I enjoyed it. It was good, not great.
I liked Rey. I didn’t care so much for Fin and that didn’t have anything to do with the fact that he was black. He just wasn’t a very good actor - although in Star Wars acting is superfluous.
Carrie Fisher bore little resemblance to her younger self - too much plastic surgery and hard times, I guess.
Ford was what you would expect.
The general was outstanding in his Hitleresque speech. (Same guy was the protagonist in Ex Machina). Good actor.
Chewy was the best ever.
I saw the movie a few days ago. I thought it was a good sequel to the original trilogy. Abrams did an admirable job incorporating the old main characters into the new movie. The Finn and Rey have a good chemistry and the movie contains lots of funny/witty dialog which reminds one that this movie is entertainment; and it is. It thankfully lacks the leaden characters and equally leaden dialog of the prequels. Even the new BB8 droid is an entertaining addition to the series. I’m looking forward to the next movie in the trilogy.
I agree, I didn’t care much for Fin, not very convincing. My mind is...well, never mind what it is but when I heard him refer to himself as FN something, something, something, and then truncate it to just FN, I immediately wondered, with all the other letters available, why would the writer pair those two as the name for a black character. In the urban vernacular, “FN” could mean something some would find quite, uh, derogatory. Hmmm?
I thought Rey was too godlike in her abilities. She discovered the force all of a sudden and became invulnerable?
