Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi: Critic Reviews

The old Star Wars gang are back doing what they've done before, but this time with a certain evident boredom.

Jedi couldn't end the Star Wars trilogy on a happier note!

Marvelous!

Mark Hamill is particularly good in this film.

The film is a huge, rousing finale that resolves all plot twists, settles all accounts, reunites old friends and sweeps to a climax that all but blows the theater apart!

With its feints at horror and pathos, the third Star Wars film is the most Disney-esque in its emotional outline, yet that outline is buried beneath an obnoxiously hyped-up pace that reduces the emotions to rubble.

Reasonably fast paced for its 133-minute length, a visual treat throughout.

Let's not pretend we're watching art!

A mediocre Star Wars is better than no Star Wars at all.

The acting in Return of the Jedi is stronger than in the previous films.

It is not as exciting as Star Wars itself, which had the advantage of novelty. But it is better and more satisfying than The Empire Strikes Back...

Ewok-filled finale less Force-ful than previous.

A fragilidade de Marquand como diretor e a crescente infantilizacao da narrativa sao facilmente constataveis, mas ainda assim o filme consegue fechar satisfatoriamente a trilogia original.

Return is such a dud that no amount of [Special Edition] reworking could have saved it.

The finale to the saga's first chapter wobbles from time to time and the mythology grows a little woolly, but that spectacular conclusion is hard to resist.

The space battles are well-staged and various loose narrative threads are pulled together neatly.

The third Star Wars film, and the sixth in the series, begins with a bang as our heroes try to wrap up the threads left hanging at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.

In scope and ambition, Jediresembles nothing so much as the next level of a computer game, with a new environment, new gadgets and new creatures.

The problems with Jedi cannot be fixed even with the best digital software in the galaxy: the weak story, the bad performances, the burp jokes, and Luke's bizarre-looking hair mop.

First-class entertainment.

Return of the Jedi est en bout de ligne juste assez satisfaisant [...] pour que cette trilogie se boucle comme etant marquante.

Among the cinema's most iconic villains — the Wicked Witch of the West; Hannibal Lecter; Nosferatu… — Vader's story arc stands strikingly alone in its climax.

...Lucas's first serious decline into juvenilia for the Star Wars saga.

fantastic

Scores with its imaginative sweep, colorful characters, and ambitious mythology
