I liked it a whole lot most of the time, but there were a few things I didn't buy and a couple of things that just made me roll my eyes. I'm hoping to see it again, maybe after New Years, and might be able to compile a blog post of my thoughts then. Finn and Rey are, of course, still amazing.

I cannot believe myself either! I agree - I saw all the prequels cause you just had to - but I was never super impressed with them. I always just wanted to watch the original three over and over.

Pretty much all the movies I accept as Star Wars all share equal footing as my favorite. ;)<br /><br />We totally agree on a redemption arc for Kylo Ren.

I'm pretty sure that's a good confession. In the movie world, all you have to do is bad-mouth the prequels a little and suddenly everyone will respect you opinions on all movies, no matter what! :P :P <br /><br />I love this review.

Even the parts that broke my heart were so well written and acted that I couldn't get mad. Love, love, love the new characters, especially BB8 and, somewhat to my surprise, Kylo Ren.
