Glad that the first half was good, though you seem to be dwelling on the second half (or are trying not to spoil the first half)

Well... I'm trying to keep away from spoils, so describing the 2nd half is hard.
The first half introduced great characters, had great memorable scenes, and was truly a good start to a new trilogy. The whole second half was nostalgia pandering by doing the same things the other original series did where if you would compare this movie with the old ones the scenes are pretty much the same and your watching the same movie.
The weird thing about this movie though is that everyone is so used to George Lucas being a terrible writer and not understanding how to humanize characters that when you see this movie you feel alienated because all the characters are actually well written for once.
The second half still had it's own memorable scenes that didn't revolve around pandering to the original series. Most notably the final fight with Kylo Ren (The Darth Vader looking guy.) that was briefly shown in the trailers.
The second half still has it's own charm, humor, but the vast majority of it was just going "Oh this happened in episode of the franchise so let's do it again! Oh but with slight differences!"
Anyone hasn't seen any of the original movies or prequels, see this movie first so things come to a surprise. I'm pretty sure that most people know bits of detail about original trilogy's characters and plot and that's enough. At least then you don't have to feel like you already seen the same movie during the second half.
It's still a good B rank movie though. JJ Abrams did an amazing job starting off the new trilogy.
