[QUOTE="ScruffyLookingNH, post: 375781, member: 6563"] Just back home from first viewing. My feelings about it are complex and it's a lot to process, but here's my own initial brain dump: Main thing I took away was that it [i]felt [/i] like Star Wars: not only the characters but the ships, sets, music and plot all did that. Although there is so much of the originals in there it has a tendency to feel a little lazy at times. Overall, very exciting. I think the only thing that didn't really fit was me; I'm not 7 anymore so I did miss the "love every last second" of it. That's not the film's fault, that's life! There are some plot issues I have (really, really big ones) but I'm happy enough to ignore them for what it is. And the CGI creatures still annoy me as they just remind me of the prequels. Personally, I can't put it in 3rd place after ESB and SW, but it is certainly worthy of a place up there with those three. I think a new generation are going to absolutely love it and love it the same way we love the OT. Abrams has rescued the franchise from the filth that was the prequels, I just hope he can build on the characters (some brilliantly promising ones) and deliver a hammer blow with VIII. I'd give it about 4/5. Oh, I have my second viewing in 6 hrs. Must get some sleep. [/QUOTE]
