I dont care about plot holes. I do not know how evil has returned to the galaxy, I just know it has. Why is Rey so strong? Don't know, she just is.

People always act like every movie they see has to have some award winning story to be good. Makes no sence as nothing is original anymore. Everything borrows from something else and not every director is a Christopher nolan. If you don't like him, I think you still get what I am saying.

I loved it. Only saw it once though.

According to The Farce Awakens apologist, the force awoke when Rey touch the lightsaber. That didn't happen with Luke or Anakin (the choosen one), but somehow with Rey. And thus, she became a Master Jedi capable of mind tricks and defeat a Sith Lord trained since his childhood by Luke.

I would like to add that some things annoyed me, but not enough to not enjoy the film. I swallowed the whole Rey super Jedi thing for a bit, but it did get a little out of control.

Was it lazy to basically rip off the first movie ? Sure, but it was still a fun time watching them take down another star destroyer.

The last three were watchable and this was better than those three. For those who say this was trash, obviously you did not see The Phantom Menace. That was trash.

I think calling a trash any of the 7 movies is going to far, but saying TFA is better than the OT or nitpicking that prequels have certain flaws and ignoring the same in the last one is hypocrite.

Edit: Not pointing at you, just pointing around the web. I've seen people that says TFA is the best movie ever, and not only from the SW sage, but overall. I mean, c'mon.

Errr ... pretty sure the "Force Awakens" as soon as Rey flies the Falcon, there's a scene right after where Snoke tells Ren that's there's been an awakening in the Force, have you felt it, blah, blah, blah. 

The problem with the prequels aren't neccessarily things like "plot". The problem with them is far more fundamental than that ... they're just incredibly poor written with terrible characters, awful acting as a result of a terrible script, no emotional connection for any normal movie goer, etc. etc. It was like watching top tier actors like Ewan McGregor and Sam Jackson and Natalie Portman act in a play that a 8th grader had written, it was painful and embarrassing. I genuinely felt bad for Natalie Portman. 

It's like a house that's built on a crooked foundation ... it can't function properly as a house from that point on no matter what else it has inside. 

TFA is a decent movie built on a solid foundation, it's on par with any of the better Marvel or Harry Potter movies. Is it as good as the Star Wars OT? No probably not, but not much is. The Star Wars prequels are in their categorey of suck with the dissapointing Matrix sequels and Hobbit prequels (probably worse than both of those to be honest).
