to the planet Dagobah to train with Jedi Master Yoda, who has lived in hiding since the fall of the Republic. In an attempt to convert Luke to the dark side, Darth Vader lures young Skywalker into a trap in the Cloud City of Bespin. In the midst of a fierce lightsaber duel with the Sith Lord, Luke faces a startling revelation. (20th Century Fox)

My favorite of the series. Compared to Star Wars it's more sophisticated, better gags, characters more fleshed out, more interesting locations. And compared to Jedi, there's no annoying Ewoks and it feels less like a repeat of the first movie. This movie also had the best toy associated with it.

A perfect sequel to a an already-perfect fantasy adventure movie. Darker, bigger, funnier, and scarier than A New Hope, with tons of new and awesome characters, starships, and storylines, better dialogue and acting, awesome plot twists and action scenes, even better effects than the already-incredible work in the original, and another brilliant soundtrack from John Williams. Basically, it's the shit.

You loved Star Wars? This is even better. Dark and brooding, heavy heavy film compared to the first - and infinitly better. This is Luke's movie. Sure there's that Green Muppet, and Han gets to be an ice cube in Jabba's cocktail du jour, but those aren't bad things. Lucas's ego swelled justifiably after this film. Go watch now, I must...

Again, one of the best sci/fi-fantasy films ever. Rarely is a sequel just as good, if not better than, the original, but this manages to one-up the original in terms of story-telling and character development, and has one of the best endings to a film ever. I imagine waiting three years for a finale back then mist have been nerve-wracking after seeing this. The darker tone and unfolding of events works amazingly well. What more could you ask for?

Lucas & Leigh Brackett's understanding that old cinema serials also had the best cliffhangers helped them to produce arguably the greatest sequel ever. The picture continues the grounded theme of the momentous choices all young people make--as Luke decides to return to his friends in need instead of continuing his education. And kudos to the expansion of the universe, as we see not only some cool worlds & cities, but get to empathize with how everyday citizens live under the thumb of a madman.

The best of the original trilogy, and, although I at this point in time have still not seen Revenge of the Sith, I strongly suspect it's the best of the lot. It benefits greatly from the more serious mood and relative lack of cartoony silliness.

What makes this the best Star Wars movie? I can at least throw out some ideas: the beautiful, stark landscape of Hoth, "Pray that I don't alter it any further," my favorite twist ending of all time. I can't pinpoint it, but this movie is an absolute joy from beginning to end.

One of the best sci-fi films of all-time and easily the best Star Wars movie. The script is tight, the characters are more developed than in the original and the action moves along at a surprising clip. Even as my love for Star Wars wanes a bit as I get older and experience more enlightened works of cinema, this one still stands out as a benchmark in action films. There are so many memorable scenes and the darker tone with real struggles on both sides of the battle set this apart from its genre.

Just as you thought STAR WARS couldn't possibly get any better, it actually does. This darker, deeper expansion of the STAR WARS universe, introduces not only some amazingly conceived side-characters, but also one of the biggest revelations on this side of the galaxy! This is space opera at it's absolute finest, qualifying this as one of the greatest sequels in motion picture history.

overrated | 96 99th |
One of the most entertaining movies ever made and imo the best adventure story put to the screen. I'm not even that big of a Star Wars fan - the first is fun but dated, and the third has some parts as bad as the prequels. Yet the middle episode gets the formula right, with the heros constantly on the run and the villains actually landing some punches. I daresay most people's fond opinions of the OT comes from Empire, somewhat hilariously the one Lucas had the least to do with.

The thing about George Lucas is he's a fantastic producer and a great visionary about story. He's not a great writer or director though. This is why Empire is probably my choice for the best of the Star Wars films. While he has a writing credit, it's just for the basics. Kershner also far surpasses him in directorial skills.

My all-time #1 favorite movie. This is the best film ever made. You cannot deny the imagination, the action, the story, the characters, and the amazing direction by Kershner. The best scene in cinematic history is the overly-famous "No, I am your father!" scene. One of the best villains ever is right here (sidenote: the best shot of Vader ever is after Han is put in carbon freeze and Vader looks upwards amidst the smoke)! Once again: the best film ever made.

