People need to lighten up

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2015)

I saw this movie in a sold out theater. Families, couples, young, and old patrons. Excitement was in the air.
I read some of the reviews on IMDb and people need to lighten up. Yes, everyone has their opinion, but the dramatic, over the top negativity seems rather extreme and desperate. What gives?
I felt delight and was transported back to 1977, when I saw the first Star Wars. I ended up seeing it 11 times. This new chapter was very much with the flavor of the original and with the continuation of the original characters. Also some new ones.
The details of this film have been written about ad nauseum, so I won't go into any details. I will say the the acting was great. The newbies, Rey and Finn, were wonderful. The original ones, Han, Leia, and Luke, were moving.
This was a fun film and brought back emotions from my childhood. What more can one want? I think JJ did credit to the film franchise and I am looking forward to the next film.
