Get over it already, fanboys. The movie was massively entertaining and better than the originals.

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2017)

I've watched the original Star Wars many times growing up, and I know the story inside out like anyone else. Classic films that many people like my self have been wanting back. I saw the movie today and walked away satisfied and eager for the next one. I read some of these highest rated reviews and it's literally awful how full of yourself and pessimistic some of you are. You're giving the movie a 1 star, for what? Most of you have a delusion of 30 years of fanboy pathetic bias that nothing released will live up to your laughable, impossible to please standards.
First of all, this is a movie, it's pure entertainment. It isn't a real galaxy, it isn't real people, it's just a movie guys. Because it doesn't add up to every painful fan boy theory you wrote in a thesis somewhere, doesn't mean the movie didn't deliver. You cannot take it this seriously. Yes, the movie followed the same guidelines to the plot as #4 that made the original successful, but there is plenty of juicy story to build on that is completely original. It pays tribute to the old, and you care about the new offspring of the main characters going forward. The story does develop perfectly from #6, 30 years later with the offspring and new heroes to root for. It gives us the best x- wing, tie fighter, millennium falcon, storm trooper, battle scene fights in any of the movies. It's modern movie making and CGI at it's best, but still giving us the unique Star Wars elements we want to see. The John Williams score is epic and masterful with the movie. The story ends for old characters in awe, and it starts new interesting story lines for other old characters continuing the story, like Chewy and Luke.
This movie had to get people excited about Star Wars again. The 2000 movies weren't very good, so it had to go back to the guidelines of the original story. I suspect this movie will reflect closet to the originals story guidelines, because it had to deliver what we wanted, and the next two will develop entirely new unique adventures and story for the new heroes that will, through the characters family lineage, constantly pay tribute to the old.
After reading some of these, it seems people put the originals on a pedestal. They were very good movies, but not everything was explainable or made to prove science and follow every law of nature. It's a movie. It is made to be fun, and you can't take movies that seriously. Most movies going back, including the originals, are all like this, it doesn't always have to follow physics like it seems hardcore Star Wars fans think. I don't think the movie was perfect,I would have liked to see Fin and Rey's relationship go deeper so I cared about it more. But it was very close, and the main pieces we've been waiting for have come back and are as good as before. Nothing will replace a classic, but we don't have to because this story is excellent on it's own.
Just appreciate what it is, it's definitely the best Star Wars film made. It was exciting, extremely fun and satisfying, and I loved every second of it. Rey, Poe, and Fin are going to be fun to watch, and I can't wait to see Luke's role in the next one training Rey and seeing how she can harness the force against Han and Leia's kid. I took my girlfriend to see this movie, she had only seen part of the originals but somewhat knows the back story, and she knew exactly what was going on and absolutely loved it. They made it very watchable and entertaining for any level of fan. Very good movie.
