Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi Reviews

The Force was always with it, and time, though not entirely kind, still affirms that most important truth.

Full Review | Original Score: A

This installment is deemed by some fans to be the best of the first Star Wars trilogy in technical accomplishment and narrative involvment, but other critics disagree.

Full Review | Original Score: B

Ewok-filled finale less Force-ful than previous.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

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

| Original Score: 4/5

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...

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

Full Review

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

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

Full Review

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

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.

Full Review

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

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.

Full Review

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

First-class entertainment.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4

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

| Original Score: B+

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.
