Don't go in with too high expectations

Rating: Null/10 (20 December 2015)

I was so excited to see this, perhaps too excited. I had watched all of the theory videos and trailer analysis videos and thought I had things figured out. So when I saw it the first time, I went in with preconceived notions and a critical eye, so I ended up disappointed.
After reading some other comments saying it was much better the second time, I decided to try again. This time I went in open-minded and tried to view it as pure entertainment, not 'real life.' It was MUCH better that second time. I really enjoyed it. So yeah, OK, I missed on a few of my predictions but so what.
So the two main parts that bugged me even after the second time: there were a lot of themes/scenarios that seem repeated from the original trilogy; and there were a handful of deus ex machina type events that gave me some WTF moments.
It does end in a cliffhanger, but as the first movie in a trilogy, I can handle that.
See it in 3d in a theater with reclining seats.
