For reference, he's 15 years old and has never seen any of the previous 6. He wanted to watch at least the original trilogy before going to see 7, but just could not get through the first ten minutes of Episode 4. "Bad fight scene effects, boring robots walking in the desert, C3PO is annoying." (Yes, I know, I fail as a parent.)
His classmates, who did see at least some of the previous 6, loved 7 as well.
The movie was AMAZING. I rewatched all 6 movies before going to the premier, I had quite the expectations, and this movie managed to overcome every single one of them.
Brutal lightsaber duel, amazing Resistance vs. First Order battles, and the new generation of actors were all spot on. Kylo Ren was excellent as the movies' main villain.
Of note, I am someone who grew up with the Prequels, and loves all 6. This movie I can easily place next to Episode 5 and 3, which are my favorites.
I will be watching it again today. Go see Episode 7 Southperry.
