Force Awakens thoughts.... spoilers ahoy

It's better than any of the prequels by miles. It's NOT as good as ANH or ESB or ROTJ.

It's a mixed bag. I abhor the stuff regarding the Death Star 3. LOVE everything else about the movie.

Unclear of the fate of the Finn Character.

So many many many questions about Kylo Ren that will nag the shit out of you after you see this. Why did he turn to the dark side? Ya serious? He wants to bring Vader back and honor his Grandfather? Why doesn't ghost Anakin tell him Vader was a mistake he made and not someone to look up to. I'm lost on his motivation and would prefer he not be linked to Vader.

This is basically Part 1 of one giant film that we got going here. Like many have said, this is NOT a stand alone self contained movie.

No return of Boba Fett, wow... All the shit about there being too much fanservice is bullshit. It's all winks and nods, nothing more. Barely a blatant in your face thing going on here.

Phasma is truly NOTHING in this movie. Might as well have been some no-name general like in every star wars movie. Should have mandated that she go toe to toe with Finn or Solo or some shit. Mind you, I think she'll be in the future movies. But her character is truly pointless.

Well, it's a fun movie, GENIUS moments mixed with Star Wars Rebels episode, very light on fleshing out the characters though. You won't get that, but at least it has a main character that we're focusing on instead of Lucas' prequel style where you don't know who's the focus. We have an established group of bad guys now although it's very unclear who the hell they are and what they want to accomplish. We know Palpatine was seeking the secret to immortality. What the fuck is these guy's ambition in life?

Solid 7/10.
