[spoiler]The guy and girl main characters were kind of meh. It seemed like the trailers were building up Finn to be the one destined to learn the force, yet it ended up being the annoying female that is amazingly lucky and bullshit. I mean, how is it she basically mastered the force enough without any practice to use the mind tricks and even fight again Kylo Ren's mind searching force trick? Since when did she learn how about how to do all these tricks? Overall, her character just annoyed me and I'd rather Finn had been the one with force powers.
Also, the movie was pretty good, but it was like I was just watching Episode 4 made in 2015: you have a "Obi-wan, you're my only hope moment" at the beginning as well as what is equivalent to the scene where leia's ship was boarded in Episode 4, there's a planet destroying weapon threatening the rebel base, and there's a trench run. Some of the jokes were decent, but it seemed like it was trying really hard to ride the nostalgia of the old movies with jokes like the trash compactor and what not.
Overall, the movie had great special effects, beautiful scenery, and wasn't that bad. I'd probably watch it a second time around.[/spoiler]

I completely feel the same way with it being episode four from 2015, I'm fine with rey being the Jedi of the two, but I feel like her learning some powers could have been done a lot better. The film was sooo fast paced, I was happy with the amount of back story we were given, but I felt like maybe it could have been a bit longer, with some more time devoted to the talking scenes, especially with Finn and rey, the two main characters were barely in a scene together that they weren't running around. Otherwise I though it was a good film, I definitely enjoyed it but I [u]wish[/u] I hadn't had spoilers about kylo ren being Han Solo's son and killing Han Solo
