I enjoyed the film. I saw the original Star Wars in the theaters as a kid, and the nostalgia at the opening sequence was surprising and overwhelming. It put me in an odd mental space for watching the movie.
I agree with most other commenters that there were a few too many overtly nostalgic references. I didn't mind them too much in this initial viewing, but it makes me wonder how well this film will age. I watched IV a month ago and it's aged well; there isn't really anything in there I'd consider corny or outdated. I think some of the scenes in this new movie will age poorly.
That said, I really enjoyed it overall. I liked that Ren took off his mask early, that certainly added depth to his character. I'd love to see a movie between VI and VII. I also liked Rey's character a lot.
