Thank you. I might watch it, but only when it's available online.

Wow! Greedy studio employed director with absolutely no creativity and it resulted in a bad movie?! HOWWWWWWW?
It seems to me Lucas just had a lot of luck in his life with first two SW movies being interesting mostly because of Darth Vader. 3rd one would be pretty much disgrace if there weren't Darth Vader in it.
I mean sure you could say it's only a movie, but considering the ticked prices they're charging now it's far from what cinema used to be - cheap fun for masses as opposed to theater or opera.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Sigh. Sounds like much of the same crap as with Jurassic World. I begin to think that the art of film making is finally dead in Hollywood.
I mean, we all saw that Abrams is an ignorant hack who should not ever be let near intelligent science fiction when he did in Star Trek, but I hoped that the more fairy tale like setting would suit him better. But it is still a space opera, and what makes a space opera? Atmosphere, beautiful cinematography, fun characters and a minimum of scifi sense. Bummer.

Aractus hated it?
Sold. Sold. SOLD. TAKE MY MONEY DAMMIT. 
If it's the SW equivalent of Jurrasic World which I LOVED, then I'll be having a lot of fun come the 21st

Nah, I just thought Jurassic World kicked the crap out of the original, a statement which I stand by to this day

I was always quite, quite mad mein freund. But yes, I enjoyed World a fair bit more than Park, Lost World or 3. I'm usually of the mindset that just because something came first in a franchise, doesn't entitle it to be untouchable. I find this is often the case - Jurrasic Park has aged horribly even if the effects are still impressive.
Also, nostalgia is a bitch - the original SW are not perfection in cinematic form, they are simply good to great.
