Sorry, stop idolising - it's making you sound like JediXAngel! You haven't seen the movie so your opinion is no more or less valid than his!The full movie will blow your mind. J.J Abrahams is a man of his word and when he said this movie is mind blowing, you better believe it.

“I don’t think that ['Darkness' director] J.J. Abrams knows what to do with me. Age and change in body shape."
