I watched it.
But as I hate franchises his argument didn’t wash with me.
As I mention in the comments I only like Raiders and the first 20mins of Indiana Jones and Incredibly Racist Movie of Doom as films because it’s the only time there seems to be something new going on. The Last Crusade is as not for me as Jedi and Crystal Skull is another PT movie.
Similarly I don’t enjoy the Terminator sequels or Aliens as much as I’m culturally obliged to because they are too parasitic on the first superior film.
Writing stories isn’t as difficult as people seem to make out and TFA has the advantage of having interesting well acted characters and a director that moves around a bit.
I’m fed up with references, it was bad when Chewie did the Tarzan thing in Jedi but it’s almost as bad when you get it happening in the same series.
Maybe I’m just getting too old for contemporary culture.
Television does this sort of thing so much better too.
I had moderate expectations of the film when I went in (after 3 PT films and Prometheus) but I came out feeling nothing much. I think I’ve been more energised about the film talking about it here than actually watching the thing.
