Don't bother with the waffling reviews, see the movie and judge for yourself

Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2016)

Having watched SWTFA several weeks ago now, I have given myself sufficient time for consideration of an appropriate reply. However, I think as a 47 year old who was around for the original trilogy, I would like to leave only one simple piece of advice. Watch the film for the enjoyment factor first and foremost, save the analysis to the posters here who have 2 hours to spew blah on the comparisons to previous films, directors, themes etc etc, ad infinitum. I wanted to feel like an 8 year old again and did. The rest is just cornflakes. The opening credits, the X wings on the horizon across the water and Solo on the bridge of the falcon should be enough to jog the emotion cells of anyone who has an imagination. Don't bring baggage by reading 50 reviews, just get blown away by the feel good.