Every bit as amazing as the original, if not better. The second film delves deeper into the Star Wars universe, becoming a darker, more sinister chapter. The action is bigger and the epic twist is historic. "Empire Strikes Back" stands as one of the best films ever made, and among the best sequels of all time.

Perfect sequel! It delivers more of the same. It surpasses and elaborates. I love the score. I love the mythology. I love Brackett's dialogue and Ford & Fisher's chemistry. I love the locations (Hoth!) and their variety. I love the rapid pacing and the finely judged cross-cutting. I love Yoda and the audicity to make one of the meanest villains of all time a mere servant. I love the bleakness and the big reveal at the end. I love every second and every frame. I love it all, i tell you! You know?

Altogether more sophisticated than its predecessor, owing to a tripled budget, a seasoned director, and probably just a more discernible sense of purpose for its returning cast and crew. This is the best Star Wars film, a dark middle chapter where everything goes wrong for the good guys, and is host to some indelible set pieces, particularly the battle of Hoth and the duel between father and son.

Though it's second best to the original, The Empire Strikes Back is nearly as good as a movie could be. Taking steps further in terms of storytelling, character development, and theatrics, it puts virtually every other sci-fi flick to shame. It's tragic but at the same time uplifting. Simply put, The Empire Strikes Back is the best example of how an action sequel should be, and is, without a doubt, one of the best movies of all time.

Tripwyre | 100 99th |
Directed by Irvin Kershner. Written by Lawrence Kasdan. Is it any surprise that the greatest Star Wars, and in my opinion the best science fiction film of all time, went largely untouched by George Lucas? As the middle film of a trilogy, it's afforded the rare luxury of a down-note ending, which is one of its many great strengths (see also: Billy Dee Williams, and all three of the saga's best locations). It's too bad the series couldn't match these heights again, but this one's a legend.

Lucas' just4kids dialogue does rear its ugly head at times, but Kershner& the screenwriters keep things moving far too smoothly & efficiently2 really notice. Y is this the best entry in the series? B/c there's plenty of story, but it never drags in dull exposition. The action set pieces here thrill & bleed in2 each other in organic, yet unpredictable ways; & the characters' smarts r more on display than ever w/ each side (esp. Han and Vader) outwitting/outplotting the other till the credits roll

Hawkins | 90 90th |
Kudos to Henson and Oz for crafting a puppet that not only can be taken seriously but honest-to-god gave the best performance of the movie. "That, is why you fail." Chilling. Entrapment is the dominant motif that lends to the heavier tone - entrapment in ice, a space worm, a swamp, cloud city, in carbonite, in Vader's image, in open air. That this favored installment has the least focus on sword/gun/dog-fighting is probably a good indicator of where priorities went awry later in the saga.

TimeCapsule | 96 98th |
The darkest chapter in the original Star Wars trilogy serves as maybe the best example of a sequel improving on the great foundation set by the original, and arguably surpassing it in quality. The engrossing universe, characters, and mythology created by George Lucas are given more layers of depth in this middle act of the saga. Again masterfully scored by John Williams, the film also manages to improve on the original's revolutionary visual effects.

Most great action movies would kill for a scene like the attack on Hoth. Empire has that AND at least two more all-time classic action sequences--the Millenium Falcon's esacape through the asteroid field and Luke vs. Vader I, which for my money, is still the best lightsabre duel in the entire series despite it's lack of kewl CGI dood. I don't think there's any debate about which movie is the best of this series. The "Empire vs. Jedi" debate from "Clerks" was absurd. There is no debate.

Improvement on A New Hope in every way. Better script, action, music, no weak links in acting, more character development... the darker tone is nice. Darth Vader getting more time to shine is only ever a good thing, and they upped the ante quite a bit for Return, while still being a good movie on its own. There are times in SWs that the light sabre battles feel hollow but not the case here. Film makers today should keep in mind that THIS is how you do the "in-between" movie in a trilogy.

