I thought the old guard "phoned it in", H. Ford especially looked like he was collecting a paycheck, or maybe just too damn old to work as "han solo" anymore... Light on plot (same as episode IV), light on character development (bam, Finn changes sides just like that), the new Vader as a "tantrum throwing pimply teen" did not do it for me at all - I was thinking spaceballs, not lord of the sith... But Hey, no Jar jar, no Ewoks (they are all died, did you hear?) so it was not terrible... At the end of the day, it lacked a sense of majesty and WOW factor. The way it was filmed looked almost low budget to me... Felt like it was all shot in a Portland Forest or something. Did not hate it, but I'd say C+/B-.
Takes all kinds....

Pretty much sums it up. It was better than I expected but my expectations weren't very high.
As far as story lines being used over... This has been discussed in other threads - it seems so rare when a completely original story makes it to the big screen. Watching the trailers for the upcoming films before 'Star Wars' began,
every single one was either a sequel or remake. It's becoming routine.
