It's been about two weeks since I saw it (Dec 24), and I still haven't completely digested it. I liked the movie, don't get me wrong, but how does any movie successfully live up to the hype The Force Awakens has faced?
What impressed me from start to finish was how much TFA looked, sounded, and felt like Star Wars. The prequels didn't achieve this for a combined 60 seconds, but TFA was so Star Wars, they absolutely nailed it!
About half way through I started thinking, 'this is going to be a goddamn cliffhanger, I bet.' Then bam: 30 seconds of Luke and see you next Christmas. It annoyed me, but I'm over it.
Having successfully avoided *all* spoilers and news for the past ~18 months, I had no idea what to expect, but what a fun movie! All I wanted to do after the credits rolled was go home and dig through my Star Wars video games and play them non stop.
