Are these real? I decide to ask this here instead of going to Twitter and finding out. OMG, what. Are these enough? Does this mean 100%?

Better than ANH? Better than ESB? Best movie ever? It's going to beat Avatar, I know it....

I'm forgetting to breathe...
 
I don't understand why people keep saying Into Darkness is a retread of Wrath of Khan when it quite literally has, at most, two things that are connected to The Wrath of Khan: Khan, and the radiation chamber. The rest of the movie is very much it's own thing. It really perplexes me. But I suppose it fits into their narrative that all JJ can do is create poor man's versions of better movies.

Anyway, I may be bowing out of this thread soon as well, because while I enjoyed the spoilers we got, there are still some things I want the movie to still hold some uncertainty before I see it. I feel knowing the broad strokes of the plot, and a few significant moments (i.e., Han's death, which, anyone who knows Star Wars would have seen that coming the moment Harrison Fors agreed to reprise his role...), has been more than enough.

We'll see. I may not be able to help myself, and might peek back in again, but I don't know.

Yes, those are real, her first tweet before this was "Surrendering our phones to the Force"

So yes, that is real

Rest easy: #TheForceAwakens is 100% #StarWars, and something new. Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac: welcome.

Accurate sense of quality? No. Still bathing in the hype though.

THE GOOD: Kylo Ren is the coolest bad guy I’ve seen on screen in some time. His battles are some of the best in SW. Can’t wait for more.

Super interested in what this guy's "Bad" Section is going to be.

He says he isn't a critic... so I guess he can do more than just "impressions"


EDIT:

HAN SOLO: “Chewie, we’re home” - that scene hit me harder than I expected. Really, really well done. Welled up a lil’

EDIT AGAIN:

CAMEOS: So many nods to the Star Wars universe that real fans won’t get enough of.
 
"Awesome!!!!!" - Robert Liefeld

"Ranking: 1. Empire Strikes Back. 2. Force Awakens. 3. A New Hope. 4. Return of the Jedi. 5 - 8 Prequels. Thank you JJ. #TheForceAwakens" - Adam F. Goldberg

And Now the Bad…


Nick Robinson ‏@Nickrob 44s45 seconds ago

FINN: A lot of cool setups at first, but Finn is ultimately wasted in this movie. Takes a backseat to the old characters. Wanted more.
 
Yeah, I dunno who this Nickrob guy is, but I am just kinda spewing out impressions as I see them..

So, Just kinda take them as I post them.

"STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS is ok. I know it's poetry, I know it rhymes, but does every line have to rhyme with the last poem?" Faraci @devincf

"Need to see THE FORCE AWAKENS again to properly judge the film. Was practically shaking in my seat while it played." - Frosty
 
NickRob is cool. I trust his opinion. He works in film and isn't going to be swayed by hype.

CAMEOS: A lot of cool cameos, but a lot of lame ones. Lobot? Wuher? C’mon, seriously? I don’t give a rats ass where they are now.

EDIT: THIS MAKES ME SAD

Nick Robinson ‏@Nickrob 1m1 minute ago

BB-8. I was joking when I said he was gonna fall down stairs. But he does. Worse? 15 minutes of screentime. Not involved in the plot at all.

THE FORCE AWAKENS proves JJ Abrams is an auteur: once again we have great characters, propulsive fun, sort of shitty, dumb story. -Faraci

Devin not liking it is a good sign for the film.

1st Star Wars review: it was epic, awesome & perfect. The cast was stellar. JJ killed it!
 
Oh joy, Devin Faraci just posted his thoughts

Star Wars is back. That’s for damn sure.

This is what we loved about Star Wars. This is Star Wars.

and WHAT?!

CALISTA FLOCKHART: Can’t believe she’s even in this. It’s brief, but it’s a lame gag that just didn’t need to be done. Wish they didn’t.

I Dunno what to think about this review to be honest:
Nick Robinson ‏@Nickrob 1m1 minute ago

Overall, it’s a 5/10 movie. Some good. Some bad. A lot of it doesn’t earn it’s runtime. I won’t see it again, and am glad I saw it for free.
 
Were there flaws? Sure. Did they matter? Not one bit. The movie's heart is in the right place. It's 100% pure #starwars. #TheForceAwakens -Futureboy Chris Taylor

I can see there being backlash over Finn after how the American marketing hyped him up.

We started getting hints at that over the last couple of weeks, especially with the trailers.

But, there's two more movies left, so no worries. And more than wanting Finn to succeed, if the movie is good without him, so what. It would suck because he's African American, but remember that Finn was always intended to be the second to Rey.

A female protagonist was always the main objective.
