Occasional Movie Quasi-Review: Star Wars: The Force Awakens

All I really have to say right now is:  wow.
I. Freaking. Loved. It.
As with most movies of its general type, it's better at setting up the (more-or-less) denouement than it is actually pulling it off... But the first part is, IMO, so bloody great that, by the time the criticize-able bits roll around, you've already fallen for the flick hook, line and sinker...or at least I had...
I've got gripes...but they're for another time. I can't remember the last time a movie made me say "holy shit" under my breath twice. I might change my mind on subsequent viewings of course...but damn, I surely did love it the first time through.
