the only thing missing is the 20th century fox tune

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2018)

I'm a Star Wars fan. Just a fan, not a fanatic. And I loved this movie. What a thrill! Much better then Episode VII.
Well, the story is, on the surface, what can be expected, nothing special, but hey, it's Star Wars. (James Bond will also always be a spy.) It has everything it needs. Action, drama, romance, humor. And, a second layer. You probably have to watch it at least twice to see and understand that deeper level. But it tells us something about what can be expected next.
An other great aspect: for the first time I felt that 3D brought something extra to a movie. It was great to be in space with all my favorites.
John Williams, again, composed a beatiful score. And every now and then an old tune comes along. How does he do that!
The 2.5 hours were over in a flash. I even watched all the titles at the end again. I just didn't want it to end. Just great!
