Very good for what it was.

Come on people, what DID you expect? I've been scanning these scathing reviews for a while now and can't believe how nobody can take anything positive from this movie.
I'm a big B movie guy. I love them for what they are not their content so much. I've sat though some really low budget, bad acting crap that I got a kick out of. This is far from a low budget B movie. Was it more of the same? What the heck did you people expect? I was not disappointed at all.
Yeah, rebels, bad guys, pi$$ poor new wannabe Vadar. Badly named Emperor. I mean Snoke? Bigger Death Star. Bigger hole to blow up. Little rounder R2D2. On and on. Loved the original 3. Still have not seen the prequels. But I rented this last night and enjoyed it FOR WHAT IT WAS.
Lighten up people. It's a 3 part story, and this was just the set up. And it's grossed a billion dollars world wide. Couldn't have been that bad. I'm just seeing a bunch of purists crying home to their mamas about how their expectations weren't met.
I understand what your crying about, but me and my wife both thought it was good. So it's a rehash, I get it. But good none the less. Although I will agree I was glad to rent it and not have seen it at the theater.
