I was prepared to hate this film but I enjoyed it. Emotional Experience.

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2015)

I came it with mixed feelings for this film not knowing what to expect. The intro was pretty good, introducing the character of Kylo Ren and Oscar Isaac's Pilot for the resistance character. All in all, the intro was handled well, as was the introduction to the female lead Rey. It hit me that this was going to be a good film when Rey and Finn get in the Millennium Falcon and do their thing to get away from a couple of First Order baddies, I got emotional and from then on it was an emotional roller coaster.
There are many good things about the film, comparing it to the prequel is unfair, I am one of few who really enjoyed the prequels, and if I have any qualms about this new film is how the lightsaber duels are inferior in quality to the prequels' saber action. A slight bother was how Finn and Rey handle their duels well while basically being novices and never being trained in the Jedi Arts. There is nothing here remotely good as the Phantom Menace's end of film duel or Yoda VS. Count Dooku or anything from Revenge Of The Sith, so to knock the prequels is unfair when you compare to just that one point but I don't want to ramble any longer. It will be interesting to see how the series develops and I am looking forward to Rey's Jedi training and possibly Finn's? And seeing Luke in action as well.
