I fail to understand how anyone could be complaining about the title already, as if they already know the plot of the movie and what title suits it best.

And as for the word "Awakens" in the title, of course it's a metaphore and not to be taken literally. The continual puns about the Force having been asleep aren't getting any funnier.

Could be wrong in prejudging, but a metaphor as a title feels pretentious and a touch melodramatic. In the end, the title doesn't matter that much and I do want to stay positive. But by way of analogy, renaming "When Harry Met Sally" or "The Princess Bride" to "Love Awakens" would be groan worthy.
