Ignore the vocal minority of jaded, clueless (friendless) nerds

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 2017)

As a 30 something who grew up on the original trilogy and like so many others was utterly disappointed by the prequels I went into viewing The Force Awakens with great anxiety and reservation. This movie delivered in so many ways. I am not going to write a detailed or even general review of the film as I truly feel one should go into viewing knowing as little as possible.
This is one time I think the critics are on track, as evidenced by the overwhelmingly positive reviews and Fresh rating from critics on rotten tomatoes. It's actually higher than any previous Star Wars movie--including the much praised Empire. My advice is this: Try to sit in the theater and enjoy this movie. If you try to dislike it... you might just succeed. But I can honestly say this is the most fun I've had watching ANY movie in a long time. P.S. Don't watch this with a negative nancy type imbecile, watch it with someone who enjoys fun, exciting and well made movies!
