An enjoyable Re-Introduction into Star Wars

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2015)

I'd like to give it a 8.5.
First off you will find the movie in many ways familiar, which is intended and something I like about it. If you are a person who's against everything new, you will have a hard time with this movie.
This movie does a great job at picking up old structures and repackaging them for the viewer. In my opinion this is great; the younger generation will have a easier time finding their way into the Star Wars Universe, while the older generation gets a lot of nostalgia which felt great.
Many questions arise throughout the movie, but this is to be expected for a movie that I would claim to be a introduction.
At first I thought of the characters as being shallow, but the closer you draw to the end of the movie, the deeper they become. I am sceptical towards Finn though, he seems too funny and twirly most of the time.
**Spoiler** Against what most people say: The way I remember it coruscant wasn't even targeted by the Death-Planet.
Kylo isn't a real Sith. He is a troubled boy who isn't evil but is trying hard to be the bad guy (which fits for his role but leaves the movie with the lack of a true villain). Additionally he lacks skill with the lightsaber (though he had several years of training) and gets beaten by an untrained force-user. Yet there's potential for him to become evil.
Sadly you don't get to know much about most of the characters which makes them feel a little shallow (but can be easily fixed with SW8) and Kylo isn't "villain" enough, the movie loses 1.5 points.
Summary: It's a very enjoyable movie which can be seen as a re-introduction into Star Wars. It contains a lot of nostalgia, fun, great scenes and costumes and a whole bunch of new and old characters.
