Also Patton Oswalt gave it his endorsement. I think I trust him more than any other person I can think of that it's actually good.

And without spoiling it, I can say that #StarWarsForceAwakens has the BEST final shot of any Star Wars film. Wow.

So that pretty much confirms the supposed plot leak that came out a few weeks ago...

How incomprehensible will Harry Knowles's review of this movie be?


It will be so gloriously awful. It will go on for 49,000 words -- half of which will be about his childhood and what Star Wars meant to him, the rest will be a detailed summary of the plot then that habitual liar making it sound like he and JJ Abrams are best buddies. And there will be spelling and punctuation errors galore. He'll probably get the title wrong -- he's been calling it The Force Unleashed in articles. It will be worse than the legendary Blade II review.

I have no idea what you're talking about and I don't want to know. Only leak I've heard about this is JJ being interviewed by Kimmel and saying that "This" is the first spoken word in the film.

Ive read the plot (intentionally). Won't spoil of course, looks pretty solid guys. I definitely have some nits to pick, and I think most people will agree, but we'll wait for the official release to discuss.

The only tweet I've seen from a person that I know for sure is a serious Star Wars fan is Patton Oswalt. He his Tweet: "JJ did it!"

Chris Hardwick is a huge Star Wars fan and someone tweeted that leaving the theater Chris Hardwick said "It was fricking incredible!"

Collider did a nice job gathering non-spoiler reactions.

A couple of the Collider guys were there last night and the rest of the main crew will see it tonight at the press screening. They are going to put up a spoiler free review sometime before Thursday. I trust them enough that I may listen.

There are always going to be self important dickheads like Devin feraci who say it sucks..after all he loved fantastic 4 so his word is gold.

This movie is about bringing fun and wonder back to the star wars fans...it's also about introducing the new characters and setting the stage for act 2 and three to come.

I hope this movie is as fun as it looks. Many tweeters who saw it said this movie has "heart"...that is huge for me.

I'm not looking for complicated plot in this one...just a straight forward fun adventure film that recapture the heart and tone of the OT. By most accounts from people who saw it last night that is what it is.

Yeah, and everyone is saying Rey is the scene stealer, so that's fantastic news. By far the most boring character in the original Star Wars is Luke, and he's not bad since he's highly relatable, but the face that they've made the main character highly likeable from the start is a huge plus here.

Just make it straight forward, fun, and don't do shite tons of explaining. Give us great characters, a decent story, and heart and the fan base will eat it up. The prequels lacked all of these entirely and were clearly made simply for the money. Getting the actual fans to make the films now will be fantastic, and Lucas should have let other film makers play in his universe decades ago.

That's funny? I agree with Ryno for once. With Star Wars, I don't want an overly complicated plot. Hell, even The Avengers plot was simple and it was fantastic.


Plus, with Rian Johnson coming up to write the next two, all we need is the stage to be set. Who the major players are, what's at stake, and a fun ride in the first act.

The title says expect reactions to the movie. No where in the title or OP did it say it was spoiler free. Might I add that you even have the words spoilers in a post above.
