    Like my other post, this is about a movie but about probably the best or probably the most anticipated movie of the year, which is Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens. Part of the huge anticipation is the mystery that’s shrouding the movie itself. We got the teaser trailer and we have the official trailer, but those trailers show basically nothing, which is good. It increases the curiosity within the mass audience and the fans themselves. This movie is going to be huge, is basically what every box office analysts are saying. This movie is estimated to make 635 million dollars in the opening weekend alone. The movie is basically going to break all records including fastest 1 billion dollar milestone and highest grossing movie of all time. Anyone else excited? Why do I even have to ask, because it’s an obvious yes :)

    I'm curious to see it even as someone who has absolutely zero interest in the previous movies, so I think what they are doing is working, at least for me that is. The older movies seem to be more niche whereas just judging by the cinematography I've seen in the trailers it looks like something even I would enjoy as part of the rest of the world that somehow still doesn't get Star Wars and the hype behind it.

    I can't wait to see the old cast back together. I love the original cast! The prequals were so awful and the actors in it were just as bad as the movie. The only movie I didn't lose interest in was the third one because all I cared about was seeing how it tied to the original movies. I'm excited about SWFA and seeing how the story continues from our favorite characters.

    They are really pushing the Sat Wars merch for the holidays. I went to Target yesterday and there was Star Wars toys on every aisle. Everything from key chains to cards and to talking Darth Vaders. This movie is going to be huge.

    I agree. It will be huge. Probably the largest grossing movie in history. That's my prediction anyway. I mean it was so big when the original came out that it was in theaters for over a year I think. And now you have the original cast back together with J.J. Abrahams directing. He did an awesome job with the Star Trek movies. I don't see why this won't be a huge success.

    I know what you mean and I think it's crazy since the movie isn't even out yet. I'm sure it will just get even crazier once it is out and inevitably makes it billions of dollars in revenue.

    I saw this movie and I do not think it was very good although some people may disagree. I felt the story was pretty empty and not very well explained.

    It's an enjoyable movie, but it got a lot of flaws in it that's hard to ignore. The action's great, the visual effect's great, the cinematography's great, the humor's good, but the story and the plot is quite lackluster. A lot of plot holes and like what most people have said, the story feels really identical to A New Hope.

    I think that the movie was pretty decent. Most people flocked to watch it due to nostalgia, and it being the first Star Wars film in almost a decade. I don't think the sequel will see similar numbers.

    I didn't like the movie at all. I definitely think the movie could have been better. Like many, I went to see it because of the hype. Captain America Civil War has to be my favorite movie so far.

    For the price and hype that it got it failed to deliver, but that was to be expected considering how many people were talking about the game. I felt like the movie was pretty good, I personally liked it as a Star Wars fan.

    I saw it and I'm not a Star Wars fan at all and I enjoyed it immensely. It made me finally understand why everyone hypes up Star Wars so much as it gave me a feeling of watching a movie as a kid again, and because of that I would rank it above any marvel movie especially recent ones which in my opinion has become a bit dull.

    I never saw the movie. I have good memories of the original movies. I feel no need to see this one, even when it comes to television.
