As much as I love ESB, it is actually refreshing to see some deviation from the usual "ESB is perfect" attitude.
It's just my opinion and I am not stating it as fact, but IMO, it a perfect film for its genre.
I guess what I am trying to say is all movies that I rank at the top of my favorites of all-time are perfect, IMO. If they were flawed movies or had some flaws, then I wouldn't revisit them so many times and they wouldn't be my favorites.
Movies like Star Wars, Empire, Jaws, Raiders, The Godfather, Field of Dreams, Hoosiers, Rocky, Back to the Future are all perfect movies, IMO, as they are at the top of my list of all-time favorites. Honestly, whenever I watch them, I really can't find a flaw that really takes me out of the movie or makes me shake my head.
Again, I am not trying to sway someone's opinion about the movie, as I respect if you see flaws in it. The only movie I truly love and is at the top of my all-time favorites that has a flaw is Superman: The Movie, as I was always very suspect of him turning the earth backwards as that felt like a cop out as he could do anytime after that.
