a NON-spoiler review. repeat NON-spoiler. I trust these blokes. and the fit bird lol

Yea Collider said they'd post a spoiler one on Friday and couldn't talk about the movie period until tonight because of the embargo.

 

[Ounceman]

All the reviews ive seen have been overwhelmingly positive so far.

 

[Big Kola]

Yeah I don't think this movie will get Oscar love, but it seems to be a movie worth the wait.

I am going try around 1130 on Saturday, I think I am going to get caught in the chaos but I am going to be optimistic.

Reading the spoilers has killed my hype for this film. It's the hunger games in space.

Never watched hunger games anyway so...

 

[Big Kola]

Im conflicted coz i got IMAX screening tickets for Sunday afternoon , but my Sister has midnight tonight tickets on deck if i want them for a regular screen, smh.

Are they reserved seats?

Already got tix for Saturday...avoiding all social media beginning Friday evening

 

[Broddie]

Star Wars fandom is WOAT (even worse than trekkies). You guys will not get to see this in theater house with only regular decent folk and 0 SW hardcores for at least the first 3 weeks.

 

[Broddie]

How the fuk you going to be in your mid twenties and never had seen Empire Strikes Back a day in your life? That's fucking crazy to me.

And it will have been spoiled a few dozen times over by then. I'm gonna have to take my chances with the fanboys.

It's already being spoiled everywhere and its not even out yet. Since I will never watch it I don't give a fuck I'm just laughing at how nonchalantly people are just dropping the info. Truth is no matter at what point in the movie's release there will always be spoilers around.

Its up to you as a potential viewer to either completely stay away from anything about the movie before watching it or engage an existing conversation about it that will probably end up spoiling it for you before you see it.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review Roundup (Spoiler Free)

Of course, a lucky few have already seen the eagerly anticipated first instalment in Disney's new age of Star War and delivered their verdicts. We've gathered up the scores and excerpts from each review and placed them in a handy list.

Take a look below to get a good overview of the critical reception, offering you an idea if it's worthy of the hype. And don't worry, it's spoiler free! For a wider view on the game's critical reception, head to GameSpot sister site Metacritic.

Film: Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Distributor: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Release Date: December 17 (UK), December 18 (US)

Total Film -- 5/5

"This, undoubtedly, is the movie that fans wanted, the movie that fans deserve...Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be viewed and passed down for many years to come." -- Jamie Graham [Full review]

The Guardian -- 5/5

"The Force Awakens is ridiculous and melodramatic and sentimental of course, but exciting and brimming with energy and its own kind of generosity. What a Christmas present." -- Peter Bradshaw [Full review]

USA Today

"The Force Awakens reveals surprising connections...and sets a strong tone for what comes next in Star Wars lore. Best of all? It’ll make you feel like a kid being introduced to something truly special once again." -- Brian Truitt [Full review]

Telegraph -- 5/5

"You wouldn’t describe the choreography as snazzy, but the dramatic stakes are dizzying. Never mind the spacecraft and explosions. Two beautiful faces in tight close up, dramatically lit and blazing with emotion? That’s what cinema is for." -- Robbie Collin [Full review]

Time Out -- 5/5

We're back to a galaxy far, far away in J.J. Abrams rousing, pitch-perfect triumph—a feast of nostalgic blockbustering. -- Joshua Rothkopf [Full review]

Empire -- 4/5

"This is filmmaking on an enormous scale and it packs a planet-sized punch, launching a new generation of characters who – by the end – take a place next to Han, Leia and the rest. Star Wars is back, and this is just the beginning." -- Helen O'Hara [Review roundup]

The A.V. Club -- B Grade

"The Force Awakens never reaches the heights of escapism Lucas once did, mostly because its pleasures are echoes; by the time our posse walks into a saloon that’s just the cantina in a nicer neighborhood, the déjà vu factor begins to feel as much like a drawback as a benefit." -- A.A. Dowd [Full review]

Screen Crush -- 7/10

"Although Star Wars has always been about the past, The Force Awakens is ironically at its best when it looks the future." -- Matt Singer [Full review]

New York Post -- 2.5/5
