Tried to figure out why the alt right was protesting it.

But definitely good vs evil thing going on. Corporations vs the people.

When you can see the comparison between galactic fascism and the guy you voted for.

I was thinking of seeing it over Christmas break and wonder if it is worth braving the crowds, or should I wait for it to come out on DVD?

it is worth seeing in theater.

I thought it started slow, but that's just me. The last half made up for it.

have said it was a lot better than the last one, which was a one of the better ones in the series.

I'll wait and either get the DVD or see it on Prime, hauling these old bones to a theater so I can stick to the floor and listen to dimwits describe the action on their cell phones is no longer in the cards.

There were other people who were teary-eyed in the audience as well -- and we all sat for awhile after the credits started rolling. Diego Luna and Felicity Jones do a great job -- Luna is especially wonderful. The last half of the film is breathtaking. It is definitely a film to see on the big screen.

well worth seeing on a big screen

it's almost like the people who made it figured out the true secret sauce behind a good Star Wars movie

that said, it is still very much a Star Wars movie with everything that entails

I was coming down with what turned out to be an ear infection and felt like I couldn't take everything in.

And I'm the worlds biggest Star Wars fan, a true, hard-core nerd of the highest caliber. I even read the prequel novel (which ends with the birth of R1's protagonist).

But after an incredibly long week, I fell dead asleep -- under my Star Wars blanket, no less, because each member of my family has personal Star Wars blankets for Star Wars movie watching.

I'll probably go by myself on Tuesday morning when my wife and daughter go back to work.

Sorry to say, I found it rather boring. Oh, well, at least we now qualify for senior discounts.

They are so poorly trained and some of them are certainly just average guys who needed a job.
