The Unknown Poster Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Star Wars reviews are all over the place. I might have accidentally seen a major spoiler in a "headline". Be forewarned. Im a spoiler junkie but trying to refrain til I see the movie on Friday. One thing I've seen a few times from the non-spoilers is, the final shot of the movie is the best final shot of the series. I have an idea of what it is...very excited.

FrostyWinnipeg Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Not too surprised fan reviews are saying it's 3rd best in the series. Only have to beat the prequels and Return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 There is a hint of "not as good as hoped" among some of the reviews. And since these "reviews" are the promised no-spoiler "first thoughts" from industry people inside the premiere screening, one could speculate the film isnt as good as these reviews make it sound. But you cant discount the ones that are raving about it. Probably the most consistent things i've heard are "it feels like Star Wars" and "Daisey Ridley nails it".

johnzo Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Seeing Star Wars on Friday. My company's taking us out. My expectations are high, I'm looking forward to high-fiving all my nerds, so I suspect it will be a crushing disappointment. Then I'll be trying to get tickets for a 70mm showing of the Hateful Eight on Xmas Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume your work just rented the entire theater and lets you bring guests to fill it up? I took a Vacation day this Friday to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I would pay a lot more than 22 bucks to watch in that environment for every single movie. Hell, I'd pay for some kinda "Season Ticket" for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 According to THR, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has now crossed the $100 million mark for North America in pre-sales tickets. That's $100 million before a frame of the finished film has been shown to the general public. Some are even speculating that it may hit $120 million before its release. For reference, the previous record for the pre-sales was set by 2012's "The Dark Knight" with $25 million. "The Dark Knight" went on to make $158 million on its opening weekend in North America. While I'm not foolish enough to think that "The Force Awakens" is set to make $632 million in North America on its opening weekend (which is four times the amount of "The Dark Knight"), I'm quite optimistic that it'll break the opening weekend record of $208.8 million, which was set earlier this year by "Jurassic World." When all said and done, I'm expecting a weekend box office haul of $250 million -- ambitious, to be sure, but given that the name is "Star Wars," I think it's an attainable goal.

I dont dislike how Wonder Woman looks but I wish they had made the actress bulk up a bit. She looks like a thin model type, not a strong, fit warrior type.

The Unknown Poster Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 He looks pretty awesome from the pics I've seen, a bit darker than you might expect if you like the comic version. The actor is Hawaiian. Jason Momoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
