Just saw it last night!
Very good throughout, very solid "Star Wars" feeling, amazing set design that
makes it feel as the logical continuation of the original trilogy.
The story is simple and straightforward, sprinkled with more than a few direct
connections to ANH and RotJ.
CGI is sparingly used. Well, it's used a LOT, of course, but if there is a
practical way to do a special effect, it's usually done practically. There were
a few instances where something was needlessly over-CGI, but there is more
needless CGI in the first five minutes of TPM than you find in the entire TFA.
As for the returning actors, all I can say is that Harrison Ford pulls it off
effortlessly, while Carrie Fisher... not so much.
I was afraid to have expectations, but if I secretly had high hopes, it was
adequately met. There are things to comment on, a few small details that
bothered me, but more on that in a spoiler heavy post.
