Better than the older fans want you to believe. (No Spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2016)

J.J Abrams has no without doubt constructed and delivered the best Star Wars film since Return of the Jedi. Better yet, the best Star Wars film after Empire and A New Hope. Jedi isn't as definitely having good things in it, but without doubt planted the seed for what was to come in the Prequels. Ewoks anyone? Like I said though still a great film, but not Star Wars good..
Evidence of this is by the wonderful cast of familiar and new characters, particular stand outs are Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley. The action was great, story while familiar still works, which worked wonders in the past. J.J borrowed the best, while adding his unique touch. As he did with Star Trek and Into Darkness.
An example of this is, Terminator to T2: Judgement Day, are both similar and yet the details are different enough to stand on its on. Something like Terminator Genisys tried something so outlandishly different to where it doesn't even feel like a Terminator Movie. Which they complained about, but the opposite etc?
It did a wonderful job bridging the gap of Jedi to a new story. Practical effects were 10/10. I think the older fans are but hurt that more people are exposed to a new generation. Remember Empire initially got a mixed reception and now it's regarded as the best film... TFA is far from perfect but a step in the right direction, as much as those trolls online want you to believe.
