There are spoilers here. There have to be. Turn back if you haven't watched "The Force Awakens." "The Force Awakens" is good, not great. There's a lot to love: All of the new characters show huge amounts of promise, the humor is on-point and the action sequences are stellar. But there's a lot in the movie that doesn't land, and as the story progresses it begins to spiral out, too afraid to do anything new. Rapturously good characters and sequences are balanced by lousy story and lousier storytelling. It is the first "OK" Star Wars movie.
