I loved this movie. Like, really really *loved* this movie. And I am really saddened that Internet cynicism is going to destroy it.
-Finn and Rose’s plot is not pointless. It goes on longer than it should, but it’s not pointless. The theme of the entire movie is finding ones place, and Finn’s arc got him there and introduced a fun (maybe not interesting, but fun) character with Rose. The casino scene is my biggest gripe with the whole movie, but that’s more because it takes Star Wars out of the frontier and into civilization, which is always going to look stupid.
-Leia in space is fine. She has the fucking Force, you unimaginative, insufferable peasants. Stop your fucking whining you entitled little pricks. For the last time, FUCKING LASER SWORDS.
-I absolutely LOVED that it laughs in the face of those thinking some bigger mystery had to be in play with who Snoke was and who are Rey’s parents. That over-analytical conspiracy theory bullshit always irritates me and those people deserved to be let down. I keep reading, “Why build Snoke up just to kill him off?” Snoke was not built up. He was evil, we got that, really nothing else to go on. No time developing that character was wasted since no development was made. It’s not his story. Not everything needs a backstory.
-Rey and Kylo fighting the Praetreon guards might be my favorite scene in any SW movie.
-Loved going out on a ground battle.
-Best Luke movie. Hands down.
-Kylo was the most interesting character in TFA and this movie confirmed that.
I probably could say more, but I’ve got shit to do.

Though, I will say this: It’s probably the least nostalgic SW movie. It’s different. More different that Rogue One.

Confession; I laughed out loud at most of the jokes. Genuine laughter.
Observation; the sold out 7pm audience was mostly 'eager' for the first 3/5 of the film. The Snope scene had everyone on high alert and cheering.

Yes, I also laughed out loud at the jokes. The dialogue is certainly very different this time out, and I think that’s contributing to it not feeling like Star Wars. Some of it is a little shaky. I don’t remember what it was, but I remember something in there that was by far dumber than “Droid, please,” which wasn’t as bad as sad, broken individuals would have you believe. No, the dumbest lines in Star Wars still belongs to a long list of things from the prequels.

Trust me, it would have been hilarious in 2011.

I'm glad people love this. I am not one of them. 3/5.

I thought that was great, and funny for being different/unexpected. I would have liked to see them play more on making fun of Hux throughout. There are a couple of small moments later where his interactions with Kylo are amusing.
But... the humor in this does feel a little more "Marvel-y." Still funny. But it's another area where I think Force Awakens was a little bit better.

I agree with 95% of what Josh said in his posts. It’s a very good movie. It played it safe with keeping to the Empire Strikes Back plotlines. But since Empire Strikes Back was the best Star Wars movie why not keep to that formula.
