Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
93%
4/4
“The most compelling thing about "Empire" has nothing to do with effects. It's Mr. Woke-Up-on-the-Wrong-Side-of-the-Millennium himself, Darth Vader. As he gets deeper and more devious, so does the whole trilogy.” –

2.5/4
“The plot is emotionally complex, and most of the songs are discordant. You don't have to be a graduate of the Sorbonne to understand this, but it would help if you're a graduate of the fourth grade.” –

2.5/4
““A Complete Unknown” doesn’t pretend to have answers about where Dylan’s sound came from but, by focusing on a tight frame, it’s able to hint at the influences and ideas the songwriter was taking in. ” –

“"Kingdom" is an entirely new story. Parts of it will hit differently if you've seen its predecessors but you could also make this your first "Apes" movie without missing a beat.

“The humor is, as the screenwriters have gleefully acknowledged, "juvenile," but the performances are vivid and, honestly, I'd watch a whole movie starring deadpan Bill Camp as Curlie, who rents the women the car that leads to all of their adventures.” –
