    Avoided to steer clear of Adele's song, and not a fan of Daniel Craig either, so two against.

    DirectorJ.J. AbramsStarsDaisy RidleyJohn BoyegaOscar Isaac
    "Greatest Movie Ever" a woman says on tv. What does that mean?

    Gradually, with Harrison, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, it's been divulged this movie essentially was a remake of the '77 original. No one was intrigued by the roly poly robot, so what exactly did this movie bring about? Zippo!
