It was both exhilarating and sad. I think that this movie punched me in the gut emotionally even more than Revenge of The Sith. When you start having the feels for a Droid we've never known before, you know that the movie is doing something right. And the score wasn't too bad but nowhere near as memorable as any of John Williams' scores. I think the fact that Giacchino came in so close to the end, replacing the originally assigned composer probably had something to do with it. What I liked the most about the movie is that it made the Rebellion feel like something bigger than what we originally saw in ANH and made the Empire seem more menacing/powerful like we saw in TESB (and Stormtroopers actually hit their targets more often than not).
