Despite some slight issues, still one of the best movies.

Really people? Saying you're not going to see another Star Wars movie? Get a life in all honesty. The fact that we're all still here seeing Star Wars movies literally 40 years after the original came out is evidence enough that we are all going to continue to accept anything that is thrown at us. And, in addition to that, we have lived through some pretty rough Star Wars moments: the ewoks. The special editions (don't even get me started on the song "Jedi Rocks." Also, Vader screaming "NO" as he throws the Emperor into the reactor shaft is one of the worst scenes in cinematic history. It literally killed the climax of the original trilogy). THE FREAKING HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!!!!! Ewok tv shows. The Phantom Menace. The abysmal CGI in Attack of the Clones. Anakin and Padme's romance. Padme dying from a broken heart. The Clone Wars movie (not the TV show. The show is incredible). We are going to live through all of these things, and yet people are still going to complain because they didn't like the explanation about Rey's parents or the fact that they made a new plot and Kylo Ren doesn't just come back to the light like Vader did, but instead kills his master and becomes an even greater villain than he already was.
Is this movie perfect? Absolutely not, but what movie is. You can even look at some of the best rated movies of all time and they are not perfect. Did I love every second of this movie? Not entirely. Finn and Rose's story wasn't the best. Phasma still sucks. But, LUKE FREAKING SKYWALKER??? He literally did things with the force that no one had ever imagined was possible before! Crashing a rebel cruiser through a Star Destroyer at light speed? Such an incredible scene. The awesome WWII style bombers that take out the dreadnought are amazing. Rian Johnson, while not a perfect script writer, did an amazing job with this movie. In his defense, there are a lot of new characters in this new trilogy and he did a great job of trying to balance the old and the new.
Finally, all of you naysayers are probably just the people who could only find one major complaint with The Force Awakens: it's similar to a New Hope. So your major complaint about a very well executed movie is that it's similar to literally the first blockbuster of which it is a sequel? Furthermore, you criticized the prequels for being too different. And for anyone who's saying it's a carbon copy of IV, I'd like to ask, "Where's the second sun on Jakku? Where is this mystical missing Jedi that they're searching for in New Hope?" The similarities are there, don't get me wrong, but they are 2 seperate movies. And can you blame Johnson for taking risks? Abrams got ripped apart for not being original enough. So Johnson does what people wanted and creates a new story that phases out the old Star Wars gradually while bringing in the new generation of heroes. This movie is incredible and anyone who tells you otherwise probably thinks that Hayden Christensen's line about sand is one of the finest moments in Cinema as well.
