"Technically magnificent but dramatically inert, it's a lumberingly predictable finale to the space saga that peaked in 1980 and has been going downhill ever since." predictable, no!, how predictable, oh yoiu mean you know whats ghoing to happen, well thats not difficult sunshine we've known for 25 years. it's ridiculously illinformed reviewers like this guy who should get a new job and leave judging movies to the punters. it's the best one lucas has directed, yes even better than star wars, which was just a fairy story after all, two heores, old mentor, magic, bad guys, evil lord, rescue princess etc etc. in the opinion of this original star wars fan it's number 2 behind empire ( could never be moved off top spot purely for the "I am your father" twist

 Hi ! I've just seen it , it was 00:01 in France (12:01 pm) , today the 18th and all the fans of my city were together at the theatre, in a new huge movie- complex, lost in the middle of the fields ! There were some Darth Vader, Leîa princess in the audience, that was really fun and the mood was really good. Then the famous music ... then the movie ! And it was GREAT, even if (to me) the first half-hour seems a little bit boring. I was with my 14 years old daughters (twins) and we all found it was the best of the last trilogy, the plot, the technical effects, the actors, eveything was great. I don't know if it's the best of the 6 because my favorite is "The Empire strikes back" but it is the most dark and sad of the 6. But it closes in a fantastic way this incredible saga.

Definitely agree, but in fact, I think The Empire Strikes back had the greatest plotwist EVER and not only in its genre.
Yeah, unfortunately, everyone seems to know that plot twist, even if they haven't seen the movie. More than likely, back when I first saw the movies, I didn't know the twist. But I was very little when I watched them. Anybody going to any midnight showings? Other than Chessie, that is, who has already mentioned it. I'm not because I tend to do better with movies when I'm not usually sleeping during that time.  But two of my friends are going tonight.

I hope that none of you camp outside the theaters to watch it!
No ! but when we arrived at about 10:30pm, there were thousands of persons in front of the theatre ! Fortunately we had bought our tickets two days before ! It was really fun to see it during the night, even if it had been a little bit hard to go to sleep only at 3:30am ! I have always seen the "Star Wars" at premiere, mood is so electrical and joyfull !  . And a few years ago, I went to a "Star Wars night", 3 movies from 9PM to 5AMthe day after, that was a very happy night !
