Scared to click until after tomorrow night

Definitely don't it needs a spoiler alert on it. I started reading but as soon as it started talking about the opening i closed it.

Yeah...as in 2 was a better story as 1 had more heart

They took TIW for 3 days then management stopped that. It is really interesting how they are handling this restaurant compared to others.

It just seems very disorganized. Like one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. SMH.

 

[minnie mum]

yeah we probably should pull back the reigns a little bit mentioning Oscar for a movie few have seen yet
looking forward to seeing it sunday....

Well, best picture may be a stretch. But the Toronto Star film critic, who almost never gives 4* to a blockbuster, headlined his review proclaiming the movie as the best in 2015. And this guy is usually really stingy with praise.

Don't do that...

If people want reviews they KNOW where to find them.

Please don't quote links

I saw that and found that interesting. 8 rotten tomatoes and everything else gave it good reviews. Currently sitting at 95%.

There are those that aren't going to like it because they don't like any Kind of fantasy, there are those that are gonna pan it because of some slight of some form of cultural sensitivity, and there are jack wagons who will give it a bad review just to be different.

Like not voting for babe Ruth or Willie mays in the hall of fame.

It's a critical success without a single human not on a payroll to see as yet.

Two groups of people are gonna be miserable for the next 5 years:

1. People who loathe Star Wars
2. George Lucas

I read some of the rotten tomatoes reviews and the positive ones stressed that the new characters are great and the movie is filled with a lot of emotions and it sets up well to follow...

The negatives are that its too rehashed. But honestly - that seems
To be from the artsy types that take movies a tad too seriously.

If you're worried about "lack of invention"...as one said...then you're just not gonna be into Star Wars much at all. The stories are basically common mythology...primal, simple and often predictable.

But when put together the right way - unforgettable.

Riian Johnson is the most cerebral of the upcoming directors...which is why he's got the next round.

Honesty...Disney hasn't made a bad move with this yet.
They need to not go avengers 2, ironman 3 or Thor 2 with it...

Don't get lazy and greedy.

Man, I dodged a bullet there. I just moved my AK day to 3/19. It had been 3/16. We haven't missed FOW yet.

Well, we are seven movies into the series. Anyone that doesn't anticipate some similarity has unrealistic expectations.

I agree wholeheartedly with this,I saw it this afternoon, it's the basic heroes journey there aren't that many ways that it hasn't been done before. From start to finish I was entertained. Was it TFA the best movie ever,no, but it is the best popcorn flick of the past 5/7 years. I would even go out on a limb and say it's the 2nd best Star Wars film, Empire being the best.

I have a feeling that I'll be 100% in agreement with your review in about 12-14 hours...

And I'll have my 8 year old there next to me with his stumpy little legs hanging off the chair...

That is worth more than i could ever put a value on...because it will be exactly like me seeing Jedi the first time with his grandparents that he will never meet.

If you want to believe that there's "magic" in both Disney and Star Wars...then that's it.

Hey! They haven't made us lock days months out yet...

DONT FALL INTO THE TRAP!!!

Right?

It would be like somebody writing a review for a James Bond movie and saying something like

"The movie is dumb because the audience knows he's a spy and the bad guy doesn't figure out until halfway into the movie...and the camera technique doesn't match up with Mr Smith Goes to Washington"

Ummm...ok
