I too was disappointed but we're definitely in the minority and easily dismissed by the majority of fans who enjoyed the movie.

I've not lost all hope, we'll see how Rouge One goes.... But I have a feeling we're due for more nostalgia driven, Mcguffin laden, Finn bumblin, no sense making eye candy.

Well, I decided the horse hadn't been flogged enough, so I went to see the film again yesterday. And, as several people here have already pointed out, it is indeed a lot more enjoyable the second time around.

I haven't suddenly become blind to the film's many faults. However, without the weight of expectation, it was easier for me to just sit back, put my brain into neutral, and enjoy what is basically a popcorn movie, without over-analysing things too much.

Also, for obvious reasons, the lack of plot surprises is less of an issue when you're watching a film for a second time.

Usually when I go to a movie, I go with the lowest possible expectation; that way even a crappy movie is better than expected and a "win". Unfortunately, Star Wars was impossible to go to without expectations. That's why I think I enjoyed it more the second time - I had no expectations, and actually expected to dislike it more. I was pleasantly surprised.
