lol. keep telling yourself that enough and you even might start to believe it.

what people are you referring to? The same people who hated it day one and still do, and have spent the past 4 months trying to convince everyone it sucks? 

Its fine not to like the film, peoples tastes are all different. But it does too many things right for it to be garbage. For instance, I did not like Birdman at all really, just did not click with me, but it clearly was not a garbage movie, it just did not suite my taste. 

TFA has very good to excellent acting, solid character development, great action, suberb effects and sounds, pacing was spot on, and its story telling was excellent. Its only true flaw was a somewhat rehashed plot, and the plot did not have much "meat" on it. For me its a top 3 SW movie, and it might be number 1 or 2 depending on how I feel it holds up my 1st DVD viewing(that will tell me if it will have staying power for me). 

And is a complete unoriginal copy of episode 4 ignoring decades of filmografy.

As they say...kappa!

Great character development he says... why don't you tell me who ray is?Why was she left in that planet? Why don't you tell me wich planets/star systems were destroyed and why we should care? Why don't you tell me how Leia conveniently wasn't in one of these? Why don't you tell me why the new republic ignored this empire remnant(?) or new threat? Why dyd kylo feel so strongly the dark side to do what he did? Great character development, it all made perfect sense!

And don't get me started on "magically splitting laser beam" (i mean, i can overlook that it would take centuries to travel to the targets for the sake of urgency... but magically splitting?! WTF?!). The movie was trash. Full of plot holes and scientific abominations. I never hated on the prequals. I very much managed to enjoy them even though i hate prequals cause i know the ending. But episode 7 was pure and simply a bad movie. Ofc old timers will think... oh nice they used props instead of CGI 10/10. Ridiculous...

Rey is an orphaned scavenger who lives a solitary, lonely life who discovers she has a larger destiny by the end of the film and finds a new adopted family. 

Alderaan is destroyed in the first Star Wars. Why should we care? 

The prequels are just garbage cartoons, there isn't one relatable human being in three movies. TFA mimicks ANH but at least you believe these characters actually care about each other.
