They had to put this proverbial train back on the tracks first, imho, which this movie accomplished pretty spectacularly.

Harrison Ford nets $34 million for his role in The Force Awakens.
His salary is more than 76 times greater than that of British newcomers Daisy Ridley and John Boyega.








They
received £300,000 ($450,000 US) each for their starring roles in the movie, which
opened in UK cinemas on Thursday. However, once worldwide box-office
takings have topped the $1 billion mark, the pair will also start to
receive a small cut.








A
Disney source explained: ‘Harrison is the key to making this movie
work. He’s the link between the old generation and the new. Mark Hamill
and Carrie Fisher were good to get, but the film could have lived
without them. You couldn’t make it without Harrison Ford.’








Ford
was paid just under £7,000 when he first played Han Solo in the
original 1977 Star Wars film. This time around, he has already had a
payout of over £1 million in compensation for breaking his leg during
shooting at Pinewood Studios.








Although
their earnings are eclipsed by Ford, Londoners Miss Ridley and Mr
Boyega, both 23, are said to have had no hesitation signing up.








American J.
J. Abrams, 49, was paid £3.3 million to direct the film, plus a two per
cent share of gross earnings. Disney paid just over $4 billion to buy
Lucas Films, which make Star Wars, three years ago.








Carrie Fisher, 59, was paid just over £1 million to bring back Princess Leia.








She signed away her image rights early in her association with Star Wars, meaning she misses out on merchandise revenues.

Just got back, my whole family thought it was great.  They definitely got the magic back that defined the first three.  Also to the poster asking about his 6yr old we took my 5 year old who is a huge SW freak and there was only one part where he was a little scared.

Would you say this is the most "violent" movie? Seems like a lot of up close blaster shots. Head shots. The blood smear. A village slaughter. Han getting the shish kabob. 3 or 4 planets getting scorched. Chewie was getting his blaster on. The light saber battle with multiple wounds inflicted. X wings and tie fighters hitting ground forces.

It was great action and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Considering the fact that it looks like he'll have a HUGE presence in the next movie, as in the whole story revolves around him, I'm guessing he made a boat load.




 



I can't see him getting killed off quickly, if at all.

R2-D2 and BB8 are both like dogs.  Always loyal and have different personalities.  I think they are both pretty good in the saga.

Saw it tonight. I was going to wait until Tuesday and let the crowds die down but couldn't help it. And I was really surprised by how few people were in the theater. It's small town WV, but I worked at the theater when Episode 2 and 3 came out and they sold out every show the first few days. Anyway, the movie gets a solid 8/10 from me. The plots a little rehashed, but I felt like a kid when the text started scrolling at the beginning. My almost four year old is begging me to take him, but I'm kinda torn. He's watched the originals, but I'm thinking he may be a bit too young yet for this one.

Went to the 10:45pm showing tonight.
Not very crowded. But Thats what I was hoping for, by going to the last showing of the evening.

I thought the movie was terrific. The cgi was just enough to make it work. The spacecraft were convincing in how they
appeared and flew.

The banter between Han and Chewy was funny, as always.
I liked all the new characters, even if the movie was going for a PC audience.
Finn, referring to himself, as "a big deal", and Han calling him that afterwards a few times, reminds of working in the shop, and
some new guy yaps off, and gets hung with a nickname like that.

Kylo Ren was cool. I liked how he was a bit of a loose cannon, who overplayed his hand. I'm sure he'll wise up soon enough. I thought Driver did a great job.
Rey was a fighter, and had the technical know how, from living in a "rough neighborhood".

I didn't like the lack of originality, that the story had. As many have pointed out, it seemed "A New Hope 2.0" in many ways.
But I still liked it ... a lot.

1) Empire Strikes Back
2) A New Hope
3) The Force Awakens (I could almost put it #1)
4) Return of the Jedi
5, 6, 7, Prequels .... I dont even consider those steaming turds as Star Wars movies.

I don't think most of those are plot holes, just things that haven't been explained yet.  There is not one single movie in the saga that doesn't leave things unexplained which is part of the charm imho.  It's good marketing to keep fans guessing in order to stay relevant between movies.

I liked it.

It didn't suck, which for me, was the biggest thing.

I was afraid it was going to be like Mad Max: Fury Road where everyone was gah gah over it, yet it sucked giant donkey dick.

The movie was good, I'd call it a 8 out of 10.

I was surprised how long it was.  

Whoever the faggot that posted the spoiler to GD, may a million fucks be upon you.  Sucked to know what was going to happen.

Funny that there were both dudes from Ex Machina in the movie, the Poe and the second in command dude.

Saw it last night in 3D and loved it.  Just bought a ticket for IMAX Wednesday morning to love it again.


ETA - I see a "director's cut" DVD being released before the next movie comes out that fills in some of the questions.  How many more $20 DVD's will go flying off the shelves if there are more Luke lines, more of this Snoke guy, and maybe some background on how Anakin's / Luke's lightsaber ended up in a box in the basement of some dive bar.

But I don't think the movie would have been good without Ford, Fisher or Hamill

His salary is more than 76 times greater than that of British newcomers Daisy Ridley and John Boyega.


They received £300,000 ($450,000 US) each for their starring roles in the movie, which opened in UK cinemas on Thursday. However, once worldwide box-office takings have topped the $1 billion mark, the pair will also start to receive a small cut.


A Disney source explained: ‘Harrison is the key to making this movie work. He’s the link between the old generation and the new. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher were good to get, but the film could have lived without them. You couldn’t make it without Harrison Ford.’


Ford was paid just under £7,000 when he first played Han Solo in the original 1977 Star Wars film. This time around, he has already had a payout of over £1 million in compensation for breaking his leg during shooting at Pinewood Studios.


Although their earnings are eclipsed by Ford, Londoners Miss Ridley and Mr Boyega, both 23, are said to have had no hesitation signing up.


American J. J. Abrams, 49, was paid £3.3 million to direct the film, plus a two per cent share of gross earnings. Disney paid just over $4 billion to buy Lucas Films, which make Star Wars, three years ago.


Carrie Fisher, 59, was paid just over £1 million to bring back Princess Leia.


She signed away her image rights early in her association with Star Wars, meaning she misses out on merchandise revenues.

Saw it tonight. I was going to wait until Tuesday and let the crowds die down but couldn't help it. And I was really surprised by how few people were in the theater. It's small town WV, but I worked at the theater when Episode 2 and 3 came out and they sold out every show the first few days. Anyway, the movie gets a solid 8/10 from me. The plots a little rehashed, but I felt like a kid when the text started scrolling at the beginning. My almost four year old is begging me to take him, but I'm kinda torn. He's watched the originals, but I'm thinking he may be a bit too young yet for this one.

Lots of empty seats here as well. Then again, it was showing on like half the screens in the complex, with a showing starting 20 minutes after ours did.

+1. She was excellent, even taking into account that Maz was done via motion capture.







Likewise, Andy Serkis was awesome as Supreme Leader Snokes, another one done via motion capture.
