Anyone else kinda disappointed with Star Wars Episode 7? (SPOILERS AHEAD)

[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]

  • To me it's like the Jurassic World of A New Hope, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I went into it expecting to just be entertained, so I wasn't disappointed. One of my misgivings about the movie includes the mind trick thing. It makes no sense to me that she would know the "protocol" for doing it and actually pull it off with what is presumably no training at all. Fighting against Kylo's influence and finding out his fear makes sense, but that's because those don't really require the finesse that I imagine forcing someone to do what you want does.
