Perhaps the best protagonist yet

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2016)

The movie is not bad, which is a good start.
The star wars that was lacking in the prequels are definitely back! Everything surrounding the light side is in my opinion better that anything ever in star wars. The dark side however feels clumsy, incompetent and have a badly written plot borrowing a little to much from previous movies.
The fighting scenes are quite minimalistic. Nothing close to the fast phasing acrobatic force wielding dual-saber action that the prequels have given us. If that is a good thing or a bad thing I leave up to you to decide. Perhaps the characters will improve in coming films and reach that level of fighting.
Over all I would say it takes the number 3 spot, only being beaten by A New Hope and of cause The Empire Strikes Back. If you'r a star wars fan you will enjoy most, if not all, of the film.
