Non-spoilery reaction:

Fuck, damnit, I needed a warning about the flashing, migraine-trigger lights at the beginning.

I am not impressed with the movie, I am impressed by some of the characters involved.

Finn and Poe and Rey are awesome and I ship it. Mostly platonic shipping, but still. They are adorable together and I want more of all of them. I love them, they're darlings, and they're awesome.

Leia is still my favorite.

ANAKIN SKYWALKER, YOUR GRANDSON IS A WHEY-FACED PISS-BABY!

A patricidal whey-faced piss-baby, but still a WHEY-FACED PISS-BABY.

BB-8 is cute and adorable. And will never be a replacement for Artoo.

Piss-baby Abrams did not need to make such a fucking blatant Nazi reference for the First Order. Especially that Nazi rally parallel with all the black and red and white and the layout and everything. Something a bit more subtle would have worked just as well, and would have been a bit less cardboard-cutout villainous.

Also, "Supreme Leader Snook"? Are we supposed to be roused to hate these villains, or are we supposed to sit and laugh at them?

Piss-baby also needed to be a bit less "lift the plot of A New Hope wholesale and hope no one recognizes it under the shiny effects and the add-ons" with the plot of this movie. Because dude? Parallels are awesome. Redoing a movie is not.

I am not impressed by a stale rehash of a good movie. I will, however, keep the pretty toys that have been provided.
