You should start a real SPOILERS thread so we can post in there. I see it tomorrow.

I saw it, thought is was very good.  Nothing earth shattering, but kind of what I expected and enjoyed it.

Ha!  I love this tweet from Captain Mal himself:

I liked it a lot. Very good film, I'd say better than episodes 1-3( certainly) and even with episode 1, maybe a little short of 2. Very predictable in places and not shy about throwing the whole Star Wars storyline right in your face. But it still manages to have more emotion than the other movies, some genuine surprises, sad and funny moments. A new and interesting plot line and all the old characters from all the old films made it a fun movie though the 3-D wasn't that impressive. And not that many people at the theater to see it really. Well worth the price and the time. If you liked episodes 4-6, then you'll like 7 too. I'd go a solid 7.5 outta 10. See,  :-X on the spoilers.

I was actually surprised by this myself when I went today...theatre had about 5 other people in it besides myself and daughter.  It was during the day, so I expected less, just not that much less.  The movie was absolutely worth it and likely will see it again with my wife at some point.  I know a lot of people were not impressed by the prequels, but to be honest I have enjoyed every Star Wars movie, certainly some more than others, but generally liked them all.  Although I would agree the "feel/story" felt more like episodes 4-6, which the originals will always be at the top of the list.
