Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2015)

This film, compared to the rest of the titles, was bound to get mercilessly torn to shreds by Star Wars fan boys. Most of the negative reviews I've seen are more about people comparing the movie to the original trilogy (which is nearly impossible to measure up to), or about people being upset that the film wasn't what they expected or wanted. Sure, it would've been cool to see a couple different things happen and maybe I would've liked it more if character X did this instead of that... But I'm not J.J Abrahms.
The movie was great! Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish for returning fans of the series or new comers. My girlfriend saw it with me, had not seen any of the other movies and has no interest in sci-fi, but still loved it. Well worth the price of admission.
*** I will say this; some scenes in the movie are more exciting/entertaining if you have seen the previous 6, but it is not necessary to enjoy the movie***
