Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The Empire Strikes Back is a technological triumph, a cornucopia of intergalactic tchotchkes.
– David Ansen,
Newsweek,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
It is a visual extravaganza from beginning to end, one of the most visionary and inventive of all films.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
The total effect is fast and attractive and occasionally amusing. Like a good hot dog, that's something of an achievement in a field where unpalatable junk is the rule.
– Judith Martin,
Washington Post,
22 Jan 2002
rotten:
Irvin Kershner directed the actors this time around, and without the benefit of Lucas's personal affection they seem stiffer, more clenched.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
30 May 2007
fresh:
The Empire Strikes Back is a worthy sequel to Star Wars, equal in both technical mastery and characterization, suffering only from the familiarity with the effects generated in the original and imitated too much by others.
– James Harwood,
