A solid OK

Rating: 6/10 (10 January 2016)

You may have heard about the unoriginal plot, the plot-holes, the tepid script... its true, all of it. The force is not that strong in this one. But hey, i'm among those who were blown away at the age of 12 by episode IV, so I may be jaded and biased. I was super excited ever since TFA was announced in 2013, and then anxiously waited for weeks after its release, devouring the worst IMDb reviews just to keep my expectations in check.
Visually this is NICE! and more engaging than the prequels overall. Hopefully they will put as much hard work in the story and characters from here on.
