Overall, ok movie. Looking forward to the possibly more darker sequel.
Not a big Star Wars guy as in I don't know that much about the lore/extended universe. Haven't seen the I-VI in years.
Kylo wasn't as menacing and stuff as I wanted him to be. But maybe the journey that will make a terror will be more fun to see unfold.
Finn, didn't mind him.
One of my favorite scenes was when Kylo was losing his shyt Rey got away and those two guards backed back like "fukk this shyt".
Rey was probably my biggest problem with the movie. Mostly the force stuff.
Good at wiring stuff - Makes sense with the savaging thing.
Good at flying - Calling for a little disbelief, but she explains that while piloting that she does have a little experience. Ok.
Good at blasters - Meh, should be decent for her I guess.
That scene with Kylo torturing Rey -
5 minutes beforehand she was shook just at the images Luke's lightsaber gave her. Now she is not only resisting Kylo's attacks, but flipping it on him?
I don't see a problem with Rey using her powers on the stormtrooper. She failed a bit, had to learn how to work it. Made sense for someone new using the force. Unlike the torture scene.
Lightsaber fight Kylo/Finn - Good, made sense.
Rey overpowering Kylo for Luke's lightsaber -
Kylo/Rey - Ok at parts, but for the most part
Before Rey's force moment, when he said "You need a teacher." I was like
So he wasn't going TOO hard on her because not only was he really emotional, tired from fighting Finn, took an injury while fighting Finn, he also wants to teach her. OK. Makes sense. Rey also has some experience with a weapon, as proved with her taking out those two dudes before chasing down Finn on Jakku. So her fending him off makes a little bit of sense when you think about all those things. After Rey's force moment/clarity thing, was like she downloaded lightsaber duels or something. She kicked Kylo's ass and was probably gonna make the killing blow if the planet didn't split.
WTF is that shyt. The ending of the battle was perfect, but the roles shouldve been reversed. Rey being saved by the planet exploding before Kylo can finish her. Kylo maybe trying to use force pull on her to bring her over but failing due to the planet being unstable and blowing up beside him. Rey needing to go see Luke/her father? for possibly more training and reuniting.
Questions for those who know more about the force/SW.
Why didn't Kylo use it(the force) against Rey during the battle? Too emotional?
Does the force just give you knowledge like that? (Rey/Kylo fight scene)
Kylo doesnt realize that is Luke's daughter/his cousin does he?
