I don't get the Force Awakens criticism

it was liked by both critics and fans. Yes, it was similar to Star Wars, but it was still a good and very entertaining movie.
No, it's not.
IT IS THE SAME MOVIE AS STAR WARS FROM 1977. Instead of doing a proper sequel which they have 40 years worth of EU stories they could have adapted, they instead basically remade the first movie called it a sequel and idiots like you fell for it.
It sucked. And I will not rest until the whole world finally acknowledges that fact. -

Agreed, It is a remake that basically cast the original actors.
The funniest part is that it basically crapped all over the Expanded Universe stuff too - now called "Legends." It even took elements from the EU stories in the process, which does make one wonder why it wasn't just set in that universe.
Because now they can make a whole bunch more crappy novels and comics - and get the fanboys to buy it all over again.
A real space station could have been built for the money that has been produced from Star Wars! -

Since TFA truly is a bulletproof movie, South Park panning it is their way of TROLLING US! Hahah. The criticism that it is more of a reunion or retread is something I reject. A millenial Sith Lord and female Jedi is original AF!

Kinda a mixed bag for me. Sure, it had some cool scenes, but other than "you know who" dying, no real shock factor. The planet weapon should've shown a helluva lot more destruction. The nostalgia was nice. Not a movie I'd buy on DVD or go back to the theater to see. It is on HBO, and I did watch it again. Same result though.

When I first saw it the nostalgia was right there, because we hadn't seen those actors on screen in over 30 years. I think many people were blinded by emotion.
The more I think about it, though, the less I like it. I have a feeling the film won't stand up well to time.
When logic and science aren't on your side, you always lose.

OP, corrected it: it was liked by some critics and some fans. Yes, it was similar to Star Wars, but it was still adequate at times but also cringey at times, and a very promising at times and narm at times movie.

Force Awakens is almost A New Hope for this generation.
I don't personally see a lot wrong with that. I still enjoyed the movie.
I don't really care if the new movies are terrible or not. I have the old ones to enjoy and the extended universe. I'll let the new generation enjoy this one.
