Okay, I am going to attempt a spoiler-free review on "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." With that in mind, I'm going to be keeping an eye on comments to make sure none of them contain spoilers (purists might want to play it safe and not look at the comments just in case one gets by me).
So I've seen this movie twice - once in a normal theater, once in IMAX. Both times 3-D, because, it's 3-D. The fact I've seen it twice should give you a clue about how I feel about this movie, but just in case it doesn't, read on...
If you liked the first film that came out (and if you didn't, why would you go see this one?) you are going to love this movie. While it doesn't quite capture the initial "Oh, wow!" of the first film, TFA manages to put together a film that is enjoyable and hearkens back to the humor and drama of the first film.
J. J. Abrams is a fan of the franchise, and it shows. From the first scene onward, you can tell he and the people working with him love this galaxy far, far away.
The new actors work well in their roles and our old friends are good to see. Because I managed to stay (relatively) spoiler-free there were a couple of surprises waiting for me in the film. I liked that.
The film holds up well to a second viewing and I would not object to a third. It's not perfect - but it's wonderful entertainment. You definitely get your money's worth.
So, why are you still reading this? Go see this movie! <grin>
