Objectively, better than the prequels, not matching the originals.

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2015)

I understand all those bad reviews, because people who were most obsesses with the Star Wars universe feel the urge to speak out. But in my opinion the 1/10 voters are simply ****OVER*****exaggerrating. The film is great, if you consider what it has to live up to. I went to the cinema not expecting much, and to be honest I went quite prejudiced because I refused to believe that Disney could do a decent job with this. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. I believe that the started up with secure grounds, repeating the original story a bit (ok, maybe a lot) but it was also giving a familiarity to the whole thing. Considering this is 30 years post-war, it is understandable that things are not that different from where we left them and -I hope this does not sound as a spoiler as the cast is already known, the fact that the old protagonists have a lot to do with the plot line and how the characters behave, it is understandable that they act similarly, the old ones do what they know and the new ones try to live up to the legends.Up to that point, all repetition is acceptable. There is one point of course where you understand that Disney simply went too far with copy-pasting in the sake of securing the whole "sticking with the original trilogy recipe" plan. But overall I have a hope that this was a testing for 8 and 9 to see what was too much and what not. I have hope that the following film will be better, but I still have to give a fairly good rating to this one. To me rating it independently from the others, objectively, this film does not deserve lower than a 6- 7.It's a good film guys. It simply isn't awesome.
