I Really Enjoyed It

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2015)

It seems that people who state they disliked it believe that their opinion is more valid than the opinion of those who loved this movie.
There is always a backlash on any movie that is this popular or anywhere near this popular. I remember when Titanic came out and there was plenty of hate for that as well.
I won't spoil it for anyone who is on the fence about seeing this movie. I will say I went with my 16 year old son and we both enjoyed it a lot and intend to see it at least two more times in the theater before I buy it on the day it is released.
This is the first movie that has felt like Star Wars since 1983, in my eyes anyway. You feel the danger in every battle as stormtroopers are now able to aim their weapons and hit their targets. There is a limited number of ships and troops so it isn't a confused mess on the screen anymore. You can tell who is who.
Star Wars has never been about writing a science fiction Oscar winner. It has been about amazing visuals and characters you care about. I cared for the new characters in this movie far more than anyone created in the prequels.
I have many theories on where the movies go from here and I am very excited to find out which of my theories (if any), will turn out to be true.
