Of course, there will be some analysis/breakdown, etc. based exclusively on the fact it will probably be the highest grossing movie in history. It's already made $1.8 billion worldwide.

Visual entertainment, in a lot of ways, works like advertising which operates at the subconscious level. The images and stories one perceives through countless hours of reading or watching TV and film and other visual stimuli, play a role in creating one's point of view. There are other influences as well; your parents, friends and teachers to name just some. Perhaps some folks who reject the film altogether perceive an implied message right away and will thus avoid the conflict. Others may just see it as entertainment but nevertheless can be affected by the story-telling.
IMHO, it's always good to see other points of view, no matter how much one disagrees with them. As for judging a film such as this - unseen, YMMV.
