I saw it recently. I went into it very pessimistic because I hated J.J. Abrams' Star Trek. I thought that this Star Wars movie would be similar: mindless boring action, completely unlike the originals, and packed full of stupid references. I was pleasantly surprised, however. It captured a lot of the feeling of the original trilogy. I loved it. I especially like how it focuses so much on the characters. Some say that it was a copy of A New Hope, and while there are definite similarities, I didn't find it distracting at all. All of the criticism is just nitpicking, really. Everything has flaws, and there were a handful of brief moments where I cringed a bit at something stupid, but I definitely recommend seeing this film if you like the original trilogy.
I think this is the first film I've seen where I've wanted to watch it again so soon after seeing it. I'm tempted to go see it again once it hits the cheap seats. And I'm (cautiously) very excited for the sequels.

I think J.J. Abrams did a great job. Imo it's one of the best Star Wars movie ever, well after the empire strikes back. Overall, it was entertaining and classical as how star wars should've always been. Watched it twice in Imax and it was bloody amazing.

I haven't yet.  It's only available in 3D imax here and the nearest imax cinema in my place is about 6 hours drive on a bus so I haven't seen it yet. Maybe I'll just wait for an HD copy on the internet. You guys might know where to find one? |

If I go I will need a place to stay overnight because it will take a whole day to go back at my place. I hate traveling at night. Also my budge is tight so my best option is just to wait for a copy online.  |

I have not been able to find the time to watch it. But from the look of things, it seems to be something that I must watch. I have in deed scheduled it for this coming weekend and i hope that I will make it to watch. I will share soon.

Don't get me wrong they did a fantastic job on all the settings and graphics but come on guys, did you not see how blatantly they ripped off the originals? They even used very similar or outright copies of camera shots from the original films. The reason it was good was because they went for the easy option of just re-hashing the original storyline and putting some new characters in and then there's all the plotholes in the story that were there like the female lead suddenly gaining jedi powers with absolutely no explanation whatsoever.
I liked the background of the stormtrooper because it finally gave those generic bad guys some camera time but everyone else is being too distracted by the fantastic battle sequences and sounds to care.

*Potential Spoiler Alert* Everyone keeps complaining about Rey's abilities and I didn't find it that distracting. I don't want to give away too much for those who haven't seen it, but you have to realize she spent most of her life obsessing about the times of Luke Skywalker. She knew about the Falcon and Han Solo, she had a former rebel pilot's helmet, and doll of a rebel pilot. She probably heard about ever legend of the Force. So if she knew about the skills of the Force she would try them herself once she realized that she could use the Force. |

So if she knew about the skills of the Force she would try them herself once she realized that she could use the Force. Yes, but none of that was shown in the film, so as far as I'm concerned it's a major plothole where she magically gains force powers for no fucking reason whatsoever. If you remember in the original films they did that whole thing where Luke went training with Yoda but with Rey they completely skipped that and left it out. It's people making excuses for bad writing, like with other stories I shouldn't have to dig through some obscure canon story outside of whatever product I'm sold to find all the reasons for this, also you seem to be making it up so it's likely they haven't explained it outside of the films either. It's like how the Avengers magically communicate without headsets because they just completely left that detail out, that can end up being really distracting for people who notice that sort of thing, even the most simplistic super hero stories though always give some sort of explanation as to why a main character gets super powers all of a sudden like with spiderman getting bit by a radioactive spider or something. |

Wasn't really a Star Wars fan going into the movie but the friends I went with were. The storyline and action were entertaining. I didn't understand why some things were going on but the effects were well done. Apparently it scored a 95 rating on a critic site but my friend said he didn't think it was a 95 quality movie..whatever that means. I would recommend waiting until it comes out on Blu Ray/DVD.

Loved it!
Abrams re-work of the first Star Trek was O.K.
But I watch Into Darkness a couple times a year still.

Actually i never watched any star wars episode. I'm not interested to watch because it has many sequels and i may just be confused if i were to watch the latest episode and it might force me to watch the earlier prequels... 'Im lazy to watch them...haha
I just go along with what i am seeing in the internet if my friends are taking about. Thats how i caught up with some of its plots
