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

I'll say this to non-spoiler about #StarWars #TheForceAwakens. You'll laugh more than you expect. And you'll be hit harder than you expect.

Everything I could possibly say about #StarWars #TheForceAwakens is a spoiler, so I will say that it's super fun and beautifully shot!

Also Kylo Ren is the coolest part of the movie (lots of cool parts, but he's my favorite). Adam Driver kills it. #StarWars #TheForceAwakens

Just got the first #StarWarsForceAwakens review from Chris @Hardwick while exiting the theater… "It was ****ing incredible!"

Star Wars: The Force Awakens spoke to my every emotion. Most of them good, a few not, but overall it was an amazing, overwhelming experience

The Force Awakens is soooo Star Wars, and Daisy Ridley is the business, and #StarWars

From comedy to costumes, fights to fx to overall feel, J.J. Abrams has created a thoroughly old-fashioned movie #StarWarsForceAwakens
— Steven Zeitchik (@ZeitchikLAT) December 15, 2015
Awesome. The Force has indeed awakened. I can't wait for what comes next. #StarWarsForceAwakens
— Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) December 15, 2015
Not going to say much till I see it again but rest assured THE FORCE AWAKENS is the best STAR WARS since 1983…maybe 1980.
— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) December 15, 2015
THE FORCE AWAKENS proves JJ Abrams is an auteur: once again we have great characters, propulsive fun, sort of shitty, dumb story.
— devin faraci (@devincf) December 15, 2015
JJ did it. #StarWarsForceAwakens
— Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) December 15, 2015
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS is a strong, promising kickoff. As a standalone, I'd rank it #3 in the series.

#ForceAwakens delivers on every level.

#StarWars #TheForceAwakens is propulsive, funny, exciting, and Adam Driver is an incredible new villain. It's mostly great. Mostly.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to spoil anything. Having seen the movie myself yesterday I can confirm this movie is awesome! I want to see it again. Believe the reviews and opinions. Best movie of the year and maybe even the best one in the entire franchise. But I might be biased because this one is so new and fresh.

man… my husband said we could go see this after it’s been out for like a month… but now I really want to go see it now… I mean honestly whose to say after a month the theaters will be any less packed? might as well just go asap…

Well. Here’s how I see it. You can sit through one of the earlier showings (which will be packed) and people will cheer and laugh and clap. Or you could wait a month and will essentially have to stay off social media, for fear it will be spoiled to you, either in pictures, reviews or other. But why wait a month? I plan to do a spoiler free review and a spoiler heavy one, if I can have the stamina for that.

I don’t know… he probably won’t wait that long… but while I don’t like to be in a packed theater most of the time… for movies like this it’s actually pretty fun… like you said it’s like everyones in on it together and it kind of makes the experience even more awesome…

Yeah there’s a difference between a packed theater, and an event-type theater experience. I feel as though this film will be the latter.

Oh boy has he. I was expecting overwhelmingly positive, but the fact that most fans and critics seem to feel they’ve experienced something up there with the original trilogy, at the very least, fills me with… I dunno. Not relief. Maybe just more anticipation? I think I’ll have to see it twice before reviewing.
