To be honest, I'm just happy it's better than the prequels....at least from the reviews and scores I'm seeing. As someone who watched episode IV in theaters back in '77, I just wanted another movie that brought me back to that universe and reminded me why I love Star Wars. The prequels were a huge letdown for me personally...they just didn't capture that same feeling the original movies did. Even if TFA was just a good movie, not great, but it managed to capture the essence, the feel of those original movies, while telling a whole new story, I'd be perfectly happy.

Thanks to Roger Moore(Movie Nation) who calls the movie "A glib fascimile".

Just went down to Leicester Square where the preniere will he held and got myself a wristband for entry to the pens. Number 133. Hope that means a good spot.
Told me to come back in a few hours, so I'm going back home now.

Fate has chosen to have my cat wake me up at 3:30am just in time to watch the reviews spill in. The force is strong with her

That's similar to what Zaki Hassan was saying months ago. That renewed confidence among the fanbase is what Disney is gunning for with Force Awakens -- perhaps moreso than ticket returns. It doesn't need to be great, just decent. As long as it's "decent", the franchise will be off to an optimistic start.
Here's a what if scenario I posit to gaffers on this board. What would happen if Lucas hadn't sold to Disney but had announced episode VII and beyond to be directed and written by him. How different would this film had been? How would the news be received? Would the cast be different? Would the castmembers who signed on have lobbied to land their roles under Lucas' direction? What would the world premiere be like in comparison to what took place last night, etc? I was intrigued when I read that Andy Serkis and Max Von Sydow had been cast, and was even more relieved when I learned that the main leads were over the age of 21.

If it's good please come to the paradeplatz and let everybody know. Most probably i'll be be there with my wife drinking hot wine (Christmas shopping break).
Going to watch it later on Saturday.
So, I'll just walk over the paradeplatz screaming like a maniac how the movie was? mhh..let me check with my fiancée if she thinks that's a good idea and if she wants to do that lol..
Yep, looks like we got another Phantom Menace on our hands. What a shame.

If she loves you, she'll join. Then me and my wife will join. The police will arrest us. I won't be able to see the movie on saturday and go crazy.
Yeah probably you're right, on second thought not a brilliant idea.

So now I have a ticket for 1030am and 330pm tomorrow (I'm in Australia).
I will go see my sister who just had a baby in between sessions.
It's going to be the best day off work ever!

good new for you, many of the reviews I have read stated specifically that she is spectacular. The highlight of the film.
Yes folks, its seems we do not have a Hayden Christensen 2.0 on our hands.

There gooes Lucas' argument that critics always hated on Star Wars (yes, he actually said that once).
by the time I woke up all the best seats for Friday were taken so I decided to choose superior conditions over seeing it 20 hours earlier.DAT RT RATING
Hype just blew me up GAF.......pull me back!!! I'm taking off and need to be here for the movie Saturday but I'm taking off!!!
RT rating is meaningless. It's just a (skewed) measure of critical consensus, not the actual quality of the movie.
Keep your hype in check and you can't be dissapointed.

Rotten review number 2 inc.
Average review score up to 8.6 though. (was 8.3 back when dropped from 100%)

Top Critic so probably a decent review. Will read.
Well that would at least make an amazing "look how two gaffers met" thread..
I remember Hayden Christensen being my favorite from the PT back in the day. But I rewatched the second half of Revenge of the Sith last night and he had some bad acting at places.
Man 30 minutes to go and I'm still not at the cinema.
