Have you ever tried to make a gourmet meal over a fire pit? That is exactly what J.J. Abrams had to do with this movie. Some people expected him to make a movie that will somehow surpass one of the most iconic movies of all time. He had expectations put on him that were astronomical but has to stick with a story, characters and plot that was "revolutionary" back in the 70's. Honestly, he does pretty good. I wont say this movie is perfect or flawless, but it is a movie with great call backs and just enough feel of the originals while still keeping up with the times. Having read some of these reviews I feel bad for the people that made this movie. They cant win. This is a great movie. Visuals are stunning, great camera work (for the most part), acting is good, action is amazing, yet these Star Wars lovers (generally) wont accept this is a good movie. Why? Because your girl friends cooking is never as good as your mama's.
