Terrible

What were they thinking. I can't believe that I fell for all the hype and actually went to the theater to see this... alright I think that I wrote enough, I have a theory that people (or technically sheep) only look at the amount of stars, the summary which is in bold print and possibly the first line. then what they do is click 'helpful' yes or no without even taking the time to read the review and decide for themselves if it was helpful or not. why yes I will jump over this fence, all the other sheep have, it must be the thing to do. lemmings. First of all I really liked the movie, I give it an eight or nine out of ten, it was fun, exciting, suspenseful, dramatic, funny, nostalgic and above all star wars. I was on the edge of my seat in the theater back in December and a month ago when I bought the DVD/blue-ray/bonus I was on the edge of my couch. all the bonus footage is important, back in December I would have given it a five or six out of ten but only because I was expecting more, I was expecting a better, updated opening title and not one that looked like it was made back in the seventies, I was expecting a plot that I haven't already seen twice in the franchise, I was anticipating how much more I liked Chris pine over William shatner (which is really just a reference of how much more faith I had in Abrams over Lucas) and I was expecting to Not see, again,(the reason I checked the spoiler box) an evil masked villain kill it's father figure with a red light saber while others watched helplessly and screamed. yes I was disappointed in the theater but after watching all of the bonus features and then seeing it again at home I found myself liking it more each time that I watched it. Han Solo is better funnier wiser and more complex, Chewie is better and more human somehow, the Heroine is So much more charismatic in this than Luke was in four through six, the bad guy at first wasn't as scary as Darth Vader I realized at home that he is unpredictable and full of rage and that kind of person is more scary than someone who is just pure bad. So many great points; the lone storm trooper, bb8, Simon pegg, Daniel Craig, admiral ackbar, millennium falcon, Maz and even though I've already kind of mentioned her Daisy Ridley she did an awesome job, she lights up the screen and is a Hepburn kind of joy to watch.
