A little over 3 years ago a stunning announcement came across the wire. Disney had bought Lucasfilm and was planning on developing new Star Wars movies. Tonight in Hollywood the wait is over as the world premiere forStar Wars: The Force Awakenstakes place. Collider Videos' John Campea and Mark Ellis are actually attending the World Premiere tonight.
Derrick F Walker Jr writes: Is it time for the world to realize that the Hemsworth brothers are not leading actors? Their box office numbers proves it. Everything Chris does is a bomb unless he is playing Thor and to be honest his brother just can’t act.
Charles Watson writes: Hello my fellow Star Wars fans, I have a question about the Star Wars premiere. I know that you all will be the very lucky ones to see it tonight and you’re planing on doing a review of it afterwards. I know you all will shoot the spoilers and post that on Wednesday, but how will you be able to do your views tonight if you’re unable to give away any plot points? Keep up the amazing work and May The Force Be With You.
Dale Harrison writes: Hi guys, big fan from England. My question is who do you think will be the best Comic Book Movie Hero and Villain performances from 2016 if you had to choose now? My picks areRyan Reynolds’Deadpool(although he’s more of an anti-hero) and The Bat-fleck (I couldn’t decide). With my villain beingJared Leto’s joker who I believe is going to smash it! (high hopes forOscar Isaacs’s Apocalypse too) keep doing what you’re doing!
