A worthy sequel, with some weak spots.

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2015)

A good continuation to the Star Wars franchise. The scenes felt right, the space combat and effects were great, CGI was not abused and JJ Abrams managed to control his propensity for non stop Action to add a few subtle moments to great effect.
I liked it but I had some misgivings for some heavy handed writing of basic story line elements and inconsistencies with established standards of universal elements from the previous movies. (The force and Hyperspace for example) There were a few plot holes that begged for explanation that cannot be discussed without spoilers.
Overall a good movie and enjoyable experience.
It is important to give a nod to the actor Daisy Ridley (Rey), she was a breath of fresh air and did an excellent job portraying Rey's strength of character and physical competence without unbelievable levels of She-Fu foolishness.
