Hate is the path to the Darkside

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2016)

I celebrate the freedom of speech, but I am truly amazed about how much hate has been poured into the user reviews for this movie, looks like everyone is tearing it apart and still it has a strong above 8 score, what tells me that the great majority thinks is awesome but only haters speak aloud, and again, they have the right to do it, but those who support the movie should do the same, and that is why I'm writing this.
I've seen all kind of reviews, from call the movie a farce because it is a disguised remake up to comparisons with Twiligth and Maze Runner, and, as everyone has right to an opinion, mine is that they are totally wrong and completely missed the point of the movie.
The Force Awaken has strong parallelism with the original saga, and the people criticizing this as a poor remake, failed to see what was done with the elements of the original Star Wars. JJ Abrahams took the core of the best movies ever, as a hot old coal to reignite a powerful bonfire.
A space station able to destroy a planet, more powerful than the Death Star... that is the logical escalation in a war, you start from known technology and increase it and improve it, it has been just 30 years in the story, and for example, we still use airplane fighters since WW2 until the middle east conflict, faster, more powerful with improved tech but airplane fighters still, so, for me, Starkiller Base makes perfect sense in all of this.
A droid with fundamental data for the plot of the movie, yes, but not the blueprints of the space station, but the key to find Skywalker... The plot now is about mystery, about why the only Jedi remaining had to go into hiding, and makes perfect sense, because Obi-wan Kenobi and Yoda did the same when the Empire was built, and if Kylo destroyed everything that Luke made, he was forced to look for other solutions.
A death of a main character to inspire a plot twist. Han Solo is not the new Obi wan, because is not just the fact that his dead moved Rey into decision making point in the story, his dead also plunges Kylo into the dark side, is the perfect illustration of free will and consequences... and it is one of the basis fundamentals of the Jedi Myth, the dark side is an option.
People who destroy the movie, in my opinion, are just blinded by the parallelism, used as core emotion to revive the franchise, and fall to see the new characters, the new stories, everything that is being created and that is growing from the strong bases of George Lucas fantasy.
Rey as lead character was just PERFECT, Finn story is awesome, and Kylo as a flawed villain is just exquisite. The introduction of a new generation into Star Wars was flawless in my eyes, and JJ Abrahams delivered a movie that give us enough room for imagination and put the seed of doubts that flourish in the right curiosity to learn more about this universe, even when we think we knew everything about Star Wars, that's why this movie was perfectly made.
People, this was the beginning, a raw reminder of what was good in the original movies and just a taste of how excellent is going to be the new stuff.
And besides that, life is a cycle, and a lot of stuff trend to repeat itself.
Do not hate, because that is the path to the dark side, try to understand and enjoy instead.
