It ain't broke, so JJ didn't fix it

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2017)

I have heard quite a bit of hatred about this movie being too much like episode IV: A New Hope, but the one question I have is what would YOU do differently?
Need I remind everybody that when George Lucas tried to do something completely different than the original trilogy for the prequel trilogy, it blew up in his face. What direction can a villain faction such as the first order head into rather than another menacing death star that happens to be not only a death star? In my opinion it was a good decision.
I have also heard hatred that the dialogue was meant for kids and it was. But why is this a bad thing? This was done in the original trilogy and nobody cared because of the breakthrough.
Without giving too much away other than the new death star, I will say that many were a bit tough on this movie because of the high expectations. Is it the best of the series? No way, but it is way better than the prequels including Revenge of the Sith. All the humorous cracks fit in perfectly to give us a reasonable mix of old and new. Yes, there is new as well. What also stood out for me was JJ's ability to strive for an independence of green screen photography and using more real environments as backgrounds for scenes. This gives a more realistic feel that the other movies lacked most of the time.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Thank you JJ for making us feel like kids again at the movies.
A note to IMDb: Please look at what percentage of voters have rated this movie 8 stars or higher. Why do you place the 1-star reviews under the best category just because many people have responded to them? It has a 92% rating on rotten tomatoes and an accurate 8.1 on IMDb. You are inadvertently spreading hatred for a kids movie that most people really enjoyed. Rethink please.
