If you are a fan of Star Wars, and particularly if you grew up with it, this movie is just what you're looking for. It lives up to the hype. It is the movie we hoped for with the devastatingly disappointing "prequels".
Prior to seeing it, I read some negative reviews focused on the lack of originality, and how it's just a rehash of the old story - nonsense. My guess is these people are either not fans of the series or simply trying to be "opposite guy" to get attention. There is a nostalgic appeal in the film, but your not hit over the head with it.
It is very entertaining, visually stunning, funny, and even touching at times. Most of all, it is very "Star Wars". Yes, J.J. Abrams has successfully recaptured the magic of 1977. Not a small accomplishment in today's world. Don't miss out!
