I liked it. It was entertaining. You expect substance from the seventh movie in a space fantasy series? This ain't Bill Shakespeare.

Very happy with what they did with Rey's character and looking forward to seeing her evolve and develop. Even Fin with his, "OMG, run away!!!!!" attitude was good. Only thing that got under my skin was the big dog fight scene at the end. I was ok with the "blow up the oscillator", but they really shouldn't have had a trench run. That was just silly.

The new characters were very exciting to me as well. Those three will be moving the story forward for at least the next two movies so getting them right was a huge relief.

harveybirdman:
I liked the new characters as well but I'd say the fact that Finn is a puss, Rey is inexplicably powerful with the force, and Kylo Ren has wild inconsistency in his force power is plenty of evidence that they didn't nail them.

With regard to thr overarching story I understand that it's not Shakespeare but it can at least have enough exposition to set the stage for the story and make me care about what the characters are fighting for and what's at stake.

I think everyone is just so relieved it doesn't suck like the prequels and therefore can't seem to remove those rose colored spectacles.

I am not an idiot... I don't get hypnotized by nostalgia or visuals... if that was a case I would love the prequels and even ROTJ, but I like The Force Awakens better than those 4 movies. Why can't I? I am not here telling you; you are being hyper critical of space saga movie. No you are entitled to your opinion. Let us have ours. :soapbox:

Not true... it's a good movie. Yes far better than the prequels much better than ROTJ... arguably on par with A New Hope. Not as good as Empire. How is that bad company to keep?
