Star Wars 7 SPOILERS!

Agreed, I have no complaints on the visuals.

Kylo Ren's character and Adam Driver's performance was very well done.

Just too much repetition of themes from a New Hope and McGuffins galore had me asking too many questions to suspend disbelief.

And am I to believe that the entire muster of the resistance fleet was a handful of xwings? No Y wings or A wings? No corellian ships?  And it was so disappointing not to have rebel pilots yelling as the explode saying stuff like "They came from behind"

harveybirdman:
Kylo Ren saves the movie.

I need to watch it again without all the talking audience and clapping to properly evaluate the dialogue fully.

How did the stupid pirates know a mere hours after that the first order was looking for BB8?

Why didn't the first order just blow up the rebel base with the first shot?

Why the hell did the cast a young ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- looking guy as the admiral that gave the Hitler speech?

Why does Snoke look like the aliens from prometheus?

However I just cant love it after seeing it.

I will say this they definitely captured the spirit of Star Wars and it's nothing the can't fix with better writing in the subsequent films. But Jesus Christmas characters telling you how the feel?!?! Hallmark of poor writing.

If only someone could have predicted that JJ Abrams would produce a film with piss-poor writing.  Oh wait, I did.  Seriously did you see the last two Star Trek films?  To be fair though the trailer for ST 3:  "The afterthought" was released..... The fast and furious guy??  Seriously???  Can we have JJ back?

I am a total Star Wars Purist... And I thought JJ nailed it perfectly. The only gripe would be Carrie Fishers botox injections... The woman couldn't open her mouth!!! I thought this was better than all of the prequels and Return of the Jedi.... It is a solid top three star wars movie... to me it beats A New Hope and is one step back from Empire. It was awesome.

I wasn't aware of the botox injections, but it explains a lot.
I kept waiting for her to start acting, but she never made a single facial expression.  :lol

It was definitely better than the prequels.  This was more true to the world created in the originals.
One of the things that bothered me about episode 1 was that the style of everything strayed too far from the originals.
I know it was supposed to be an earlier time, but not that much earlier.