Revisiting this as an adult makes it clear that it is a movie for kids. Artlessly directed, with stupid lines and even more asinine plot-twists (an ice-planet with no vegetation but breathable oxygen? a gigantic "snake/worm" living inside a deserted asteroid and feeding on what?). It's a cultural reference you need - but that doesn't make it a great movie.

All of the right ingredients come together for this one: the best performances by the actors, the best director of the Star Wars films, and the arrival of the conflict of the series. This is the movie with all of the most memorable scenes, whether its Yoda speaking of the power of the Force or Darth Vader revealing the most famous plot twist of all time. I could go on in detail about why this is the best of the series, but I don't have the space. It is a masterpiece of American cinema.

With The Empire Strikes Back, George Lucas took a massive 180. He stepped down and let an experienced independent filmmaker direct, allowing the sequel to explore new waters. Unlike the joyful, adventurous tone of Star Wars, this sequel features character growth, darkness, tragedy, and loss. No location from the first movie is revisited. The Empire Strikes Back does not recycle. Instead, it pushes forward without looking back. It is the best Star Wars film, and the emotional peak of the trilogy.

Deserves credit for taking some risks and functioning properly as a middle act. The deliberate pace allows room for characters to develop and breathe, creating greater emotional cohesion between the three acts, and the actors are more comfortable in their roles. The effects are generally superior to the original, the battle between Luke and Vader is charged with psychological undercurrents, and the cliffhanger ending is a real downer that creates a real sense of anticipation. A superior sequel.

This is honestly not out of any bias for the franchise. To me, Empire Strikes Back is an incredibly good example of how to properly make a sequel: change absolutely everything up. It's a surprisingly funny film (scruffy-looking nerf herder, anyone?) while also being much, much darker and developing Vader from just another bad guy with a mask into a villain with a lot of depth. Add in the new characters of Yoda and Lando, and you've got a near-perfect film.

With the introduction of many great new characters and plot points, Empire is arguably the best of the Star Wars films. Luke is on his way to becoming a Jedi, Han and Leia confess their love for each-other, and the biggest surprise in movie history occurs. You know the one. It has good closure at the end also, which is surprising for it ends on such a downer, but the viewers have nothing but hope for the characters and their futures. Awesome!

One of the greatest films ever made. A New Hope and Return of the Jedi are great fantasy/sci-fi flicks, but Empire was a full, real movie that was also about space stuff. The key here was that George Lucas didn't direct, passing that duty off to a guy who, up until that point, had only ever really done romance films. And the result was tremendous.

One of the factors that makes this movie the best of the series that largely goes unmentioned is just how funny it is.

The first Star Wars movie was alright but the sequel is great. Two wonderful things happen: the philosophy of light/dark side is explained more and the flaws of the good characters come to be. Personally, this enrichened the movie and also led me to the great feeling of meaning and desperation. Harrison Ford is still a good actor, other main participants are still not; predictability - maybe; enjoyableness - for sure; passion? - but then this here is the dark side. Be nice now.

Although I appreciate that this is more mature than the first and overall is better crafted, I still have the unfashionable opinion that A New Hope is superior.

While the first one was purely an adventure spectacle, the next episode of Star Wars dug deeper into deep characterization and eventually perfected the mythical landscape that the first one had already established.the most impressive mark about "Star Wars" episode V lied in the heart of its masterful storytelling,yet it was technically sophisticated as well.
the sequel was not only marked as the second best star wars movie,but also one the best sequel ever made.

Though there are more and better action sequences this time around (and a complimentary slow-paced storyline with the odd couple of Yoda and Luke), most of the characters start to feel a little stale (Han and Leia's budding romance doesn't do much to spice things up), Luke and Vader aside, as their passionate natures emerge and converge in their surprisingly personal climactic clash. An early contrivance (see Ben's ethereal directive to Luke) is made up for by the intriguingly uncertain ending.

