For mine it sits very comfortably with Episodes IV, V and VI from the point of view of engagement wrt acting and directing.
There is a LOT more story going on in VII, some of which we were only given snippets of and will probably have to wait until VIII and IX to fill in the gaps and answer the new crop of questions.
The new characters Finn and Rey are great - especially Rey. For mine the jury is still out on Kylo Ren - mainly because his charater wasn't quite what I expected. For Han and Chewie it was like they had never left.
From an effects point of view the lack of cgi was actually very refreshing. Loved the cinematography and effects.
I saw a 3D screening early Thursday evening and was pleasnatly surprised that I didn't have to rest my eyes at any stage. I'm hoping to go and see it again at an iMax theatre as this is where the movie is said to really shine.
I think Mark Hamill said it best though:
"You've been here, but you don't know this story... Everything’s changed, but nothing’s changed...."
Whichever way it goes I hope that you enjoy it when you do see it.
