Which makes it something the hagiographic appreciation of which I just don't understand.
I can understand why I liked it when I was 12. Not sure why 35 year olds like it so much (I understand liking stupid stuff, I love Jackie Chan movies; I just don't claim they're good movies). As sacrilege as it may be to say, The Force Awakens falls pretty squarely into the same category for me as the last Fast and the Furious movie. Surprisingly fun to watch, almost painfully stupid if you give it more than 2 seconds thought.
So worth seeing, not worth seeing a second time.
