Saw it in the theatre. Was I entertained? Yes. Do I think it holds up to the classics? No, I do not think that.
Why? It was highly derivative of an earlier SW episode, and i felt it was unrealistic in certain key points of character/plot development in contrast to the rest of the star wars universe laid out in the first 6 movies and also the animated series clone wars, which i was a big fan of.
I think the second one will be better, from the looks of who's directing it, can't recall the name other than his resume of past films has me encouraged.
It was a 'good' movie in the way that JJ Abrams Star Trek films were good, all the stylistic flash, frenetic action, snappy dialogue and big explosions; yet like the Stark Trek movies i felt some of the spirit of star wars was lost in the translation.

I consider myself to be an arthouse film, Tarkovsky-loving snob, but I've seen this film three times now and I've got to say, I bloody loved it every time. Just a real thrill-ride, lots of fun, and I particularly loved Daisy Ridley's performance, she was a complete unknown to me but her performance was a revelation for me.

I was pleasantly surprised it didn't bomb and loved the ending with Luke. Looking forward to the other two movies coming out.

The new Star Wars film is like a video game. It gives you a theme, then you have to sit out 2hrs. watching someone else play it!
