Glenn O.K. I kept quite about this movie (after seeing the first midnight screening a few days ago) and i guess most real fans would have seen it by now? I wondered what others think about it? I didn't mind it (After you get past the boring "dark" first hour (this would look bad in 3D?) it picks up when the battle begins. But for me the biggest disappointment is the soundtrack IT SUCKS it never reaches the same level as John Williams fantastic scores do. It's very average and sounds more like it should be used on a "Psycho" movie! Disney better watch out what they do with the Star Wars franchise! They seem to be fast screwing it up. When i went to the midnight screening it was only about half full. And i went back on Saturday to see it with my girlfriend (she thought it was boring too for the first hour) at 7.00pm and there was even less people in the cinema then about 50 people or so! NOT GOOD for a first week screening! It won't appeal to younger kids too as it's too dark and boring for the first half they will get sick of it. Disney is not going to attract younger fans if they keep this up. 🙁
Kees Kleijwegt I totally agree with you Donald.
Although I think, in the process of defending this cool movie, you unleashed some spoilers onto the galaxy😉

Glenn I stand by what I've said. Hated the soundtrack and there's a lot of people out there already divided on this movie. I didn't say i hate the movie only the music! It is a lot better when the battles begin just the first half drags on way too long. And Crenic? "Ben Mendelston" has a silly sounding voice! (Sounds to Australian?) that made me laugh and not fear him. There will never be the same interest in these movies as the first trilogy!
