For the most part, reviews and praise have been very strong. I believe it was 97% fresh on rotten tomatoes this morning and does not appear to be getting the lukewarm response that all of the prequel films did. Really looking forward to 8pm tomorrow night.

Hopefully this is spoiler free enough for you all but saw it tonight in France and a few things about the french experience
1) only 2 people were in costume for a 5pm showing
2) the theater wasn't full, which was surprising since every showing after was sold out
3) MK2 theaters or at least the one near the presidential library are pretty effin nice
4) We felt reasonably comfortable discussing the movie after in a cafe since pretty much everyone else around was speaking a different language, total bonus
5) Instead of various candies they had a popcorn "bar" where you could put one of 12 different toppings on the popcorn. Salted Caramel was tasty.
As for the movie once JD opens it up I'll share my thoughts but for now my recommendation is to get in a foxhole because some people will not be able to shut their yaps.

I just saw it tonight in 3D at IMAX. I'm in the Philippines on business and and the vendor arranged for us to go. It's really as good as I could have hoped for. No spoilers, of course. But gladly seeing it again next week with my nieces when I am back in LA. I will say I don't think I needed the 3D and will probably do the next showing w/o. Good movie is good as is.

Loved it after first viewing.
Nice mix of serious/gritty, and cute/funny like many JJ films. 3D did not detract, but not sure it added much?
ESB will always be first place for me but this might move up to second or third.
It was so good to go in spoiler free (except for the toys). That screen going dark and the music coming up was euphoric.
