Forget the reviews giving 1 out of 10 stars!

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2015)

For all the people giving this film 1 out of 10, I say shame. Saw the film tonight and it was very, very good. Maybe not above IV, V, or VI, but very close. Seems that most of these individuals point to similarity in scripts of IV and VII, and there are some that I would have liked changed. (Similar dialogue at critical points, and the super weapon) Beyond that though, this script was original, and it had more twists and turns than any previous episode in the series. I loved the film and can't wait to see what is to come. I feel attached to the new characters and how their journey will continue to unfold. I gave the movie 10/10 rather than the 9/10 I would have simply due to the unfounded reviews by other fans who wished that the story had perhaps mirrored all the hundreds of Star Wars books they have read over the years. Many individuals have been anticipating and dreaming of the day when they could continue the story of Luke, Leia, and Han, and to many of these individuals nothing this movie did would have done justice to the series. Look yourselves in the mirror, minority of Star Wars fans. This movie may not have gone the way you would have wished, but purposely grading it below any reasonable standard simply because of your differences is just plain immature and petty. Get over it or stop watching. Get over your own preconceived ideas of what the movie should have been and grade the film fairly. I cannot personally see any true Star Wars fan giving this film less than a 7/10 regardless of their unhappiness with certain plot details. To anyone having second thoughts about the movie due to the handful of horrible reviews in contrast to the vast majority of highly positive ones, don't second guess yourself. Go see the movie and judge for yourself. This is a truly great film in the Star Wars franchise.
