Don't give in to hate!

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2015)

I seriously don't understand all the negative reviews on here. People who claim to be Star Wars fans are giving this movie a score lower than the average rating of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This movie is not only competently made, it is filled with wonderful, interesting new characters and breathtaking action sequences. The story has real heart. I was completely captivated and along for the ride within the first few minutes of the film. Folks are complaining of too many call backs to the original trilogy. Some very small elements are admittedly a little over the top, but the nods to the past are implemented with infinitely greater taste than than they were in the prequels. If you're a fan of the original films then you will love this movie. If you're obsessed with the extended universe and are butt-hurt that they killed it off, then no movie made 30 years after the originals will ever satisfy you. Turn off your computer and go read your Star Wars books. You're blood pressure will thank you.
