It's great for what it is. A Star Wars movie.

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2016)

In comparison to other movies, this won't win any awards for Best Picture of the Year, but it's awesome for what it is - Star Wars. It's just like the original trilogy, and as some people complain, it might be too much like the originals. There are obvious plot devices that are re-used for nostalgia, but I appreciate them as a fan. My only gripe is the Star Killer Base - C'mon, seriously. THREE TIMES?!? WHY?
Besides that, the acting from all the new characters were charismatic and it was a pleasure to see the OG crew as well. I only wish that the score was used more effectively - it's John Williams for crying out loud! He should be front and center of the movie.
Some people might think that are too many plot holes, but that's because we are thrown right into a new story. Many things need to be inferred by the audience, and that's because the writers trust that we, the audience, are intelligent enough to figure it out.
