Not for me really. Every single action scene was pouring with rain. Every single talkng scene is mumbly with no enthusiasm. There were some cool aspects but I really struggled to stay focused on the dialogue.

I thought this was edge of the seat material from the moment the curtains opened. Action from beginning to end, great story line and amazing special effects that still hold up in 2020.

I have just rewatched all 11 movies and my mind still has not changed. Over and over again people reiterate that Empire is the best movie and you are not a true Star Wars fan if you don't agree. Well, I am 45 years old and have seen every movie on its Cinema release date except the original because I was too young. I have always been an avid fan and have rewatched all the movies many times. However, my mind never changes. This is the most exciting film in the whole series. Let's face it the Empire fans have already made up their minds that the next Star Wars film will not be as good before they even see it.

Personally, I always welcome more Star Wars films. The more the better. Keep them coming.

The video quality has been brought up to a near 1970's quality and after a while you start taking it for granted.

This is an educational series with narration all the way through, in near chronological order with clear maps showing how the front line of the battles moved around europe, Africa and asia.

There has been unfair reviews saying that the series favours the British efforts of the war and perhaps it does as the series was probably compiled in Britain. You have to remember though that they are only covering the footage that they have from the war and Britain was fighting the war in Europe single handedly for a couple of years, whilst fighting in Africa and Asia. The red army probably played a bigger part towards defeating Germany and to be fair this series does cover this quite well in 2 whole episodes.

History buffs will enjoy the footage but criticise small details that are incorrect. However, if you have limited knowledge of the war and the order of some of the main events then this is a good place to start to understand the history.
