Just came back from the cinema, dying to talk indepth but unfortunately not everyone has seen it yet.
I'll be as non-spoiler as possible when I say that it is an okay movie for the general movie public and a great movie for fans.
I think the 6,7 to 7 that Metacritic was showing yesterday is pretty much right on the money, however if you are a diehard, dyed in the wool Star Wars fan it is easily a 9+.
The tone and style is very, very different from the saga movies (as evidenced already by the trailers) but it is very fitting and a welcome change.
Overal for the general movie movie going public - 7
Overal for Star Wars fans - 9
Worldbuilding - 9
Creatures - 7
Droids - 8
Ships - 8
Acting - 7
CGI - 8
