A quick non-spoilery question:

Would you all say the movie is more or less intense than Age of Ultron?

I’m just answering the question posed, not spoiling anything, but spoilerboxing it just in case anyone doesn’t want to know From an action standpoint, about on par, or a little less. From an emotional standpoint, more.

Much less, though the opening scene is a bit intense. My 8 year-old was a little scared, but that was quickly overshadowed by the coolness of it (and it’s much cooler than Age of Ultron 🙂

Star Wars VII had a record-breaking opening night and I am sure there will be more records going down perhaps even Avatar’s. I don’t remember the last movie with this kind of hype. Even the [White House](http://news.yahoo.com/white-house-awakens-force-star-wars-211719334.html) is not immune.

Saw it, enjoyed it a lot. Not perfect, and a few nitpicks, but I’ll move those to the spoiler thread.
