Review
Greetings, fellow visitor. If you are looking for a proper review of this film that goes more in depth than this inferior review by me, check out the Redux - Special Edition by me, released four years later: http://officalmovienight.blogspot.com/2016/04/star-wars-return-of-the-jedi.html
While the film isn't as great as the first two films, it is not bad either. In a way, it's a good, but not great film. The film has the good effects and the climatic Duel (II) between father and son. The acting is as good as usual, with McDiarmid stealing the show, doing a good job and all. Then of course, we come to the Ewoks. Now they do hinder the film, but they do not absolutely ruin the film. They are "cute" and odd, but they do not make the film any more horrible. The film may not be dark, but how dark can you get after Empire Strikes Back? The film was dark and all, you can't get any more dark without being pitch dark...Anyway, the film is good, as it ends the Original Trilogy, one of the greatest trilogies of all time (Before I forget: I recommend Returning to Jedi, another documentary on this film, does a lot of good stuff)
Overall, I give it 9 out of 10 stars.
