B- for me.
Rey was too perfect imo, that last battle was complete bullshyt
I can agree with that rating. I'm on the fence about Rey-- I thought having her pick up jedi mind tricks as quickly as she did and beating Kylo were both pretty far fetched. I'll let it slide if we begin to see more of her flaws come out in the next two movies. Luke stayed catching L's until becoming that dude in
Return of the Jedi-- failure is an important part of the hero's journey, we gotta see them screw up and fall short before they begin to actually get it.
Finn was more interesting and would have made the better protagonist IMO. He felt like he had more of an "arc" and legitimate moral flaws he had to overcome by the end of the movie. Hopefully he doesn't stay nerfed...
B- is a pretty good grade for this movie.
(for reference: )
A New Hope: A (all-time classic movie and a great start to the series.)
Empire Strikes Back: A+ ( Need I say more?
)
Return of the Jedi: B+ (the only serious issues I had were the Ewoks and Boba Fett going out like a punk)
Phantom Menace: F (Podracing and Darth Maul are the only real redeeming factors IMO)
Attack of the Clones: F ( That love story
)
Revenge of the Sith: C- (Palpatine was so blatantly obvious-- if ANYONE in that movie had used common sense for five minutes, it would have been a wrap)
