    Yeah, very very much in line with the leaked reviews from premiere guests:
    Good movie but lacking in originality.

    Frankly, that's perfectly cool with me. I absolutely love Star Wars, rehash or no, and I think TFA is gonna be awesome.

    After accepting that The pastebin is probably true.....I am excited. Lol, I know whats to come and what the worst is, but i also know i will get to see ford, leia, and the falcon again. As well as the new cast. I think i am over doom and gloom, i am really hyped to see this!

    Also, The lightsaber battle is what i want to see the most. Friday cant come soon enough! :D

    I think all the critics have itchy trigger fingers to post the review.
    One posts it so they all post it. That one retracts it and they all retract it.

    LOL, same thing happened with the Times review (it was 5/5 btw).

    My guess is that reviews are going up early and then getting takedown notices from Disney.

    Where did you hear that?

    EDIT:
    From someone who correctly reported the first line of the opening crawl (verified with cell phone photo).

    Opening Shot: "a planet with a huge star destroyer crossing in front of it at a cool angle."

    I love Star Wars, but think TFA is going to suck. A rehash is not okay with me. I was hoping for some originality, some . . . what's the word?

    Creativity. That's it. If I can literally switch out the names of the planets and characters from a general synopsis of ANH and be left with a general synopsis of TFA, then my worst fears will have been confirmed. I was hoping for a new Star Wars film.

    A new one.

    EDIT: Let the negative ratings wash over me. I'm just not going to slowly realize that a movie is bad/mediocre like I did with the prequels. I'm not going to make that same mistake again. If it's good, it's good. If it's mediocre, it's mediocre. If it's bad, it's bad. No deluding myself.

    Right here in this partial review that got taken down it says"As the words “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away . . .” came across the Imax screen in Leicester Square, a shiver of anticipation went through the audience, and it was thoroughly justified. A cheer went up when the Millennium Falcon spaceship hove"

    Yup there is no joking with Disney NDAs/Embargo.
    Meaning any reivews that are up now and stay up (on a blog or what not) did not attend a press event or world premiere.
    The real ones will come up at 12:01AM PST unless the embargo is released earlier, which I will let you all know if it does! They can and have in the past so you never know. But right now it is still up.

    It hasn't been done yet, but please if posting reviews or quoting reviews please spoiler tag any potential spoilers. I get some stuff can't be avoided with reviews but specifics in this thread would be highly disappointing.

    Exactly, also,
    are we meant to believe that the movie doesn't even explain why Luke is in hiding? Or why is he playing intergalactic treasure hunt with Lor San Tekka and R2?
    I refuse to believe those spoilers until someone gives more details...
