Why not just see it for yourself and form your own opinion? There are a few movies I enjoyed in which my trusted reviewers didn't or just didn't like as much as I did.

That was the logic behind my watching the prequels, and see how well that turned out. Sure, reviewers can be wrong, even ones you like. But they're also often right, and failing to watch a good movie isn't exactly the worst thing in the world you can do--it's not like I'll otherwise spend those two hours jabbing forks into my eyes or something. I haven't watched the entire BFI or AFI top 100 films yet, maybe I'll try one of those. Forgo one good thing for another good thing, it's a wash.

On the other hand, I often regret my choice to give the prequels a fair shake, instead of jabbing forks in my eyes. Fair shakes are overrated.

Considering the prequels are what they are I'm sure JJ will have made the film at least watchable without having to be inebriated. I'd say worse case scenario it will be a 7/10 film. Also if the movie end up being great you'll regret not being there on that historic opening night.