"Wars not make one great." I forgot that Yoda was actually wise and respectable once, even when he was goofing around. He's a prime example of subverting expectations in a good way. "Empire" is generally considered to be the best one, but it has its flaws. Leia is too passive for my liking. The Empire gets outwitted too easily a few times. Lando gets treated poorly too, that chocking goes on for far too long. We're supposed to sympathise with the people who don't care about Bespin at all? Hmm.

Rewatched with Kevin Smith commentary. Nonstop action. Iconic scenes. Dagobah drags. Heroes mostly split up. More subtle John Williams score. As an adult I'm less impressed with the lightsaber battles but more enamored with the drama and plot progression. Fav scene: just before Luke faces off against Vader, Vader's got the upper ground with smoke rising behind him.

Actually this is the model for modern blockbusters. Nobody makes campy, goofy, adorable pics like the first one anymore. I think the principal difference is the darkness in conception, and money. Everything looks better, fuller, more real. And the peculiarity of Yoda is a masterstroke - not only in his humor but in his commitment to the spirit.

Slight improvement on its predecessor. It is true, on the other hand, that I haven't seen the film since more or less the time of release. As a Ukrainian Jew born in Philadelphia in 1923, Kershner's affinities with the background of my own father give me some reason to believe he might well have been a character I'd find interesting, but in fact I know almost nothing about him. So perhaps one day I'll try watching the film again, or maybe I'm better just to give STAKEOUT ON DOPE STREET a shot.

Doubtlessly benefits from the dedicated direction of Irvin Kershner: Lucas himself inevitably falls back on crude, childish characterisation, hamfisted dialogue and "cute" sidekicks, as if he can't believe he could offer anything from Star Wars that's worth the attention of those over 12 years old. This proves him wrong.
How's that for a backhanded compliment.

The darkest of the Star Wars trilogy. The Empire Strikes Back bring in some great and memorable characters. Aswell as this it gives u more of an insight into the existing characters particuarly Han Solo and also shows Luke Skywalker start 2 make the move from boy to man and closer to becoming a Jedi. This doesn't have the same level of nostalgia as A New Hope but it does have the immortal line
"I am your father" which has become iconic for a generation

Wherein we learn a little something more about The Force and a big something more about Luke Skywalker's parentage, but the main idea seems to be to lay the groundwork for another Star Wars sequel rather than make any real headway. The moviemakers pretty well annihilate all narrative in a rumpus-room atmosphere of war games, Halloween costumes, model spaceships, and toy monsters

Introduced the world to the notion that complete movies can be trailers for the third in a trilogy of films (see also Back to the Future and Pirates of the ...).

Probably the best made Star Wars movie, with the best directing, the best acting and the best dialogue. However being in the middle of the trilogy affects it, as it's not quite as grand and as epic as the other two films. We also meet Lando Clarissian - the only "black guy" in the galaxy. Until the new trilogy, at least. That's gotta be worth something.

It's hard for me to choose which I like better between this and A New Hope. They are both such great movies. I like how much more mature this one feels and I like how they were willing to take the risk of ending the movie with a perilous situation. I give the nod to A New Hope though because the end feels just a little too much like a gateway to the third. So while this one is probably the better overall movie, I think A New Hope is a better stand alone movie so it just edges it out.

Rewatched for the first time in 20-some years. I had zero recollection of Lando, was surprised by how comedic the Yoda encounter was, and I could've sworn this film's first half was all about their run-in with Jabba. Interesting just how film-2-of-a-trilogy this is; it wouldn't work as an introduction,and it barely even has an ending. Halfway through it just clicks and becomes fun movie magic from one scene to the next.

A vast improvement over its predecessor, the second installment in the saga is still pretty silly but offers a workmanlike, crisply entertaining piece of mainstream storytelling. After a problematic first half hour, the parallel storylines grow increasingly interesting and Kershner (obviously more talented than Lucas) handles them with considerable skill while the ending surprisingly packs an emotional wallop. Luke's blandness is outweighed by the colorfulness of Solo, Yoda and the droids.

