Who isn't? Not sure if you're aware, but it's a pretty big film at the moment. ;)

I don't feel right voting when I haven't seen, gosh, probably more than half the movies listed. I can't do a proper ranking when I haven't seen all the options....

Out of that list, I guess Revenge of the Sith?

The Force Awakens isn't a good film in the traditional sense, using the standard benchmarks (directing, acting, writing). It's certainly better than we'd all hoped, not as terrible as we all feared. It's serviceable junk food, an okay meal from Pizza Hut. The Force Awakens is no way original or interesting in it's own right but fine for the moment. I saw it when it opened and haven't thought twice about it since. For the record, I have a Yoda tattoo and spent thousands at a charity event to see Revenge of the Sith before it hit theatres. So I guess you can say I'm a SW fan.

I have a strong suspicion that with JJ moving on, the films will only get better from here on out.

It is a well made film unlike the prequels and even Jedi to some mild extent, but ir is not great. It is not the film we feared, and it was even well put together unlike the Harry Potter films and Marvel films. It brought the emotions at the right time that is to say

That doesn't suggest he didn't like CF, merely that he enjoyed SW more

I was, I liked the MJ2 trailers, I like the HG story overall. MJ1 was also pretty decent, but Catching Fire, although I might have been to harsh is Maze Runner level (average) for me.

Pretty much what Thegun says. Don't dislike it, but it's average while SW is whole lot of fun.

Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Pt. 2

the rest of the films listed are superior / more enjoyable

The Force Awakens is definitely not better than:

The Dark Knight
WALL-E
Revenge of the Sith
Inside Out


..... and maybe Mad Max: Fury Road.
