Gisteren was er in de Verenigde Staten de première van Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Sommige leden van de pers mochten aanwezig zijn. Recensies staan tot morgen onder embargo, maar zoals te verwachten was, konden mensen het niet laten hun eerste reacties te geven. Hieronder een flinke selectie van reacties van critici, die unaniem positief lijken te zijn over de film.
#ForceAwakens might be the best blockbuster since the original.

From comedy to costumes, fights to fx to overall feel, J.J. Abrams has created a thoroughly old-fashioned movie #StarWarsForceAwakens

Not going to say much till I see it again but rest assured THE FORCE AWAKENS is the best STAR WARS since 1983...maybe 1980.

Well, I've seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
My prediction: #1 at the box office this week.
