One of the best movies I've seen in a long time!

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2017)

I usually don't do reviews but there is an overwhelming amount of bad reviews of people who obviously have too much time to write books about how bad they thought this movie was, but in my opinion they don't do this film justice by giving it these bad reviews.
But everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. I think there is a difference between not liking a movie subjectively and to simply just trashing it because of it. And I think that doth not make a review at all. It is just hateful for personal reasons.
J.J Abrams, Disney aside, has realized a movie that is not only aesthetically beautiful but also the characters, the story-telling, the build-up of the characters is in many ways what I wanted to see after the debacle of episodes 1-3, aside the great performances by Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor.
With its anamorph film look, going back to the old movies with the many humorous moments between the characters, the gorgeous film stills, the characters we love such as Han Solo, Chewbacca and great new characters such as Ray, Finn a.s.o.
Of course there are some things that could have been done better. There is basically always something that can be done better in every movie. Also in episodes 4-6, except if you are blinded by your nostalgia fandom of the old movies. The old movies are great and are a true pinnacle of sci-fi movies and a true inspiration for so many movies that could not have been possible without them.
I watched this movie without trying to compare it to the old ones, I mean seriously how could you compare it. They were made a few decades ago.
I think this movie is great and I am eager to see how the story unfolds.
