Awsome movie
This movie, and the other part of the trilogy, as well, are the best of Lucas Film.
This time the movie was re-edited and digital improvement helping you to see in the new format of DVD and TV.
I bought this one and the other of the trilogy to have all the original in my house... and because now are seeing them by my son.
100+ Words on a truly great movie!
Not to get into the whole "Clerks" which movie was better argument here, but I always liked "Return of The Jedi" better then "Empire Strikes Back". The reason I love "Jedi" is that within this film you get everything that you saw in the first two within one movie. The amazing opening act at Jabba's palace and the skiff battle. Luke becoming a Jedi master on Degobah. Then the amazing third act. Luke and Vader's final battle, the battle on Endor with Han, Leia, Chewie, and the Ewoks against the storm troopers. And of course in my opinion the greatest space battle of the Star Wars saga. I remember when I was a little kid, watching that space battle and how I was amazed by it. That was one of the first great movie experiences for me as a movie lover. ... Read More
2 stars for comedy value
I've been watching the SW movies again lately out of nostalgia. I don't think I;ve seen any of them since I was 10, except the 7-hour long toy commercial known as the Prequel Trilogy. This one, ROTJ, sucks. Terrible acting, horrible dialogue, plot full of gaping holes, cheesy effects, all of that. Cool when I was a kid, worthless now. I did get several laughs out of it, especially during the climactic battle, during which the "writers" spontaneously invent new rules for the force:
- If a jedi slices off your hand, it will mess up your whole program, a mortral wound (exception, if the jedi doing the slicing is a bad guy, no problem, you get a robot hand and you're good to go)
- If a jedi is firing lightning at you from ... Read More
A great ending to a great trilogy!
So what about the Ewoks, it's always been for kids. And this is the weakest of the three, only cause the rest are so great! See it.
To restore freedom to the galaxy
RETURN OF THE JEDI was the STAR WARS film which thrilled me most as a kid. I loved the ewoks, though now I find them to be a bit irritating. I loved the scenes in Jabba's palace, though now I think the use of Jim Henson's Creature Workshop was a bit over the top. I loved and still love the fast paced action sequences and the climactic lightsaber duel at the end. Looking back, I now prefer EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, A NEW HOPE, and even REVENGE OF THE SITH to this one. But JEDI still ranks high in my book, if for no other reason, it was just downright fun. And it still is.
The Special Edition of this film did little more than bog it down with a lot of useless junk. I refer primarily to the musical (using that word rather loosely) interlude ... Read More
