I saw it on Saturday. Not too bad...feels like it could fit right in with the original three movies in the "feel" sense. I liked how they still included goofy stuff like a shot of a weird muppet-esque bird bashing it's beak into some metal object...just to add some of that atmosphere.
There were a few honky moments like R2D2 randomly being shut down and then just coming to life at the most convenient time for the plot...I didn't quite get why he was out in the first place. And, when you think about it, the idea of there being a map to Skywalker makes you wonder who made the map in the first place and how it got lost...but it's best to not think TOO much on Star Wars...they're designed to be pretty simple storylines. I saw it with my parents and really didn't have to explain anything to them outside of the names of a few of the characters.
I was pleased to see that Andy Serkis plays the new Supreme Leader villain...that dude's a great actor so I'm hoping the villain will be worthwhile. Loved the fight scenes and the part where Rey inserts her will on Ren and reads his mind was pretty sweet. (Also, apparently Daniel Craig plays the Stormtrooper who Rey uses the Jedi Mind trick on which is pretty cool since I didn't recognize him).

I liked it. Plenty of action and cool stuff to look at. Too many elements from The Empire Strikes Back, but I understand that they're trying to link the old movies. How much more can they do? I think George Lucas finished doing all the cool stuff when he made Episodes 1-3. I understand the talk of these 9 movies being the end of the Skywalker story. It's been told. I enjoyed the untold mini story in Rogue One. I'm looking forward to the Han Solo movie.
I don't know if I like the funny stuff or not. Luke "milking" that big creature and drinking it was goofy/lame but somehow funny. I liked that it was mostly to weird Rey out. The kid me would be appalled to see the great Jedi Luke Skywalker doing that, but I just don't care anymore. It's a movie. Rey pissing off the Jedi-temple-upkeep-maid creatures by blasting a hole in the wall and then taking out their wheelbarrow was funny.

Also not that pumped for Episode IX because they didn't leave a whole lot unresolved, the way VII did.
