    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.

        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.

          most critics, not some.

            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.

              They tend to hate everything. They've even satirized this phenomenon in the episodes

                I'm surprised Matt and Trey didn't mock Abrams Star Trek films.

                  Just problems like Rey being a Mary Sue and Kylo Ren being the worst Star Wars character ever.
                  I don't care about a troll who doesn't pay for his opinion telling me how to review movies.
