I know it actually got a mixed reaction by critics back in 1980.

I know it actually got a mixed reaction by critics back in 1980. At least Leonard Maltin was wise to give it a 4 star rating. Same with Roger Ebert. |

I actually didn't like it as a kid, it depressed me quite a bit. It's my absolute favorite of the entire series now though.

The cliffhanger pissed me off in 1980.

Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:
The Empire Strikes Back - 4 out of 4 stars
"Smashing sequel to Star Wars manages to top the original in its embellishment of leading characters' personalities, truly dazzling special effects (which earned a special Oscar) and nonstop spirit of adventure and excitement."

Star Wars - 3.5 out of 4
The Empire Strikes Back - 4 out of 4
Return of the Jedi - 3.5 out of 4
The Phantom Menace - 3 out of 4
Attack of the Clones - 2 out of 4
Revenge of the Sith - 3 out of 4

The cliffhanger pissed me off in 1980. Yeah, I seem to recall, or at least it seems to me, that "cliffhangers" were not a very common thing, back then... Especially in Movies, and at the end of a season for TV Shows... It was not good business to do that, and people hated waiting... I remember how painful it was to wait for THREE MONTHS to find out what happened to Captain Picard as "LOCUTUS of Borg" on Star Trek: The Next Generation... Now EVERYTHING seems to end on a cliffhanger. And for the record... I never disliked the movie... It's has always been my favorite of all of them. But, I will agree, it ended on a sad note... and I didn't want to wait, to know what happened to Han.

I watched the OT so much, I no longer casually throw on ESB because of Degobah's slowness & its boggy aesthetics. I need to make time for the movie now.

Well on the ratings on IMDB, 1,4% have given it a 1 out of 10. So there are people who dislike the movie.
