Star Wars: The Force Awakens is some kind of miracle. It works on every imaginable level - as a heartfelt love letter to fans, an irresistible invitation to newbies, a visual marvel and a blockbuster of unparalleled emotional heft and cultural significance.
The rollicking, space-opera spirit of George Lucas’s original trilogy (you can safely forget the second trio of cynical, tricked-up prequels) emanates from every frame of J.J. Abrams' euphoric sequel. It’s also got an infusion of modern-day humor that sometimes steers the movie this close to self-parody—but never sarcastically, nor at the expense of a terrific time.

The film ultimately runs up against the limitations of its own nature.... But it’s still an exhilarating ride, filled with archetypal characters with plausible psychologies, melodramatic confrontations fueled by soaring emotions, and performances that can be described as good, period, rather than "good, for 'Star Wars.'"
Abrams had the benefit of learning what didn’t work in Lucas’ prequels, and he’s gone in the opposite direction. He’s also set an interesting course for moving forward with this engaging cast playing new characters making their way through this beloved universe.
If Abrams didn't take many chances, he didn't make many mistakes, either. First, Do No Harm became Don't Mess With Success, and it worked. Show Me the Money is sure to follow.
The reassuring familiarity of Abrams’ approach has its limitations: Marvelous as it is to catch up with Han Solo, Leia and the rest of the gang, fan service takes priority here over a somewhat thin, derivative story that, despite the presence of two appealing new stars, doesn’t exactly fire the imagination anew.
You can choose to understand The Force Awakens as an embrace of the mythological tradition, in which the same stories recur over and over with minor variations. Or you can see it as the ultimate retreat into formula.... There are moments when it feels like both of those things, profound and cynical, deeply satisfying and oddly empty.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a GOOD STAR WARS MOVIE for the fans and they brought back Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher before Carrie Fisher passed away and they brought back Luke Skywalker before last Jedi ending horrible

Just okay... good if you like a blatant duality type remake of A New Hope, bad if you wanted an original storyline.
Report
I really think it's a nice way to iniciate a trilogy. Introduces great characters such as BB-8, Rey and Kylo, some others not that good as Finn or Poe and rescues legends as Solo and Leia.
Technically completely flawless to my eyes. My main problem with it was its script, way too many plot holes, nonsenses and recycled storylines from the original trilogy.

It's a simple play by play of A New Hope, no originality at all.

Bad just bad the characters are bad
