    Oh my god... its been 30 years since ive seen a SW movie that actually felt like a SW movie.

    JJ did an amazing job mimicking the style of episode 4 and figuring out what made it great.
    Every character is established and grows and.... Kylo Ren is what Anakin should have been in the prequels. Even better, it feels just like the expanded universe.
    A few complaints, but not many. I cant get into them without there being spoilers so i wont.

    8.5 of 10.0
    Easily on par with Jedi.... im going to have to see it again to catch all the nuances and details but its teetering on amazing.

    I'd give this a high 8/10. It was pretty amazing.

    Idk if id go so far as an 8/10. But it was great!
    So Ive seen alot of reviews that have all been mostly positive,but their biggest bitch about this flick is that it leans to heavily on the nods of the original trilogy, basically it seems that it is more or less too much fan service for the likes of these critics. I'm gonna have to go ahead and call Bullshit about that.
    Now correct me if im wrong. But isn't a True sequel supposed to not only acknowledge the events of the previous films,but also keep sum sort of continuity with the overall story? Well in my opinion thats exactly what JJ Abrams accomplished. Thats the reason he was a perfect choice to direct this .This movie Felt like a Star Wars flick from top to bottom. Every Character, every set ,every visual felt like it belonged. Hell even the Light Sabre battels were stripped down like the Original.
    Ive seen every one of these movies in the theater(,and not that remastered crap Lucas released 20yrs later either)except the first one , cuz it came out the year i was born. This flick is about honoring what the Original Trilogy was. I honestly think Abrams did a Hell of a job. Considering the amount of pressure he had to of felt. He was the perfect choice to direct this solely because he was a Fan.
    Anyways Fuck those Critics. If Your a Star Wars fan you will enjoy this flick!
    Good Movie.

    I haven't seen it yet, but if the biggest complaint about the movie is 'fan service', I'd call that a win. Considering the movies are supposed to be likable and for the fans. Two things the prequel trilogy felt alienated from, I'd say without even seeing this, that its better than the prequel trilogy.

    I've heard the performances and acting were all pretty good as well. Something else severely lacking with the prequels.

    Fan service is hardly a legit complaint FFS. Its supposed to be for the fans. You don't make Star Wars movies for fans who aren't fans of Star Wars lol.

    Perfectly stated! If a Star Wars movie isn't deemed something for the fans it has failed IMO.

    Saw it last night. AWESOME!!! My kids loved it and are now full-on SW obsessed. Can't wait for Episode VIII. Daisey Ridley did a great job. Absolutely no issues with the acting in this one. BB-8 Rules!

    I just took my son to see this in IMAX 3D earlier today, as every good father should.. If you're a dad, take your kid(s) to see it.. I would've taken my daughter but she wasn't interested.. ah well.. she has issues.. BUT ANYWAY.. I agree with several of you, a high enthusiastic 8/10 from me. I feel it delivered the goods where the prequel trilogy failed on so many levels. I might've given it a higher rating if there hadn't been SO MANY parallels to the original episode IV's story.. but I didn't think it was all that detrimental, as the movie was a blast from beginning to end. Definitely recommended.

    People don't really realize that its a "soft reboot" or "sequel reboot" of the series.

    Negitive. I highly disagree. This is a true Sequel. There is nothing soft to reboot. Its a direct continuation of the saga. Yes there are new characters to follow. And yes there are plenty of parallels to the Original.But there is still plenty of storyline following the original hero's path from ep.IV until now.
    I think your mistaking Reboot for Revived or Renergized . Its A great Star Wars sequel, but Reboot its not.
