3/4
“It's got Bob Dylan as an actor and a Bob Dylan soundtrack. As a matter of fact, this may be the movie's biggest selling point in the end. Maybe the movie should have been called Pat and Billy and Bob. ” –

4/4
“If the Star Wars trilogy has a drawback, it is the potential reinforcement of the attitude that Pop Art is Life and the Good can conquer Evil with a number of high-powered Zaps. That aside, the trilogy is superior entertainment.” –
