Why all the hate?

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2019)

I really liked this movie! Yes it's plot is similar to "A New Hope", but the execution is different enough to make it feel fresh. I've seen it twice. In Theaters in 2015 and today. I wanna quickly mention, that the cinematography by Dan Mindel is extremely underrated! It should at least have gotten an Oscar nomination. The score by John Williams is great as always, though not many original cues. "Rey's Theme" and "March of the Resistance" are however exceptions. Overall a really great experience, great characters, dialogue and a flowing pace delivered by J. J. Abrams. A 4/5 stars from me.
