Don't mind the haters. It is awesome.

So yeah, it draws heavily on Episode IV, but so what? It's been almost 40 years. I welcome this nostalgia-filled adventure that gives us everything that worked for the first trilogy and none of the mistakes of the second. It introduces new characters in that familiar universe and they are going to be the heroes for a whole new generation. Deal with it.
People who gives this movie 1 star are not judging it. They are comparing it to some idealistic Star Wars Episode IV that they remember seeing as a child. Step back for a second and see it for what it is, a thrilling and humorous space adventure that pays homage to the classic movies and shows great respect to the movie heroes of our generation. It is predictable? So was Episode IV, unless you weren't paying attention. Some characters and situations are exaggerated? Yes, did you watched the first movie too?
J.J. Abrams did a great job, and the cast is awesome too, specially Daisy Ridley as Rey. They couldn't have find a perfect actress for the role.
