It’s here — the real Episode Four! From the first few minutes, or even the first few frames, JJ Abrams’s exciting, spectacular and seductively innocent Star Wars: The Force Awakens shows itself a movie in the spirit of the original trilogy, which ended with Return of the Jedi in 1983. (This one takes up the story 30 years later.) Technically, of course, that was reconfigured as Episode Six, but The Force Awakens makes you forget about the redundancy and pedantry of the prequel-trilogy that came 15 years later. It restores the comedy that Phantom Menace abandoned. The Force Awakens is in touch with the force of action-adventure and fun. My only tiny reservation, which I will get out of the way now, is with a tiny new droid who has a bit of a Scrappy-Doo vibe about him. The Force Awakens re-awoke my love of the first movie and turned my inner fanboy into my outer fanboy. There are very few films which leave me facially exhausted after grinning for 135 minutes, but this is one. And when Han Solo and Chewie come on, I had a feeling in the cinema I haven’t had since I was 16: not knowing whether to burst into tears or into applause.

Saw an interview with Harrison Ford the other day. He said he was only paid $1000 a week in the original Star Wars because Han Solo was going to be an unknown actor and he nearly didn't do the movie which basically made him.

Very entertaining , i liked the natural location settings and the bit where a big imperial star ship flies out the screen past the toilets up the aisle and out the door.

I was never a big movie goer. In fact I might have seen less than 20 movies before I started to visit Thailand (when I was about 48). I will attend more often now. This was the first full length Star Wars movie I have ever watched. Shhhh maybe not full length. I fell a sleep for a few seconds during the start of the show. Those cushy recliners in the back row can be comfortable. The movie was OK. No big deal, I thought. I never got all the hype about the first movie. Never cared. Little story. Shortly after the first Star Wars movie came out, some girl I was going out with (for a very short time) dragged me into a discotech (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know but she was stunning) in Ft. Lauderdale. One of the stars of the show was in the disco and took a liking to the girl I was with. He came up to us and introduced himself. She melted. He spent a little time trying to explain to me who he was in the movie that I told him I had never seen. Seems that some fans have been waiting,……… 'Star Wars' blows past records, hauls in $250 million domestic, $517M global: www.cnbc.com/2015/12/19/star-wars-pulls-in-250-million-globally-on-opening-day-eyes-new-record.htmlMrs. Clinton might be a fan,………

Wanted to go and see it at the weekend but couldn't convince the girls. They said it was a boys movie and too scary  |
