Perfect formula for a successful franchise

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2015)

I loved the new movie. I have read plenty of reviews where people tear it apart and rip on it for repeating things the franchise has done in the past. Please chill out. This movie is the next in a classic FRANCHISE. You can't be upset when a franchise follows the formula and pattern that makes the franchise successful. Rocky boxes in every movie. Fast and Furious has lots of fast and crazy car chases. All the Jurassic movies have dinosaurs and mistakes by people. All the Harry Potter movies have magic. Star Wars has light sabers, fights, droids, and good and bad Jedi knights. This movie follows the formula of the first three movies that were very successful because this movie wants to be very successful. J. J. Abrams knows how to make a successful film or television show. If people are ragging on the movie, please remember that it has been almost 40 years since the last good movie and this one was better than Episode IV. Please don't romance the past and remember the movie as something better than it was. The originals are wonderful and classic, but this movie is amazing and follows the formula to keep the franchise successful.
