Thoughts on new Star Wars?
I saw it in 3D and wished I had just viewed the regular version.
As to the movie, it is like they just recycled the original from 1977 and put a chick and a black dude in place of the 2 original white dudes. The rolling round version droid looked like the cheesy robot updated from the cheesy Disney movie "The Black Hole" and is a good indication of Disney's future in the movie business.
Disney sold off their quality mid level movies to focus on big budget and low budget as they provided the best ROI even if the movies were not actually good or well made.
You can spend all kinds of money on special effects but hiring a single good writer will run circles around it, sadly Disney will not hire good writers. Even with his limited screen time, Mark Hammil still can't act his way out a paper bag and Harrison Ford was probably the smartest one for having them kill him off before the next movie got worse.

What are you basing this on?

You know he's one of the most accomplished and recognized voice actors today right?
I liked the movie pretty well. It's up there with something like Avengers 2, Jurassic World, Mission Impossible 4-5, or the new Star Treks. They're not groundbreakingly spectacular movies or anything, but they're fun and serviceable.
SciFi/superhero movies that get better reviews from me are like Ex Machina, Mad Max, Edge of Tomorrow, or Guardians of the Galaxy. I like it when people take chances with obscure plots.
JJ Abrams does a good job of taking a stale idea, making it pretty palatable to the masses and then turning it into an above average movie. And honestly when I see a movie like Star Wars, that's what I want.
Plot holes on Star Wars don't piss me off. Plot holes in something like Interstellar (which I love sans 15 minutes of) piss me off.
