Some people are annoyed at jj abrahams because their complaints he ruined star trek and some people cant forgive him for that. And think he ruin star wars as well.
I havent seen the film yet but im not a die hard fan to be in any rush.
But at same time dont shoot the messenger for what i wrote im only reading different people opinion on the film and jj abrahams on the net.
But got to be better than the previous 3.
Star wars was a landmark film in film history and was well ahead of time for when it was made amd a true masterpiece. . And even now its still stands test of time and even with todays technology some films still cant quite get there in comparison considering how old star wars is.
Here's my issue with people who complain about J.J Abrahams. Ok, star trek was dead, very f*****g dead. It was finished outside of fan produced stuff for youtube, novels and other niche stuff. Its ratings were stuffed on TV and the films were a case of diminishing returns. I get that people think the Trek films were too much of a departure but its set in an alternative timeline and in no way effects the main trek universe, Trek fans who don't like the films can literally ignore them and it wont matter at all. All its really done is draw a new audience to the characters that probably were far too put off by the years of back story and continuity that was bogging the whole series down. Suddenly Star Trek is a mega hit for the first time in years, plus in the wake of that success I hear that a new show is being commissioned.

As for star wars, similar issue. George Lucas seemingly does not understand his audience one bit. Aside from the decent clone wars and Rebels animated series this is the most fun Star wars has been for years.
