wazzap24 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Dem reviews though. Jesus wept. I was excited anyway, but I'm sure how I'm going to get through the day tomorrow now!

hogso Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I thought it was interesting how initial reviews of phantom menace were really positive too (they've been carried last couple of days by various sites), hope this stands the test of time.

choffer Posted December 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2015 Not the best evening to take a short-cut through Leicester Square tonight. Absolute bedlam round there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Result. The missus has finished work early and will be home in time to look after the nipper. Odeon West Brom will have an extra fat sweaty geek in the queue tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Going to watch it with some work friends straight after work. I'm a lot more excited than I was a couple of weeks ago. I hope it's good. The trailers look pretty cool, all except for Kylo Ren who just looks a bit shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 It was great. Would definitely stand up to a second viewing(and third). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 yep, £130m film, in profit before it got released, $4bn is roughly £2.7bn, they estimate this film will do £1.3bn in the cinema (which i think will be a record) plus then circa £2.5bn in merchandise... i've also had it spoiled but im sure that my guesses a few pages back (in spoiler boxes so dont worry) are more or less right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that total worldwide or just USA or just first week? Avatar has the worldwide record at £2.5billion or something like that i think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the machete order says to disregard episode 1 as nothing happens in that film which affects the story or any of the other films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Saw the midnight showing so knackered. It's great. Not Empire or Star Wars great but vying with Jedi for 3rd spot. Daisy Ridley and John Boyega are superb. Daisy owns this film. She is surprisingly great. Wasn't feeling it for Kylo. Wasn't as menacing as he could have been. Han is Han. Him and Chewie slot back in like an old glove. The film starts at a right old pace and never lets up. Which is an issue as scenes aren't allowed any air to breathe, especially the opening act. Saying that enjoyed it, definitely a film that requires mulitple viewings as there's alot happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted December 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2015 We have a good reboot on our hands. Liked it a lot. 3 hours ago, stewiek2 said: Wasn't feeling it for Kylo. Wasn't as menacing as he could have been. Spoiler My main gripe as well. Hoping the "training" now after the thing he did will add to the character.

nobler Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Spoiler I thought the first 45 minutes or so, weren't too great. Lots of forced acting and just didn't feel right, but as soon as the resistance came in, those X-Wing feels kicked in and the film just got unbelievable. So glad I hadn't had it spoiled for me as it would have completely ruined my emotions, but I'm basically a wreck now. Cannot wait for episodes VIII and IX.
