Why, for the love of midichlorians, did I start reading the reviews, WHY?! I now know what’s up with Luke’s character in the movie. ---

The Toronto Star guy, who is not known for throwing praise around lightly, simply said it was the best movie of 2015. I find that hard to believe but it builds a fairly high floor for how low it can possibly go. ---

I’ve seen it and I think calling it the best movie of 2015 is ridiculous. If you ignore the fact it is a new Star Wars movie that doesn’t suck, don’t compare it to the abysmal episodes I-III and just try to be objective about it when appraising it as a movie it is nowhere near 5/5. ---
