I see it has Donnie Yen in it, an excellent martial artist. Havent seen him in anything English yet (though did see him have a good fight with Mike Tyson in one of the Ip Man films, which I recommend if you like your kung fu).
Reviews seem good, people say the fans of the original 3 will probably be the bigger fans of this one. Looking forward to it!
Saw this Wednesday night and I was absolutely blown away, 100% I agree it really was better than TFA.
The silly bits you mention (walking in the city, ship taking off) I think were brilliant and is what TFA should have done for the nostalgia. The whole thing from start to finish was, for me, just brilliant I really did enjoy it and I watched the sequels today.
It was meant to be a stand alone movie but I thought it came across as Star Wars Episode 3.5, but that's not a bad thing. Can't wait to take my little boy to see it tomorrow but unsure how he will take it.
Saw it on Thursday, loved it though you just about notice that being a war movie, it is a bit grim. Don't want to give any spoilers away, but you don't see many war movies with full-on happy endings.
Thought the acting was decent, though the very best performance was by the great Peter Cushing, who's been dead for 22 years ! I liked the little blink-and-miss surprises too. Great last 30 seconds as well, ah, the wonders of modern technology...
Seen it twice so far. It was much better the second time as I could watch the film instead of being flabbergasted... And I saw a lot more the second time around. The dogs bits...
Saw it last night, was completely blown away. Makes TFA look silly in comparison but then I'm not a fan of JJ Abram's movies.
Amazing how far the CGI technology has come and it would be interesting to know what Peter Cushing's family make of that. I'd be careful of taking the younger kids to see it (although is a 12a) as it's pretty dark and quite harrowing in some scenes. Finally a Star Wars movie aimed at a mature audience. Had everything you could wish for and no annoying characters that grate - 9/10.

I had just assumed that it would be as family friendly as TFA and as such was going to see it tonight with my two boys who are 5 and 9. Not so sure now?!
Sod it just decided I'm going to go anyway. As long as it's just dark and not violent/scary then I'm sure they'll be fine.

Personally, I can't wait to see it.
Some parts are quite violent to be honest. None of it is scary as such, unless you are scared of Vader, in which case its violent and scary!!
I'm not a fan of the series but I've enjoyed the 7 previous films. Saw six of them in the cinema but never really felt the need to watch them very often. I've probably seen SW three times and the rest twice.
I liked Force Awakens for what it was.
Anyway, this one: I was so bored. First one to bore me so by default it's the worst one for me.
Apart from THAT SCENE at the end.
Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.
Last half hour once all the pew-pew got going was terrific and made up for the previous 90 minutes which I thought were a bit of a flat chore and really made me appreciate Force Awakens more.
Funny thing about the Cushing controversy is he looks healthier in this than when he was alive...
Final scene was awesome but imagine how much better it would have been if they hadn't had the mediocre earlier scene with him in.... bad choking joke and JEJ's voice has really changed.
Just back from watching it with Mini Dorse. Safe to say that my gast is well and truly flabbered.
Top notch.
And THAT scene was fcuking awesome.
I didn't go as hoped but will hopefully go this week and whilst I and everybody else that hasn't seen it yet don't want any spoilers can you just confirm if "THAT SCENE" that I'm reading about is as good as the following clasic Sci-Fi scene although this one was obviously pre CGI;

Spoiler Alert - THIS is THAT scene
'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!'
Saw it yesterday. Was not looking forward to it as I've never really got the Star Wars thing other than watching the first one when I was 13. Hated the one that came out last year.
