Do not be ashamed to enjoy experiencing this as history repeats itself

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2015)

This movie is getting so much crap (1/10 ratings?), why? For those that say that this is lacking in creativity, I'm baffled. This movie sets up so much that IS new ...but I guess I can see how a person might get hung up on the similarities with the OT. All I can say is that this movie left me thinking "THIS is Star Wars!" There are corners of the movie that I know I'll be going back to. Like the OT, there are characters that are briefly touched on that I can speculate endlessly until episode VIII comes out. This movie had way too much at stake not to have SOME fans disappointed ...we all loosely envisioned our own ideas about the future of these characters and so much time has passed to think about what this movie could have been. I loved the characters and I actually loved the history repeats itself nature of the film. If you accept this part, you will be THRILLED with what you experience. I gotta give this movie love, it woke up the real feel of Star Wars in me. THis Star Wars feeling has been missing since Jedi and I'm sooo on board with where we're all going. :)
