drealmer7: right, so he did direct the first one? which means I'll never watch it
which means I'll not watch any of the others after it
You won't be missing much. But you can watch Rogue One, it has nothing to do with the new trilogy and it was pretty good. And there will be more of those standalone movies, with Solo and Obi-Wan. And I'm pretty sure the rest of the new trilogy won't really reuqire seeing the first movie. It's not like it had much of a story, and what it had was a rip-off of a story you already know anyway. which means I'll not watch any of the others after it
Still, while Force Awakens is really weak, I don't get your crazy hate for Abrams. His first Star Trek was good, Super 8 was really good, even Mission Impossible III wasn't bad (at least for that franchise). Unless you just hate his keyboard music.

OMG the first Star Trek he did is abominable and blasphemous disrespect for the original stuff. Atrocious. He is THE RUINER. Never saw Super 8 (no interest)
MI III was bad
Armageddon is the only thing remotely bearable of his and it's pretty bad too, only slightly made better by the stellar cast

Every director makes a piece of shit or two in their careers. The one pet peeve I have is condemning something they haven't seen just because they heard it was bad or they didn't like the guys other work, or the movie poster was stupid. PLEASE don't be the dork that does that. :P I'm not saying you would like it, but at least you can say "I watched it and it sucked." When I rip the LOTR movies I do so after having watched all of them.....and wishing I hadn't. :P

oh it's almost something I'd NEVER do, but I do it for JJ Abrams and M. Night Shyamalan and Joss Whedom. I've watched enough of their stuff to know they are just horrible writer/directors and have no desire to waste any more of my time on their shitI think you are going a little overboard here.

I watched the animated The Grave of the Fireflies with my mum and she found it way too slow.
Any Studio Ghibli films I have not seen yet are certainly on the list to see some day.

I don't know, rather than looking forward to watching them, I'm usually more worried they won't hold up to the big hype anymore or they will reveal what a philistine I am, getting bored by supposedly great classics. ;)
Some classic movies I haven't seen yet and probably should one day include The Seven Samurai, Dr. Strangelove and Apocalypse Now. (There are lots more, but these come to mind right now.)