Superb continuation of the STAR WARS saga is almost breathlessly exciting - and one-ups the original by giving its cast of characters far more complex motivations and interpersonal relationships. If the plottier moments occasionally bog things down - especially in the middle - there is so much else to compensate, it really doesn't matter (including the introduction of Yoda, a beautifully realised and performed character, thanks to Frank Oz). A wonderful, classic fantasy.

I will freely admit that my rating of this film is entirely biased by my childhood obsession with Star Wars. That said, I think this is the only one that can stand up to the original. Every subsequent film (including Force Awakens) falls short. Some very short. Perhaps the reason it is so good is that the good guys don't win. Luke loses his arm and barely escapes alive, Han is frozen, 3PO is in pieces, etc.

Lucas's sequel to his expansive universe was deservingly met with critical acclaim. The Empire Strikes Back continued its strong narrative and exciting world, and dives deeper into every single character, fleshing them out further to how we know them today. Along with a gritty tone that was quite risky, faster pace, and much improved affects, Lucas's vision for this movie was ahead of its time, perfectly setting up the final act of his trilogy and establishing the Star Wars brand as a whole.

The true masterpiece of the Star Wars Saga and my favorite. The performances and, therefore, characters are much more nuanced here. The film also takes valuable time to do some world building and mythology development and it makes the already well-textured world from A New Hope all the more deep and arresting. The reveal at the end is by far one of the most iconic twists in film history. Near flawless, ESB is a prominent dot on the timeline of modern Western culture and is a must-see.

Considered to be the best Star Wars film ever made, Empire Strikes Back is a darker,more foreboding sequel to Star Wars: A New Hope where the rebels are reeling and the Empire is hunting them to the far reaches of the galaxy. Luke travels to Dagobah to learn from the Jedi Master Yoda. Luke must confront Darth Vader on Cloud City and this is the first appearance of the Bounty Hunter Bobba Fett. Definitely check out if you enjoy the Star Wars films.

One of the best Star Wars movies, but I find it hard to say why. I think because we get so much variety and it's all well done. The battle on the ice world of Hoth, the chases through space, Luke's training on the swamp world Dagobah, and the finale on the cloud city of Bespin. The characters are all developed a bit more and we're left with an uncertain ending and waiting to see how it would be resolved.

Classic Star Wars entry has an emotionally satisfying split narrative. If a New Hope is arguably the perfect "pulp" movie..ESB is a genuine masterpiece-gratifying the desires for fast-paced escapism, while providing an environment in which the story slows to a crawl to allow for greater character development. And John Williams is even better here, introducing Vader's theme as well as more inspired compositions.

It keeps all the important aspects from the first film: the wonderment, awe, and awesome effects. What puts this above and beyond is the attention to the characters and a darker tone which gives this emotional resonance beyond typical Hollywood fare. This may not have had the industry-shaking effects of the original but it showed that Blockbusters can be smart, character-driven affairs where the effects and characters work hand-in-hand to tell a great story.

Saw this when the re-releases came out in the 90's as a tiny person. It irrevocably changed my fantasy universe, along with all the Star Wars films. It remains an uncommonly well-directed, suspenseful and magical film, the best of the Star Wars series, and therefore the best in a series that's a point of basic pleasure and nostalgia in who I was growing up. I rewatch the series at key points in my life, and never fail to enjoy it despite its ubiquity. Go for Despecialized.

A major departure from the original Star Wars, but Episode V only adds to the series and builds up the world and characters. Even more than Episode IV, this is a seamless blend of adventure, drama, and fairy tale.

The Empire Strikes back was arguably before its time, not only because it was a sequel that was arguably better than the original, but also because it featured one of the greatest plot twists in cinema history and was a rare case where the good guys didn't win outright. Add in the same exceptional visuals and characters from the first film and you have another instant classic.

The best of the entire series, although I may be a bit biased as this was one of the first films I ever saw on the big screen. It still holds up, unlike the original and Return of the Jedi, which have not aged well.

Empire is the rare exception where the sequel is better than the original. It has a bigger scope and darker themes, but ultimately is the most entertaining Star Wars.
