I at least think the girl who played Rey has some on-screen charisma but she's not a credible portrait of a threat. Like I used to play lotsa sports and there's a certain way athletic people move given their biomechanical structure and you could tell she's not very athletic which lends no credence to the notion that she's a fighter.

Kylo Ren...this dude is a joke of a villain. Disney traded somebody who can actually do choreographed fight scenes for what I guess is the face of the standard of beauty now??? Girls are into dudes with long hair now, right??

I also think Disney was going out of their way to cater to the politically-correct demographic. Oh and then all the artificially-injected humor. Like Han's quips weren't enough...we had to go and adda bunch more "funny" scenes which came across more cheap tricks than anything. I don't have a problem with girls but there were so many superfluous inclusions of female (and male) speaking parts that in no-way added to the film, like the pilot scenes...there was so much pilot chatter and cut scenes to marginal characters. Even the female captain of the storm troopers. I thought she was gonna be a bad @$$...nope!! NOTHING. Couple marginal speaking parts and back to obscurity. You can tell that they wanna appeal the gender-neutrality crowd...who I doubt even constitute a sliver of the pie chart of the demographic of the star wars fan base.

And the plot...the plot is what killed a lot of the series' magic. It's basically a rehash of New Hope, but without any charismatic actors (barring Rey from that statement). There was nothing new, absolutely nothing new except for a reimagined light saber design and new storm trooper uniforms. Everything else has already been seen...

The great acting performances of Ewan McGregor? GONE!! Not even replaced. The awesome choreography? What's that???

I happen to think it's mostly a flop tho. I hate how just watered down all the action has become. There was like no fight choreography whatsoever. Like watching kids go out to the park with sticks and playing pirates.

Disney and JJ Abrams better get it together or pack their bags. I'm not feelin' Marvel films since Disney took over either.

I honestly don't even know where to begin pointing the finger 'cause so many things were wrong with this.
