I saw the movie last night and enjoyed it. I was entertained and not bored throughout the 2.5 hour runtime. I thought the acting was mostly good which is the main reason Id rate it ahead of the prequels. Adam Driver is a far better actor than Hayden Christianson and I thought Mark Hamill and Daisy Ridley played their roles well. Would have liked to see more Benicio as I liked his character. You have to remember that Star Wars is designed primarily to appeal to kids so things like character development and plausibility and laws of physics and realism don't always need to apply. This isn't supposed to be "The Godfather" or anything. I enjoyed it more than most of the Marvel movies that are geared towards the same audience. If you try not to be too critical or expect the greatest movie ever I think you'll be entertained.
