Times critics give their verdict as Star Wars opens in UK

The threat has already made one bookstore’s dedicated Star Wars Facebook page take drastic action and temporarily shut down, so they “don’t contribute to anyone spoiling The Force Awakens.” .

The theatre will start screening Episode VII Thursday night. “I even have a Han Solo auto license plate”.

The film is one of the most anticipated movies of the year.

This movie is appealing to both the older and younger generations. “I just want my family to like it”.

The first critical reactions were also overwhelmingly positive.

Nevertheless, the film was great entertainment and despite my weariness it kept me glued to the screen for its entirety.

Another British critic, Christopher Hooton of The Independent, was equally effusive. He has high hopes for the film.

“The Force Awakens oozes the style and composition of the first trilogy, and will not look awkward stood next to your well-worn Return of the Jedi DVD”.

Most theaters will be premiering the film tonight around 7 p.m. rather than Friday, making tickets more readily available to all.

“Couldn’t be more delighted”, the exhibitor said. So I stayed overnight and the next day I was in the same room as these legends and new people who will go on to be legends themselves.

“It’s a story about good versus evil”.

A future and past where lasers and spaceships are used in fights to save princesses. “I think that is incredibly interesting in our modern culture”.

Star Wars creator George Lucas has said that having the European premiere of new film The Force Awakens in London is like “coming home”.

Sean Tinney, 31, from Greenock attended the midnight showing dressed as Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back, a costume he said he put together for Halloween and chose to wear again.

“The Star Wars buildup has been one of the biggest ones I can remember”, said Roland Gau, Assistant Professor of marketing for the University of Texas at El Paso.

John Boyega plays Finn, a new character. As a terminal Star Wars fan, I implored my coworkers to try and find a Star Wars newbie in the wild (or at least the friendly confines of our office).

The secrecy prompted some criticism of the film’s fearsome publicity machine.
