The ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ premiere took place on Tuesday evening, and while no full reviews have been published as of yet, a number of critics couldn’t resist sharing their views on Twitter.

Full reviews of the movie are expected later this week, following the European premiere, however if these early hints are anything to go by, fans are in for a treat:

While journalists were asked not to share spoilers, a few have hinted at what fans of the franchise can expect.

The following tweets do not quite constitute spoilers, but if you’d like to remain *totally* in the dark, look away now.

We repeat, look away now.

The whole film’s cast were out in force at the LA premiere, and John Boyega and Daisy Ridley led the arrivals on the red carpet.

Stars of the original trilogy Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill also posed for snaps, and naturally, a few Storm Troopers turned up too.

Check out all the snaps from the event below…
