stop hating this movie!

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2015)

How are some people actually hating this movie? Don't listen to the haters, they are all whining fanboys who know nothing about how a quality movie is supposed to be.
(Spoiler free section) This film is well acted. The actors have such charisma and likability to them, these are characters you care about. You wanna see what happens to them. You don't want them to get hurt or go through torment. They are fantastic.
It is shot beautifully. Wide shots to show off the beautiful landscapes, low down angles when Kylo Ren walks to show how menacing and important he is, close ups of characters so we can see the sweat on their faces, showing how worried and difficult their situation is. The action is also shot beautifully, with creative angles to add a sense of fun to the action scenes.
The plot is very well done, and it keeps you interested and on the edge of your seat.
Great atmosphere to each planet. Great tone and feel.
Great themes in the film that are very strong and powerful.
The film has a great sense of fun and adventure.
Negatives? Some elements slightly derivative of a new hope, although adds a spin to them that makes it fresh and interesting. Doesn't ruin the film.
SPOILER SECTION!!! TURN AWAY WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!
OK. The crawl grabs your attention and is fantastic. Luke Skywalker has disappeared, this grabs our attention right away and makes us interested.
The first shot with the ship blacking out the planet is powerful. It shows the dark nature of the first order and the darkness to come.
When the dying stormtrooper wipes his bloody hand on Finn's helmet, this is very impactful as it shows how Finn is experiencing the horrors of war for the first time, and why this changes his view on the first order.
The first order are very brutal and their methods are very brutal, making us worried for our heroes as they are going up against brutal, ruthless villains.
Han Solo is fantastic, he is wiser yet still like Han Solo. His character has the right amount of development carrying on from the original films, and his and Leia's reunion is a great moment for their characters.
BB-8 is so damn cute man, his relationship with Poe is just amazing. He treats BB-8 like a pet, not like some slave-droid.
Finn is likable and smart, and he has a great arc. At first he wants to get away from the first order, cowering and running, but then he fights for what he loves (Rey) and accepts to be a hero.
Rey is comforting and cool. She starts off wanting to go back to Jakku, waiting for a family who won't come back, and denying her fate, but then she accepts her fate, and by the end she lets in the force. A very good arc for her character.
Kylo Ren is amazing as a villain. He is not whiny or emo as people say. He is a young man who is conflicted with his emotions, like any normal person would be. He wants to let in the dark side, but he is conflicted with the light. When he takes off his helmet, he looks pathetic, but that is OK because it humanises him, makes him a more human character, and this is a good contrast with the beginning when he is menacing.
When Kylo Ren kills his father, Han Solo, this is a great scene. It shows that Kylo Ren had the chance for redemption, but he ultimately chose the dark over the light, which is a great contrast to Darth Vader. Darth Vader did the opposite, yet he wants to be like Darth Vader. He is a flawed character, he is human, yet he is still menacing. A great character.
At the end, they find Luke on the island. He says no words, making us excited for the next movie, we want to know what he found, why he was their etc.
Negatives? The Starkiller base is like another Death Star, but they add new elements such as it being an ice planet, and it's energy charging from the sun, making it still fresh, so not really a problem. Rey on Jakku is a bit like Luke on Tatooine, but instead of a farmer living with her aunt and uncle, wanting to leave, Rey is a lonely scavenger, selling parts for food, wanting to stay. So it, again, brings in new elements making it feel fresh and new, so not a problem.
Overall, pretty much a perfect film. 10/10 for sure. Watch it now, guaranteed to make you a giddy 5 year old again. The people complaining are just people who like to complain or people who don't like it because it's not the originals. Don't listen to them.
