Oh man! This is such GOOD news! This film is gonna slay and while I don´t know any spoilers yet, I have this feeling all the Reylo scenes are going to be amazing.

Two that are a bit spoilery (in the best way possible).

Spoiler:

^ Those two reviews might be put in spoiler tags? They might reveal a tad too much, thrilling as they are...

[Driver's] is one of the movie’s most challenging and effective performances, and though the internet will distract itself with a moment in which he briefly appears shirtless, it’s gratifying to see such a gifted actor in the part.

Hello. I am the internet.



Seriously, Rian Johnson is the f*** MVP. Dude gets it. I need the emotional depth and the visual wonder, the layered characterizations, the nuance and the shocking plot twists - but it's equally true that I need the shirtless scene. I want it all and Rian's all YASSS QUEEN, you should have it all!



I can't. XD

I'm currently watching/reading some non-spoiler reviews of the film and the main criticism people seem to have is the Finn/Rose storyline and some misplaced humor. Everyone is very cryptic about the Rey/Kylo/Luke storyline so I guess all the exciting stuff happens there.

I'm a little bit worried for Finn's character though I already thought he was a bit of a mess in TFA but hoped TLJ would improve the character. We'll see...

Hi guys! I just come out from the theaters. I don't really know where to begins and how to express what I feel. I think I will have to watch it a second time to confirm my feeling about that movie. I let you judge by yourself and will gladly answer questions in the Q&A thread. Right now, I don't feel like I can really provide a real critic without spoiling or influencing your judgment.

Oh my god, I am suffering so much from not wanting to spoil myself! I got a tiny peak at some stuff already, because I just could not control myself. 3 more days :/

Hey guys! I've just seen the movie and I really don't know what to say!
Now I'm too excited and overwhelmed  to say something rational
The movie starts fast and it goes even faster, a lot of things happen and  I wasn't expecting some of them.
All I can say is that I liked it but I must see it again to understand it better (and possibly in english, because I've seen it dubbed and I really missed Adam's beautiful voice  )

Allright guys! I needed time to clear my ideas and provide some rational description.

1) Rian didn't lie when he said that it would be shocking and unexpected. Prepare yourself for twists! This is not going to go the way you think!

2) Although the movie is long and dense, there is little plot progression and character development in general. A lot of questions - if not the most of the questions - won't be answered and this is the reason why I left the theaters kinda frustrated.

3) Reylo: The way Rian used the Force Bond was interesting. There is one scene in particular that is very emotionally charged between them and makes it clear to the audience that there is something going on. The progression of their relationship during the movie is unexpected as much as the way things go.

4) The movie is visually-thrilling, pretty funny but I still feel lukewarm regarding certain aspects aside from the Reylo dimension

Hey guys! I'm back and I have seen the movie now. I liked it. There are some things that I'm unsure about but it had a lot of GREAT moments and had me on the edge of my seat more than a few times.

I think I will have to digest it more and see it at least one more time before I can give my final review. But I think I liked it better then TFA.

I'm so glad that I no longer have to avoid spoilers!

I loved the movie- but can see why some people don't.
