I enjoyed the film. I saw the original Star Wars in the theaters as a kid, and the nostalgia at the opening sequence was surprising and overwhelming. It put me in an odd mental space for watching the movie.<p>I agree with most other commenters that there were a few too many overtly nostalgic references. I didn&#x27;t mind them too much in this initial viewing, but it makes me wonder how well this film will age. I watched IV a month ago and it&#x27;s aged well; there isn&#x27;t really anything in there I&#x27;d consider corny or outdated. I think some of the scenes in this new movie will age poorly.<p>That said, I really enjoyed it overall. I liked that Ren took off his mask early, that certainly added depth to his character. I&#x27;d love to see a movie between VI and VII. I also liked Rey&#x27;s character a lot.
